Vaidyaratnam Thriphaladi Kera Thailam can be a beneficial addition for your skin concerns, particularly for dryness and itchiness. It’s composed of a blend of Ayurvedic herbs known for their soothing and moisturizing properties. Triphala (a mix of three fruits), which is part of the formulation, is renowned in Ayurveda for balancing the Pitta and Kapha doshas, which are often involved in skin issues. The coconut oil base provides excellent moisturization and can help in retaining the skin’s natural moisture.
To use it effectively, apply the Thailam directly to clean, dry skin. Gently massage it in circular motions until it is fully absorbed. Doing this twice daily, once in the morning and again before bedtime, can be effective. It’s generally safe, but like with any product, it’s best to do a patch test on a small area of skin first to check for any allergic reactions.
In terms of dietary adjustments, focusing on foods that pacify Pitta and promote Kapha can be helpful. Incorporate more cooling, hydrating foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens, and prioritize warm, cooked meals over cold, raw ones to aid digestion (agni). Stay hydrated, but balance water intake to avoid over-hydration.
If you don’t notice improvements within two weeks or if symptoms worsen, it might be wise to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or dermatologist. Sometimes, persistent skin problems require a more comprehensive approach to target internal imbalances along with topical treatment.
Remember, while herbal products are generally safe, the unique interplay of your doshas, agni, and sapta dhatus in your body, might mean this Thailam works differently for you than others. Proceed with awareness and attentiveness to your skin’s response.
