As an Ayurvedic practitioner, I recommend a holistic approach to treating chronic eczema and its scars. Eczema is typically related to a Pitta-Vata imbalance, where Pitta causes inflammation and heat, and Vata causes dryness. The goal is to balance these doshas and promote skin healing.
Treatment for Eczema:
Internal Herbs:
Manjistha: Known for its detoxifying and blood-purifying properties, it helps reduce inflammation and skin rashes.
Kutaja: Used to calm Pitta and Vata, and treat skin-related conditions.
Haridra (Turmeric): It has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that help reduce redness and swelling.
Triphala: This rejuvenates the skin and helps improve overall skin health.
External Applications:
Chandan (Sandalwood) Paste: Cooling and soothing, it reduces itching and inflammation.
Aloe Vera Gel: Helps to heal and moisturize the skin.
Coconut Oil: Moisturizes and nourishes the skin while reducing dryness and itching.
Diet and Lifestyle:
Avoid: Spicy, oily, and processed foods that can aggravate Pitta. Reduce consumption of dairy and gluten.
Include: Cooling foods like cucumbers, leafy greens, and coconut to balance Pitta. Hydrate well and eat anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, ginger, and neem.
For Scars:
Use Healing Oils: A mixture of Sesame oil and Turmeric can promote the healing of scars.
Brahmi Oil: Helps to rejuvenate the skin and reduce scars.
Lifestyle Tips:
Stay Calm: Stress aggravates Pitta, so practice relaxation techniques like yoga and meditation to manage stress.
Hydration: Keep the skin well-moisturized to prevent further dryness and cracking.
Since eczema can vary in severity, I recommend consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor a treatment plan suited to your individual needs. Regular treatment combined with lifestyle changes should help alleviate both the eczema and its scars over time.

Chronic eczema, hmm, that can be quite the persistent little bugger, right? With Ayurveda, we tackle these things from the inside out. Eczema, or Vicharchika as its sometimes called in Ayurveda, is generally linked to imbalances in the doshas, especially Pitta and Kapha. These doshas, when aggravated, tend to cause that annoying itching, redness, and inflammation. We want to cool things down a bit.
First things first, let’s talk diet since its a biggie. Try limiting spicy, sour, and greasy foods. These can crank up that Pitta dosha. Instead, focus on cooling foods like cucumber, coriander, and leafy greens. Even grains like barley and wheat can be beneficial. Drink plenty of water! Your skin needs to stay hydrated.
On to herbs and oils. Neem is a godsend – apply neem paste to the affected area or even try neem oil. It's got antibacterial properties that help soothe the skin. Turmeric, with its anti-inflammatory magic, is also great. You can make a paste with turmeric and a little water, supporting the healing process.
For scarring, which too can be a stubborn little thing, sandalwood paste often recommended in our texts. It not only calms down inflammation but also promotes skin regeneration. Dab it on scars regularly.
Consider using Kumkumadi Tailam, it's an Ayurvedic oil made for skin health. Apply it at night, gently massaging it onto scars. Trust me, it smells good and feels luxurious!
Please don’t neglect your digestive power (agni). If it's weak, toxins (ama) build up, making eczema harder to tackle. Maybe try Triphala at night. It keeps the bowel movements regular and helps cleanse the system.
Lifestyle matters too. Manage stress – easier said than done, I know. Mindful practices like yoga or meditation can do wonders.
Of course, chronic conditions can be complex, so it’d be smart to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can offer personalized guiding. And yes, if symptoms worsen or if there's severe skin damage, don’t wait – reach out for immediate medical help, alright?
