Vishal, your concerns highlight a blend of factors that point towards imbalances in the Pitta dosha, especially aggravated by the sun exposure, diet, and possibly stress-related events like your past facial palsy. Let’s address these conditions while considering your constitution and symptoms.

For solar urticaria, it’s imporatnt to pacify Pitta. Use cooling agents like sandalwood paste or aloe vera gel on the affected skin. Apply it immediately after sun exposure to soothe the skin. Incorporating natural Pitta-pacifying foods—like cucumber, watermelon, and coconut water—into your diet would help control the body’s heat. Avoid spicy, oily foods and citrus fruits especially during peak sunlight hours. Wearing protective clothing might also aid in reducing exposure.

Scalp psoriasis on the head often reflects systemic imbalances in the Rakta (blood) and skin-related doshas. Massaging the scalp with cool, medicated oils like Brahmi or Neem oil, applied gently, might reduce the symptoms and inflammation. Leave it for at least 30 minutes before you wash it off. Including herbs that cleanse the blood, like Manjistha or Nimba, can help internally. Consider taking Triphala at bedtime to maintain the digestive tract’s health naturally.

Regarding your gut and digestion issues, it seems there’s an Agni imbalance. Consume warm, easy-to-digest foods and drink warm water throughout the day. Including a pinch of black pepper or ginger before meals could enhance digestion and reduce the occurrence of burps. To aid digestion further, practice yoga postures like Vajrasana not during meals but about 20-30 mins after. It also helps to eat in a relaxed environment, chewing food thoroughly. Consulting an Ayurvedic doctor near your place can provide formulations and treatments like Panchakarma if necessary, which might effectively rejuvenate your digestive system. Stay mindful of any symptoms worsening or new symptoms arise, and get them checked promptly to avoid any complications.

For managing your solar urticaria, the primary concern is minimizing direct sun exposure. Try wearing protective clothing or using natural sunscreens, particularly those containing aloe vera or sandalwood, as they provide cooling and soothing effects. From a Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, this condition may be linked to a Pitta imbalance, so incorporating more cooling foods like cucumber, coconut water, and coriander can help balance this dosha. You could try avoiding spicy and fried foods, which can aggravate Pitta.

Regarding scalp psoriasis, it appears Pitta and Kapha imbalance might be factors. Regularly applying medicated oils like Neem or Brahmi oil could be beneficial. Warm the oil slightly before applying and leave it on for a couple of hours or overnight before rinsing. Avoid harsh shampoos; instead, use mild ones with natural ingredients. Incorporating turmeric in your diet might also help due to its anti-inflammatory properties.

Your gut issues, particularly the burping, suggest possible Vata imbalance or weak Agni (digestive fire). A simple remedy is to sip on warm water throughout the day with a pinch of cumin and fennel seeds. After meals, chewing on a few fennel seeds can ease those symptoms. Eating smaller, more frequent meals instead of large ones can make digestion more manageable. Avoid cold foods and drinks.

A holistic approach should be considered due to your history with facial palsy and kidney stones. Maintaining good hydration with warm water and regular gentle exercise can help. It’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional to monitor any underlying issues, especially given your medical history. This ensures that your treatment remains safe and effective in conjunction with any ongoing care you might be receiving.
