AVP Sahacharadi Thailam (Big) - #30655
I am really struggling with some skin issues lately and figured I’d reach out here for advice. For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with this really itchy and flaky skin condition on my arms and legs. It’s really bothering me!! A friend told me about AVP Sahacharadi Thailam (Big) and how it could help with dryness, so I got some to try it out. I’ve been applying it regularly but I’m not sure if I should be using it more or less? I read online that AVP Sahacharadi Thailam (Big) is good for nourishing the skin and soothing irritations, but should I also be doing anything else, like changing my diet or adding other natural remedies? I have tried changing soap and body wash, but nothing seems to work out fully. I’m just worried this might be more serious than just dry skin. Also, should I expect results right away from AVP Sahacharadi Thailam (Big)? It’s been a week, and I’m not seeing huge changes, so just wondering if I’m being too impatient. Any thoughts or experiences you guys could share would really help, thanks!

For your itch and flaky skin condition, using AVP Sahacharadi Thailam is a wise choice. This oil is traditionally utilized in Ayurveda for its beneficial properties in nourishing dry and irritated skin. However, seeing immediate results might be a little optimistic; Ayurvedic remedies typically take longer to show noticeable improvement because they work at balancing your body’s internal health.
In terms of usage, continue applying the Sahacharadi Thailam twice daily, preferably after showering. Warm the oil slightly before applying, as warm oils penetrate deeper into the skin. Gently massage it in circular motions and let it stay for at least 20-30 minutes before washing off with warm water. Consistent use over several weeks should gradually improve your symptoms.
Since you’ve already experimented with soaps and body washes, let’s focus on diet and lifestyle. Ayurveda emphasizes the balance of doshas, and dry, itchy skin often signals an imbalance of Vata dosha. Incorporate more warm, moistening, and unctuous foods into your diet. Favor cooked foods over raw, include oily, juicy fruits like berries or avocado, and increase your intake of nuts and seeds, like almonds and walnuts.
Avoid excessive caffeine and cold, dry foods, which may exacerbate Vata imbalance. Drink plenty of warm water or herbal teas to maintain internal hydration. Ghee or sesame oil can also be taken internally (provided you’re not allergic), around 1 teaspoon daily with warm milk or water, as it helps in lubricating and nourishing your tissues from within.
Adding practices such as gentle yoga or meditation will help reduce stress, a common factor exacerbating skin issues, including the itchy and flaky conditions. A good night’s rest and regular sleep patterns are also vital.
It’s true if your condition doesn’t shown improvement after a few weeks, it could be worth consulting a healthcare professional to rule out other underlying conditions such as eczema or psoriasis. They can offer insights or recommend complementary treatments that align with what you’ve already been doing. Patience and persistence are key in Ayurveda, so give the treatment some time to work.
