SNA Indukaanta Ghrutam - #32152

Lucas

I am really confused and need some help. A few months back, I started noticing these weird skin rashes on my arms and legs, they kind of itch like crazy! At first, I thought it was just a seasonal allergy, but they’ve kept coming back. After visiting a few dermatologists, I was told it might be an autoimmune thing, and they suggested all these creams and meds. None really worked – it just gets worse! Then my aunt mentioned SNA Indukaanta Ghrutam. I looked it up and saw that it’s supposed to be good for skin issues. I’m kind of desperate at this point. If I try SNA Indukaanta Ghrutam, how do I use it? Like, do I just apply it on the rashes or do I need to take it internally as well? I’ve also read that it can help with internal imbalances — could that be what’s causing these rashes? It feels like my skin is fighting against me, ugh! Also, how long should I wait to see some improvement after starting SNA Indukaanta Ghrutam? I really hope this will be my solution. If anyone has had similar experiences or has suggestions on dosage or how to incorporate SNA Indukaanta Ghrutam into my routine, I would sooo appreciate it! Thanks!

Doctors' responses

SNA Indukaanta Ghrutam, a classical formulation in Ayurveda, known for its benefits in managing skin issues, indeed focuses on addressing internal imbalances which often manifest as skin problems like rashes. Such conditions can often be linked to an imbalance in doshas — particularly an aggravated Pitta dosha, responsible for skin inflammations and autoimmune responses.

To use SNA Indukaanta Ghrutam, you should primarily take it internally. Typically, the advised dose is about 5 to 10 ml taken twice a day with warm water, preferably before meals. However, dosages should be adjusted based on individual digestion capacity (Agni) and should ideally be discussed with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner. It is generally used for a period of 2 to 4 weeks, but prolonged usage might be necessary based on the severity of the imbalance and the response observed. Always introduce it gradually, especially if your body isn’t used to ingesting medicated ghee.

While it’s used internally, if your skin allows it, you can occasionally apply a thin layer on the rashes. This can soothe external symptoms, yet focus on internal use as it addresses the root cause, such as dosha imbalance and tissue (dhatu) strength. The ingestion works to harmonize Pitta and help restore balance in Rasadhatu, the first tissue layer directly linked to the skin.

It’s also crucial to implement dietary and lifestyle changes to maximize the ghee’s effects. Avoid spicy, fried, and overly hot foods, which can aggravate Pitta. Opt for cooling, soothing foods, like coconut water, cucumber, and leafy greens. Maintain a regular sleep cycle and stress management practices like meditation or yoga.

Improving rashes might take a few weeks – patience is key. Monitor signs like reduced itchiness or a decrease in rash intensity as indicators of progress. Consult with healthcare professionals, especially if you’ve stopped other medications, to ensure that Ayurveda can compliment your overall treatment safely!

SNA Indukaanta Ghrutam might indeed be a potential aid for your skin issues. In Ayurveda, skin problems often arise due to an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Pitta, which can manifest as inflammation and itching. Indukaanta Ghrutam is known for its ability to balance Vata and Pitta doshas and support the body’s immunity and overall health. Its approach is holistic, so it aims to address the root cause rather than just treating symptoms superficially.

Typically, Indukaanta Ghrutam is taken internally, rather than applied directly to the skin. The usual dosage is about 1 to 2 teaspoons per day, best taken first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Follow it with warm water to aid digestion. However, it’s important to adjust this recommendation in line with your body’s response, and ideally under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized dosage.

Given wholistic nature of Ayurvedic medicine, addressing your diet is also important. Reduce intake of spicy, oily, and processed foods that can aggravate Pitta. Incorporating cooling and calming foods like cucumber, aloe vera juice, and coconut water can be beneficial.

Improvements with Ayurvedic treatments are typically gradual. You might notice changes within a few weeks, but significant change could take a few months. Consistency is key.

Remember, persistent skin issues should be monitored closely. If symptoms worsen or don’t improve, consult with a healthcare professional. Additionally, since you mentioned potential autoimmune causes, ensure that any Ayurvedic treatment won’t interfere with ongoing medical therapies. Balance is crucial in all therapies, especially when dealing with immune-related issues—make sure to discuss with a specialist who understands both Ayurveda and conventional medicine.
