Asthma and dry skin often have a link in Ayurveda, usually tied to Vata and Pitta imbalances. The combination of dry, flaky skin and itchiness suggests an aggravated Vata dosha. Addressing this requires a multi-pronged approach incorporating diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbal remedies. First, focus on enhancing your digestion, as poor digestive fire (agni) can contribute to your symptoms. Start your day with a glass of warm water and lemon to stimulate digestion. Avoid cold, raw, or processed foods, as these can exacerbate Vata. Incorporating warm, cooked meals with spices like ginger, cumin, and turmeric can support your digestive health. Let's talk about skincare. For the itching and flaky skin, you can apply warm sesame oil to the affected areas before showering. Sesame oil pacifies Vata and hydrates the skin naturally. Use a gentle, natural cleanser—avoid harsh soaps that strip your skin of oils. After bathing, moisturize with aloe vera gel or coconut oil to lock in moisture. Regarding diet, increase your intake of nutrient-rich foods: think of whole grains, nuts, and dairy if you're not lactose intolerant. Sweet, salty, and sour tastes balance Vata, so including foods like ripe fruits, root veggies, and naturally-sour things like yogurt (if tolerated) can be beneficial. Incorporate breathing exercises (pranayama) such as Anulom Vilom or Bhramari Pranayama. These techniques soothe the mind and promote better respiratory health, useful for asthma. Practicing them daily in a calm, quiet environment may help alleviate some symptoms. For the gastric issues, you might try taking Triphala at night. This traditional Ayurvedic remedy aids digestion and supports regular bowel movements. Managing asthma alongside these skin and digestion issues requires consistency, so be patient with these adjustments. However, if symptoms persist or worsen, especially the breathing problems or major skin reactions, consulting a healthcare professsional is crucial.

Dr. Manjusha Vikrant Pate
With over 18 years of dedicated Ayurvedic practice, I have focused extensively on treating skin and hair disorders, integrating classical Panchakarma therapies with individualized care. A major aspect of my clinical approach involves Upakarma procedures—supportive therapies within Panchakarma—which I customize based on each patient’s Prakriti (constitutional type). I believe true healing begins when treatments are aligned with the body’s natural balance, and this philosophy guides every aspect of my work. My specialization includes the preparation and use of Ayurvedic formulations that I personally design, including face packs, hair packs, body oils, and facial oils—each one carefully selected and recommended according to the patient’s specific dosha and skin/hair condition. These formulations are result-oriented and rooted in time-tested Ayurvedic principles, ensuring safe, natural, and sustainable outcomes. In my practice, Ayurvedic facials are more than just cosmetic procedures; they are therapeutic treatments tailored to the unique constitution of each individual, aiming to restore inner and outer harmony. By incorporating dosha-based skincare routines and traditional beauty therapies, I help patients achieve visible improvement in conditions like pigmentation, acne, hair fall, and premature aging—without relying on chemical-based solutions. My goal is to blend classical Ayurveda with a practical, patient-focused approach. Whether managing chronic skin concerns, offering customized herbal solutions, or delivering rejuvenative Panchakarma therapies, I ensure each treatment is deeply personalized, holistic, and rooted in authentic Ayurvedic wisdom.

HI SRILAKSHMI , so what you’re going through the dry itchy scalp, flaky facial skin, pigmentation, asthma, and gastric issues are all deeply connected. In Ayurveda, this points to a Vata-Pitta imbalance, meaning your body is both too dry and overheated inside. That dryness affects your skin and gut, while the heat causes inflammation and pigmentation. After delivery, your body went through Dhatukshaya (tissue depletion), and without full recovery, it left your system sensitive. That’s why your skin became dry and discolored, your digestion slowed, and even your immunity weakened. Your asthma from childhood shows your Pranavaha Srotas (breathing channels)have always been weak and in Ayurveda, lungs and skin are closely connected. So now your body is dry, undernourished, and inflamed at the same time. These symptoms match conditions like Vicharchika, Charma Kandu, and Kshudra Kushta, which all come from deeper imbalances, not just external triggers. So we can’t just use creams we need to heal your gut, nourish your blood, cool your system, and strengthen your immunity. With the right herbs, oils, and food, your skin and breath will both start calming down and rebuilding. 1. Internal Medicines -Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet after food, twice daily Detoxifies liver, clears pigmentation, and supports gut health -Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water Improves digestion, reduces gastric heat, clears toxins -Manjisthadi Kashayam – 15 ml with warm water, twice daily before food Purifies blood, reduces itching, clears facial pigmentation -Chandraprabha Vati – 2 tablets at night Balancing, anti-allergic, improves urinary and skin metabolism -Haridrakhandam – 1 tsp with warm milk in the morning Soothing for itching, anti-inflammatory, supports immunity -Chyawanprash (light version) – 1 tsp daily Nourishes lungs, balances Vata, rejuvenates skin post-delivery 2. External Applications 1.For Scalp & Hair Use Neelibhringadi taila or Kayyunyadi Taila, warm it slightly and apply 2–3 times a week 2.Wash with Shikakai + Reetha + Amla powder or mild herbal shampoo 3.For Face & Skin Face lepa (mask) – Mix Manjistha powder + Yashtimadhu + Rose water – apply on pigmented areas 3x/week 4.Moisturize daily with Kumkumadi taila or Eladi taila diluted in few drops of coconut oil For Body Itching 5.Use Nalparamadi taila or Eladi keram before bath Bathe with green gram (moong) powder instead of soap 6.Final rinse with Triphala decoction once a week ADVICES: .Take light, warm, freshly cooked food – avoid leftovers, fermented, or too spicy foods .No curd, cold water, or excess dry foods Include: -Soaked almonds, raisins, dry figs -Moong dal soup, rice, ghee -Herbal teas: jeera + dhania + tulsi -Sleep early, avoid late-night screen use -Keep skin covered when outside, avoid harsh soaps and scrubs Investigations Advised: CBC, ESR Liver function test Serum Vitamin D & B12 Thyroid Profile Fasting glucose + insulin (optional) Skin scraping (KOH test) if scaling is too much or spreads fast THANK YOU , REGARDS - DR.KARTHIKA

HI Srilakshmi v, Thank you for sharing your concerns in such depth. Based on your symptoms — dry and itchy scalp, facial pigmentation, flakiness around the nose, chin, and ears, chronic asthma, gastric issues, poor appetite, and generalized itching — it's clear that there's a deeper systemic imbalance involving primarily Vata and Pitta doshas. Ayurveda sees skin conditions not just as surface-level issues but as reflections of internal disturbance, particularly involving digestion (Agni), blood (Rakta), and immune health (Ojas). Before initiating treatment, it’s important to understand that in skin diseases, a thorough in-person Ayurvedic consultation is essential. This allows the physician to assess your Prakriti (constitution), Dushti (level of tissue involvement), and severity, ensuring the line of treatment aligns with your individual needs. Suggested Ayurvedic Management (Based on Your Current Complaints) While personalized care is best, based on the symptoms shared, the following protocol may offer support: 1. Scalp Oil Application Use Dudhurdhapatradi Taila for gentle head massage Apply 1 hour before washing the head (2–3 times a week) 2. Herbal Head Wash Boil a combination of Amalaki, Daruharidra, Manjishtha, and Sariva Use this decoction to wash your hair in place of chemical shampoos 3. Weekly Scalp Mask (2x/week) Mix Bhringaraj, Amalaki, and fresh Aloe vera pulp Apply the paste on the scalp for 30 minutes before rinsing Internal Medications 1. Arogyavardhini Vati – 2 tablets twice daily 2. Gandhak Rasayan – 2 tablets twice daily 3. Panchatikta Ghrita – 1 to 2 teaspoons twice daily on an empty stomach 4. Panchsakar Churna – 2 grams twice daily with lukewarm water For External Use While internal cleansing is key, external care also matters: Keep your skin moisturized with natural oils like Kumkumadi taila or coconut oil Avoid chemical-based face washes and creams Dietary & Lifestyle Guidelines (Pathya-Apathya) Foods to Include (Pathya): Warm, freshly cooked meals with ghee Moong dal, bottle gourd, barley, Amla Spices like turmeric, cumin, coriander, fennel Herbal teas (jeera or ajwain water) Seasonal fruits (excluding citrus during flare-ups) Foods to Avoid (Apathya): Spicy, fermented, fried or overly sour foods Curd (especially at night), processed snacks, cold drinks Incompatible food combinations (e.g., milk + salty foods) Daytime sleeping, stress, and late-night eating Lifestyle Tips Practice light yoga and Pranayama, particularly Anulom Vilom and Bhramari to support asthma Maintain a regular eating and sleeping schedule Avoid exposure to harsh weather, dust, and chemical cosmetics The combination of skin and respiratory issues you're experiencing suggests a deep-rooted imbalance that can definitely be addressed with Ayurvedic care, patience, and consistency. I highly encourage you to visit a Ayurvedic physician in person for a detailed evaluation. With proper guidance, many individuals have experienced significant improvement in chronic skin conditions and related symptoms. Please feel free to reach out if you need help connecting with a practitioner or following the suggested regimen. Wishing you steady healing and strength ahead
