Sitaram Malathyadi Keram - #29054
I am really struggling with some skin issues that have been dragging on for months now. It all started after I moved to a new place, and I noticed strange rashes popping up, mostly on my arms and legs. My doctor said it could be eczema, but the creams they gave me haven’t really helped much. I’ve done some reading, and finally came across Sitaram Malathyadi Keram while looking for natural alternatives. I saw that it’s supposed to help soothe skin problems and provide a bit of rash relief. But here's the thing – I have no idea how to use Sitaram Malathyadi Keram. Do I apply it directly to the affected areas? Or should I be mixing it with something else? I heard it works better when used along with a diet plan or certain herbs, but I’m not exactly sure what that looks like. Plus, I’m kinda worried if it might cause any reactions since my skin is super sensitive right now! Feeling overwhelmed honestly, because I tried a bunch of different remedies. Some worked for a bit, but then it all just came back. Has anyone had success with Sitaram Malathyadi Keram? And any suggestions on pairing it with other treatments or lifestyle changes to really boost results? Thanks in advance!

hello emma ,
i understand how frustrating and overwhelming it can feel to deal with persistent skin issues like rashes and eczema, especially when nothing seems to give lasting relief. Moving to a new place can sometimes trigger skin reactions due to changes in environment, water, diet, or stress, and it’s completely natural to feel anxious when creams and treatments don’t work. In Ayurveda, such skin issues often arise from Pitta imbalance (leading to inflammation, burning, rashes) and Ama accumulation (toxins affecting skin health). The goal of treatment is to soothe inflammation, clear toxins, and strengthen your skin’s natural resilience.
How Sitaram Malathyadi Keram Works: This is a topical Ayurvedic herbal preparation designed to calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and support healing. It works best when applied directly to clean, dry affected areas. For sensitive skin: Apply a thin layer 1–2 times a day. Leave it on for several hours or overnight if tolerated. Wash off gently with lukewarm water.
Internal Support (optional, to boost results): Triphala Churna: 3 g at night with warm water – helps detoxify and support healthy bowel function, indirectly improving skin Neem or Manjistha Churna: 1–2 g with warm water after meals – reduces inflammation and supports blood purification
Dietary Guidance for Sensitive Skin: Include: cooked seasonal vegetables, mung dal, rice, ghee, fresh fruits like pomegranate and apple
Avoid: fried, spicy, or processed foods, alcohol, excess caffeine, and very oily foods Drink plenty of warm water to flush out toxins
Lifestyle & Care: Avoid scratching or rubbing affected areas Wear soft, cotton clothing
Manage stress with gentle yoga or deep breathing exercises Keep your living environment clean and free from dust or irritants
Investigations (if needed): Blood tests for complete blood count and allergy markers Skin patch test if allergic reactions are suspected
Do’s & Don’ts: Do apply Keram gently on the skin twice daily Follow a mild, anti-inflammatory diet Stay hydrated and get sufficient sleep Avoid harsh soaps, chemical creams, or excessive sun exposure Track flare-ups and triggers Follow-up: Monitor skin improvement over 2–3 weeks Adjust topical or internal medicines if needed Keep a diary of diet, stress, and flare-ups
With consistent care, gentle topical treatment, proper diet, and supportive lifestyle measures, your skin can gradually regain health and the rashes can reduce significantly. Patience is key, as Ayurveda works gradually but deeply.

Sitaram Malathyadi Keram is an Ayurvedic oil renowned for its soothing properties, especially in conditions like eczema. You can apply it directly to the affected areas, gently massaging it into the skin twice daily. Make sure your skin is clean and dry before application, to get the best results. If you’re concerned about reactions, start with a small patch test on a less affected area to check for sensitivity.
To maximize the effects, you can integrate dietary changes. Ayurveda suggests that eczema might be a result of a Pitta imbalance, so including cooling foods in your diet like cucumbers, melons, cilantro, and coriander could be beneficial. Stay hydrated, and try to avoid spicy, oily, or fermented foods which can aggravate Pitta. Incorporating herbs like neem and turmeric, known for their anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties, may also be supportive.
Besides diet, consider lifestyle modifications. Meditation or simple breathing exercises can help reduce stress, a common eczema trigger. Wear loose, cotton clothing to reduce friction and irritation on your skin, and use a humidifier to keep moisture in the air if you’re in a dry climate.
Regarding other treatments, ensure you are not mixing too many at once which can confuse the body’s responses. Continue monitoring for any irritation or adverse effects, and do consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner or your healthcare provider, particularly when combining with other treatments.
Remember, with herbal remedies, patience is key as they often take time to show effects. Your body might require an adjustment period, so give it a fair chance before assessing its efficacy. Professional evaluation is crucial if symptoms worsen, ensuring that you’re addressing both the cause and the symptoms effectively.
Using Sitaram Malathyadi Keram directly on the affected areas is a good starting point for sootheing your skin. This traditional Siddha-Ayurvedic oil is formulated mainly with coconut as its base, infusing it with herbs known for their cooling and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s specifically used for alleviating skin irritation and rashes. Apply it gently on the rashes, leave it on for about 30 minutes, then wash it off with lukewarm water. It’s generally well-tolerated, but since you have sensitive skin, do a patch test first on a small area.
In addition to topical treatment, addressing the root cause is vital. Eczema often links to imbalances in the pitta dosha, which may be exacerbated by diet and environment. Try reducing intake of excessive spicy, oily, and sour foods which can inflame pitta. Instead, incorporate cooling foods like cucumber, watermelon, and greens.
Consider augmenting the oil treatment with herbs like neem and turmeric either in powder form or as supplements (consult with a herbalist for appropriate dosages), since they’re known for their skin-healing and anti-inflammatory nature. Working on enhancing digestion with herbs like triphala can also reset body’s internal balance by optimizing agni (digestive fire).
It’s important to note that sometimes persistent skin conditions may need further medical intervention, especially if symptoms worsen or new symptoms develop. Continuing to seek medical advice is crucial if there’s no marked improvement. While embracing natural remedies, ensure they’re part of a comperehensive plan that aligns with your daily life and ongoing healthcare advice.
