Itchy dry skin that leads to white patches after few weeks of scratching - #22954

Namaste Anil

Thank you for reaching out and trusting this platform I can understand how deeply troubling Linga, this long-standing skin condition must be for you, especially as it now involves not just a physical discomfort, but visible changes in the skin and overall quality of life, what you have described reflects a chronic imbalance at the level of both acne that is digestive fire and Rakta Dattu that is blood tissue and also points towards the vitiation of PitaVATA and possible Kapha Dosha over time

Your symptoms of dry itchy skin followed by colour loss and white patches seem to indicate a condition in AyurvedaSHAWITRARKILASA with the pigmentation of the skin is disturbed due to DOSHA -DHATU imbalance, especially aggravated vata and pitta the history of itching, blistering, and white discolouration indicates that the skin has gone through multiple stages of inflammation, depression, and loss of BRAJAKA PITTA( a such type of PITT A responsible for skin colour and glow)

The strong connection between your digestive complaints and your skin symptoms is very significant. Ayurveda emphasises that all disease begins with poor digestion, the flatulence semi form tool multiple bowel moments and intolerance to milk and ghee clearly show deep seated AMA that is toxic undigested, residue, presence and disturbed APANA VATA Weakness and drowsiness after meal suggest that the AGNI is not only but also verse 1SHAMA leading to Mall absorption and DHATUKSHAYA. This is Y. Your seeing symptoms like hair loss, coldness in the body and reduced skin vitality.

It is excellent that you have started using himgwastaka churna and kutaja aristha both are suitable in your condition Hingwastaka balances VATA in the digestive track and improves digestion while kutaja Arista helps with bowel regularity and strengthens the GUT lining JAL BASTI when done appropriately under guidance can be very effective in reducing accumulated VATA and PITTA from the colon and support skin health, indirectly. You can announce its benefits by using medicated decoction like triphala or dashamoola kwatha

Four years skin specifically, the first goal is to purify the blood and balance the DOSH case internally

Arogyavardini vati-one tablet to be taken twice daily after food to purifier, liver and blood Khadira aristha -four teaspoon to be taken with equal quantity of water twice daily after food, Manjisthadi kwath-1 teaspoon in 400 ML water, boil litres hundred ML and drink twice and emptied stomach act as an excellent blood purifier Bakuchi taila-apply gently on white patches, ideally after an exposure of 5 to 10 minutes Avoid harsh, rubbing, or excessive scratching Keep the skin moisturised with herbal oils like Kumkum Thailam Avoid incompatible food like milk with sore fruits at night or fried fermented food Prefer warm easily digestible Meals with spices like CUMIN, Ajwain , dry ginger Regular oil massage Naya therapy Early sleep can greatly help stabilise VATA and improve nourishment to the skin

All your symptoms that is skin issues, digestive imbalance, sleep disturbances, coldness, and air loss, or interconnected with each other. According to Ayurveda, they all stem from impaired Agni. Disturbed VATA and PITTA and accumulated AMA When root is addressed, all symptoms start to heal So please do not lose, hope skin diseases to say they are stubborn, but it doesn’t mean that they are in curable.

The symptoms you’re experiencing suggest an underlying Vata-Pitta imbalance, causing dryness, itching, and digestive disturbances. In Ayurveda, it is believed that when Vata dosha, responsible for movement and dryness, and Pitta dosha, governing heat and metabolism, are imbalanced, it can lead to conditions similar to what you’re describing - especially involving skin and digestion.

Firstly, addressing the skin issue - the key is to pacify Vata and Pitta. Implement regular abhyanga (oil massage) using sesame oil or coconut oil to nourish skin and reduce dryness. Massage the oil gently on the affected areas, let it sit for 30 minutes, then take a warm shower. Avoid hot water which could worsen the dryness. You might also try using turmeric paste mixed with a bit of water and apply it on the white patches - turmeric can help soothe the skin. Avoid scratching, as it can worsen the condition; instead, try patting or rubbing gently if you must.

Regarding your diet, focus on warm, cooked meals incorporating foods that are easy to digest. Include ghee in small amounts since you found it hard to digest. You might want to try trikatu churna before meals to aid digestion, but consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to find the right dosage. Lean towards sweet, salty, and sour foods which pacify Vata, while avoiding spicy, fried, and fermented foods which can aggravate Pitta. Drink warm water instead of cold, and avoid eating late at night.

For your digestion, since you’ve found Hingwashtak churan helpful, continue with it, but ensure consistency. Jal-basti can aid in balancing Vata but must be done under supervision. If sleep disturbances persist, consider a light chamomile tea before bedtime to help relax the mind. Yoga and pranayama can be beneficial for calming the mind-body system and should be practiced regularly. Lastly, since there are many factors at play, please consider seeing a knowledgeable Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide personalized guidance, assessing firsthand your prakriti, symptoms, and lifestyle.
