I'm sorry to hear about your daughter's symptoms. The skin rashes, constipation, and reduced appetite you're noticing could be signs of an underlying issue, such as a parasitic infection, or an imbalance in her digestive system. In Ayurveda, these symptoms may relate to an imbalance in the Pitta or Vata doshas, affecting digestion and causing inflammation. For her treatment, it’s important to focus on easily digestible foods like rice porridge and mashed vegetables, ensure adequate hydration, and consider probiotics for gut health. Ayurvedic remedies such as Triphala (under pediatric guidance) or Aloe Vera juice might help, but it's crucial to consult a pediatrician to rule out parasites and ensure safe treatment. You can also consider natural skin care with diluted neem or sandalwood oils for the rashes. However, any herbal or dietary adjustments should be done under the supervision of a healthcare provider, especially for a child.

Ah, that sounds tough! Dealing with little one's health issues can be distressing. Let's unpack what might be going on. From an Ayurvedic perspective, it could be that her digestion, or 'agni', is a bit out of balance. This can lead to accumulation of ama (toxins) and might also be influencing her skin and constipation issues. While your suspicion about parasites is valid, let's take a broader look at how we can support her system, keeping everything safe and natural.
First off, diet is key. For a 7-month-old, you want to ensure her food is light and easy to digest. Rice water or diluted moong dal soup can be gentle on her stomach and help reset her 'agni'. Avoid anything too heavy, oily, or hard to digest — no dairy and sugars which can exacerbate the situation.
Bathing her with water boiled with neem leaves is a traditional approach for addressing skin rashes. The antibacterial properties of neem could soothe the redness and irritation she's experiencing. And make sure her bath water isn't too hot, you want it lukewarm.
On the constipation front, ensure she’s getting adequate fluids. Boiled and cooled water, especially something like fennel seed water after cooling it down can also be soothing; fennel is nice for calming the tummy. A small amount, maybe a teaspoon, given twice a day might help get things moving along.
If she continues to have issues or if symptoms worsen, it would be wise to consult with a pediatrician, especially to rule out anything serious. Sometimes skin rashes and constipation might indicate a deeper imbalance so professional guidance is super important if things don't clear up.
Remember, Ayurveda is fantastic as a complement, but keeping all options open and working with modern medicine can be the best of both worlds. Wishing your daughter a speedy recovery!
