Why does my skin itches - #3482

Ah, that sounds super uncomfortable. Sorry, you’re dealing with that. Skin itching with pustules and eczema-like patches can point towards an imbalance in your doshas, especially Pitta and maybe Kapha. In Ayurveda, such symptoms are often linked to Rakta (blood) impurities and Ama (toxins) build-up in the body. Rght, first things first, you might wanna look at your diet. Try avoiding spicy, oily and fermented foods. These can aggravate Pitta, which may worsen itching and inflammation. Favor cooling and astringent foods like cucumber, bitter gourd, and green leafy veggies. Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins and sip on herbal teas made from Brahmi or Guduchi—they’re known to help balance Pitta. Your routine might need some tweaking too. Keep your skin care simple, clean and natural. Instead of synthetic products, go for coconut oil or sesame seed oil for moisturizing. They can help keep your skin hydrated without triggering the imbalance further. Also, avoid long hot showers, stick with lukewarm water. Sometimes lifestyle plays a big role. If possible, reduce stress and get a good amount of sleep. Meditation and gentle yoga work wonders for calming Pitta and making your skin complaints feel a bit better. Topically, you can apply a paste of sandalwood powder mixed with rose water. It’s soothing and can help with both itching and pimples. Applying neem leaf paste may also help, due to its antimicrobial properties; it's great for those pus-filled pimples. Now, it’s really important to mention, if your skin condition gets worse rapidly, or if you start noticing fever, severe pain, or any alarming changes, it’s best to see a healthcare provider quickly. Ayurveda complements well-being, but sometimes modern care is needed. Take care of yourself, this will take time but with patience, you might see improvement.
