The symptoms you're experiencing—itching in various parts of your body, increased weight, and disturbed sleep—suggest a possible imbalance in the Kapha dosha, which can cause skin issues like itching, sluggish digestion, and retention of toxins (Ama) in the body. The fact that the itching improves when you're surrounded by clean, natural environments indicates that environmental factors, such as exposure to pollutants, allergens, or humidity, may be exacerbating your condition. Kapha imbalance can also lead to water retention and weight gain, contributing to the discomfort you feel. Additionally, the inability to sleep well due to itching could be linked to an aggravated Pitta dosha, which can cause skin inflammation and irritation.
To manage these symptoms, it would be beneficial to focus on balancing Kapha and Pitta. Begin by incorporating a diet that is light, dry, and warming to reduce excess Kapha. Avoid heavy, oily, and cold foods, and instead focus on fresh vegetables, whole grains, and spicy herbs like ginger, turmeric, and black pepper to stimulate digestion and detoxification. Herbal remedies such as Neem, Guduchi, and Triphala can help cleanse the body of accumulated toxins and improve skin health. Regular detoxification practices, like a gentle Panchakarma or herbal purgation, could also help clear excess Kapha and balance your internal environment. For the itching, applying cooling and soothing oils like coconut or sesame oil, followed by a warm bath, may provide relief. Additionally, regular physical activity to stimulate circulation, as well as practices such as meditation and Pranayama (breathing exercises), can help reduce stress and support better sleep. Lastly, avoiding exposure to environmental irritants or allergens is important for managing your skin condition.

It sounds like what you're experiencing might, from an Ayurvedic perspective, be related to a Pitta imbalance. Pitta's heat and intensity could cause that itching tingling sensation, especially if you notice this more in hotter weather or polluted environments, maybe it gets a bit worse in such conditions? You mentioned it lessens in cleaner environments like nature, which makes sense because Pitta is calmed by coolness and freshness.
Let's get into what you can try, remember, I'm here to provide guidance but catching up with a local practitioner or healthcare specialist for a more hands-on analysis is always a good idea, especially since it's affecting your sleep and overall well-being.
Starting with food - focus on cooling, Pitta pacifying diet. Eating more fruits like melons, grapes, pomegranates and veggies like cucumber, squash. Try minimizing spicy, salty, and sour foods, which might be increasing the heat in your body. Also, drinking plenty of water will help ease the symptoms — avoid caffeinated drinks as they can aggravate Pitta.
Lifestyle plays a big role in balancing doshas. I suggest bringing some calming practices into your routine, like evening walks, maybe by water bodies if that's accessible. Gentle yoga in the mornings or evenings could be beneficial too. Breathing exercises, even just a few sessions of Anulom Vilom can make a difference — they're not too time-consuming but aid a lot in calming the mind and cools down your system.
For the itching specifically, applying cool coconut oil or aloe vera gel to affected areas can soothe the skin. They have natural cooling properties. And since you mentioned sleep issues, maybe trying to establish a proper wind-down routine before bed could help reclaim some of that peace—incorporating calming herbal teas like chamomile or mint, known for aiding sleep and soothing Pitta.
Remember — these are small steps, consistency will help in balancing excess Pitta. You mentioned weight gain, kindly note stress and poor sleep can exacerbate that too, so adressing these might just have a dual benefit. Patience and consistency is key, let me know how it goes, or if there's anything else you're curious about!
