You can apply SNA Vachaalashuna Tailam directly to the affected areas of your skin. This oil blend, which includes the goodness of Vacha (Sweet Flag) and Lashuna (Garlic), is known in Siddha and Ayurvedic practices to soothe skin irritation, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. Before applying it, patch-test a small amount on your inner forearm to ensure there’s no adverse reaction—it’s particularly prudent given your recent issues after the detergent switch.
Given your concerns about oiliness, apply the tailam sparingly to just the rash area. A thin layer is generally sufficient. You can use it two to three times a day for best results. Unlike chemical-laden products, which might irritate further, this natural formulation is designed to restore balance and heal. It’s rare for people to experience any adverse effects from this tailam, but individual reactions can vary, so observe your skin closely in the first few days.
For itchiness, it might be helpful to keep the skin cool and dry—sometimes extra warmth can aggravate the rash. Using cool compresses can help in combination with the oil. If the rash worsens or doesn’t improve within a week or two, especially considering it started post a chemical exposure, seeking further medical advice would be wise.
Natural remedies like these oftentimes take a bit longer to show full effects, typically a few weeks. Ensure that your routine is consistent. If you’re avoiding chemicals, maintaining simple, gentle skincare is crucial. Simple soaps, mild natural moisturisers, and avoiding irritants can assist in clearing up the skin over time. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it’s important for a healthcare professional to reassess the situation.
