tikta ghrita - #2683

I’ve been struggling with these skin rashes that just won't go away for over a year now. They started as tiny red patches, mostly on my arms and neck, but now they’ve spread to my back too. It's not just the look of them that bothers me; they itch a lot, especially at night. I tried regular creams and even some steroids the dermatologist gave me, but the relief is temporary, and the rash keeps coming back. A friend recently told me about something called tikta ghrita, which is an Ayurvedic remedy. She said it’s some kind of ghee but infused with bitter herbs. To give you some background, my diet isn't the best. I eat a lot of fried foods and sweets, and I know it might be affecting my health. My digestion isn’t great either; I feel bloated almost every day, and I get heartburn frequently. I read somewhere that skin issues can be linked to gut health in Ayurveda, and tikta ghrita is supposed to cleanse the system. Is that true? Can tikta ghrita actually help with chronic skin problems like mine? Another thing is, my sleep is horrible. I stay up late scrolling through my phone and barely get 5 hours of proper rest. Could this be making the rash worse? I also tend to feel very hot internally—like, even in winter, I need to drink cold water to feel comfortable. Someone mentioned that tikta ghrita helps with heat or "pitta" imbalances. Does it work for those issues? I’m also confused about how to take tikta ghrita. My friend said it’s usually taken on an empty stomach, but I find the idea of eating ghee first thing in the morning kind of gross. Does it taste really bitter because of the herbs? How long would I need to take it to see results? Is it safe for someone with digestion issues like mine? Lastly, are there any side effects of using tikta ghrita? I know it's natural, but I’m worried it might not suit me or make my stomach problems worse. Should I change my diet if I start using it? Would I need to avoid fried foods or sweets completely?
