Sootshekhar Ras and Gandhak Rasayan could indeed be relevant, but it’s essential to consider the root causes from an Ayurvedic perspective. The symptoms you describe—persistent rash, sensitive digestion, and flatulence—suggest an imbalance in Pitta and Vata doshas, likely exacerbated by the antibiotics disrupting your digestive fire (agni) and gut flora.
For the rash, consider a cooling approach to pacify Pitta. Applying a paste made from sandalwood powder and rose water to the affected area may offer relief. Coconut oil, renowned for its cooling properties, could also be applied to soothe inflammation. These are calming and naturally anti-inflammatory. Leverage neem and turmeric, which have antiseptic properties, in the form of a mild paste or carefully adding them into your diet as these can help cleanse and heal the skin.
Digestive issues may benefit from a reset. Begin with enhancing agni. Ingest a small piece of fresh ginger with a pinch of salt before meals. This can kindle digestive fire. Consider adding trikatu (ginger, long pepper, black pepper) to help stimulate your digestion, while also balancing kapha and vata. A tea made from cumin and coriander seeds can be soothing for gas and indigestion.
Your diet should ideally be light and pacifying, focusing on easily digestible food items like kichari (a mixture of rice and lentil), avoiding foods that are excessively spicy, oily, or causing excessive flatulence. Hydration with warm water throughout the day can aid digestion and detoxification.
Sleep and lifestyle are also critical. Regular sleep patterns, relaxation through yoga or meditation, and avoiding known stressors, can help in restoring bodily balance.
It must be emphasized that if your condition persists or worsens, seeking a professional’s consultation is crucial to closely monitor these suggestions, as a deeper understanding of your prakriti (constitution) would fine-tune this approach.
Your symptoms suggest there may be an imbalance in your Pitta dosha, particularly affecting your skin and digestive system. Both sootshekhar rasa and gandhak rasayan can be beneficial, but it’s important to address the root cause.
First, let’s tackle your gut health, as antibiotic use often disrupts gut flora. Incorporating probiotics through fermented foods like kefir, idli, or dosa can be helpful. These foods can support restoration of your digestive flora. Alongside, you may include buttermilk with a pinch of rock salt and roasted cumin after meals, as this aids in digestion and reduces bloating.
Focus on a Pitta-pacifying diet. Avoid spicy, acidic, and greasy foods, as well as caffeinated beverages. Favor cooling foods, such as cucumber, avocados, and coconut water. These help soothe inflammation. Regularly consume aloe vera juice (2 tablespoons diluted with water) on an empty stomach in the morning for reducing internal heat.
Applying a paste made from sandalwood powder mixed with rose water on the rash might soothe inflammation. However, ensure you test this on a small area first, in case of sensitivity. Meanwhile, avoiding synthetic fabrics and wearing loose, breathable cotton can reduce friction.
Yoga and pranayama are crucial in bringing balance, focusing on calming practices such as nadi shodhana (alternate nostril breathing) and shavasana (corpse pose). These practices aid in reducing stress, another contributor to digestive and skin issues.
If symptoms persist or worsen, consulting with a Siddha-Ayurvedic practitioner personally will provide a more precise diagnosis and treatment tailored to your prakriti. Always proceed cautiously with managing conditions like yours, ensuring no delay in receiving immediate or essential medical care when necessary.
