I also have dandruff since then, my face is oily but my whole body skin is always on the drier side, not plumpy or hydrated. I am 158 cm and 90 kgs. Before 2020 I weigh 97 kgs but never have those problems, only acne. Now my acne is gone but eczema came instead.

Eczema and dandruff can be troublesome, especially when conventional treatments seem to offer only temporary relief. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach, focusing on balance and addressing the root cause, rather than just symptoms. Your description points to an imbalance in the Vata and Pitta doshas. The dry skin and eczema suggest Vata imbalance, while the oily skin on your face and dandruff indicate excess Pitta. Here’s a guide to help you achieve balance: 1. Diet: To pacify Vata, incorporate warm, oily, and nourishing foods like ghee, warm soups, stews, and cooked whole grains. Avoid raw foods, cold drinks, and dry snacks. To manage Pitta, avoid spicy, salty, and sour foods, opting instead for cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. Drink coconut water, which cools and hydrates without exasperating your doshas. 2. Herbal Supports: Consider taking Triphala, an ayurvedic formula for detoxifying and balancing. Neem capsules or powder can also help with skin issues. Take these before bed following a consult with an ayurvedic practitioner to avoid contraindications with current conditions or medications. 3. Oil Massage (Abhyanga): Regularly massage your body with sesame oil or herbal oils like Brahmi or Neem. This helps moisturize and address Vata imbalance while calming Pitta. 4. Lifestyle: Adequate sleep is crucial. Establish a calming bedtime routine and aim for 7-8 hours of sleep. Try meditation or deep-breathing exercises to reduce stress, which can aggravate your skin issues. 5. Skincare Routine: Use gentle, natural products. Aloe vera gel can be soothing for eczema. Avoid harsh soaps or anything that strips the skin of its natural oil. For dandruff, apply a few drops of tea tree oil mixed in coconut oil to your scalp before washing. 6. Hydration: Ensure enough water intake daily. While it’s crucial not to over hydrate (which can imbalance fluids), aim to drink when thirsty and prioritize hydrating foods. Consistently following these suggestions may take time before you see results, so patience is essential. If conditions persist or worsen, consult an ayurvedic practitioner for personalized insights. Remember, each person’s constitution is unique, so it might take some time to find the right combination for you.
