Tinea versicolor Ayurvedic treatment - #3694
For the past few months, I’ve been dealing with discolored patches on my chest and back that itch occasionally, especially in hot and humid weather. My doctor diagnosed it as tinea versicolor, a fungal infection, and prescribed an antifungal cream. While it helps temporarily, the patches keep coming back. I’ve started looking into tinea versicolor Ayurvedic treatment to find a more natural and long-term solution. From what I’ve read, tinea versicolor could be linked to an imbalance in kapha or pitta dosha, which makes sense since I sweat a lot and have oily skin. Are there specific Ayurvedic remedies, like herbal pastes or oils, that work well for treating this condition? I’ve come across ingredients like neem, turmeric, and aloe vera – are these effective for fungal infections like tinea versicolor? I’m also curious about internal treatments. Does Ayurveda recommend herbal teas or supplements to detoxify the body and prevent fungal infections from recurring? Should I be avoiding certain foods that could aggravate the condition, like dairy or fried items? If anyone here has used Ayurvedic treatment for tinea versicolor, what worked for you? How long did it take to see results, and were there any side effects? I’d love advice on managing this condition naturally and preventing future flare-ups.
