Ichthyosis vulgaris treatment in Ayurveda - #3605

Anonymous

My 10-year-old son has been diagnosed with ichthyosis vulgaris, a skin condition that causes thick, dry, and scaly patches, especially on his legs and arms. We’ve tried multiple creams and moisturizers, but nothing seems to work long-term. I’ve started exploring ichthyosis vulgaris treatment in Ayurveda because I’ve heard it can address chronic skin issues holistically. From what I’ve read, ichthyosis vulgaris might be linked to imbalances in pitta or vata dosha. Could this explain why his skin is so dry and flaky? Are there Ayurvedic oils or herbal remedies that can help reduce the scaling and improve the skin’s texture? I’ve come across mentions of oils like coconut and sesame, as well as herbal pastes made from turmeric and neem. Does Ayurveda recommend internal treatments for ichthyosis vulgaris, like herbal powders or tonics? I’m also curious about dietary changes – are there specific foods he should avoid or include to help with this condition? If anyone here has experience with ichthyosis vulgaris treatment in Ayurveda, what worked for you or your loved one? Were there any therapies or combinations of remedies that showed significant results? I’d love to hear about any long-term management strategies to improve his quality of life.

Ichthyosis vulgaris is often linked to imbalances in vata and pitta doshas in Ayurveda, as both these doshas influence skin health. Vata imbalance can lead to dryness and roughness, while pitta imbalance can cause inflammation and irritation. To manage this condition holistically, Ayurvedic remedies focus on nourishing the skin and restoring balance. External treatments like coconut oil, sesame oil, and herbal pastes made from turmeric, neem, and manjistha are known to hydrate, soothe, and improve skin texture. Internally, herbs like triphala, amalaki, and guggul can help detoxify the body, balance pitta, and promote healthy skin. A diet rich in healthy fats like ghee, nuts, and seeds, along with warm, moist foods, can help nourish the skin from the inside out. Avoiding overly spicy, salty, or oily foods, which may aggravate pitta, is also recommended. Regular oil massages (abhyanga) and maintaining hydration are crucial for long-term management. It's important to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized approach to treatment and ongoing care.
