Persistent itching, burning, and skin thickening on the legs and arms often indicate an imbalance in the Pitta and Kapha doshas, commonly associated with allergic skin reactions in Ayurveda. To soothe itching and inflammation, start by applying Kumari (aloe vera) gel or Coconut oil infused with Neem (Azadirachta indica) to calm and moisturize the skin, as Neem is known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Internally, taking Gandhak Rasayana (purified sulfur compound) and Haridra Khand (a turmeric-based formulation) can reduce allergic reactions and enhance skin health. You may also benefit from Triphala at night to gently cleanse the system and regulate the body’s detox pathways, and Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia) to purify the blood and help reduce itching. Avoid triggering foods like spicy, salty, or fermented items, and drink warm, herbal teas such as coriander or fennel to help balance Pitta. Dry brushing before bathing and opting for lukewarm showers with mild soaps will also prevent further irritation.

Your symptoms of persistent itching, burning, and thickened skin on the legs and arms suggest an imbalance in the blood tissue and the Pitta and Kapha doshas, with Ayurveda linking these with inflammation and chronic skin irritation. Ayurvedic remedies can help by purifying the blood and reducing toxins (ama) that may contribute to skin reactions. For internal cleansing, take NEEM tablets (500 mg) and GUDUCHI (Tinospora cordifolia) powder (1/2 teaspoon) twice daily with warm water. MANJISTHA powder (1/2 teaspoon), also taken twice daily, is recommended to support blood purification and soothe inflammation. Externally, apply fresh ALOE VERA gel with a pinch of turmeric powder on affected areas once or twice daily to cool and relieve itching. Additionally, gently massaging the skin with a mixture of COCONUT OIL (1-2 tablespoons) and a pinch of CAMPHOR can calm irritation and prevent further thickening; apply this at night for best results.
A Pitta and Kapha-pacifying diet, emphasizing cooling foods like cucumbers and leafy greens, helps manage inflammation, while drinking 2-3 liters of water daily aids in flushing out toxins. Avoid spicy, oily foods, and incorporate stress-relieving practices like meditation or yoga to support overall skin health. While these measures may provide relief, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for guidance on long-term management and personalized dosing adjustments.

All right, that sounds frustrating. I get it, let's dive into it. From an ayurvedic perspective, what you're experiencing could be linked to an imbalance in the doshas, maybe Pitta and Kapha. When Pitta goes off, it tends to heat things up – hence that burning. While, Kapha, when imbalanced, can lead to a thickening of tissues.
First off, let's cool it down. Neem leaves, which are bitter and cooling, could actually help a lot. Try grinding fresh neem leaves into a paste, adding a little turmeric (which is anti-inflammatory) and applying it to the affected areas for about 20 minutes then rinse it off. Do this once daily.
Diet-wise, avoiding overly spicy, oily, or salty foods might lessen that internal heat. Focus on a more cooling diet – think cucumbers, coconut water, and fresh coriander. Avoid anything too heavy or greasy, so bye bye fried goodies!
Internally, you could opt for Ayurvedic herbs like Triphala, which is great for balancing all three doshas. It's usually available in powder form. Just take a teaspoon with warm water before bed.
Aloe vera gel is also quite soothing. If you got access to fresh aloe, even better! Just cut a leaf, scoop the gel out, and apply it directly onto the itchy areas.
Drinking enough water is important to keep things hydrated, and adding few tulsi (holy basil) leaves in your water can be more beneficial.
Lifestyle-wise, try a regular dry brushing routine before showering. Use a natural bristles brush to gently exfoliate and improve circulation, then follow with a warm (not hot) shower.
Consider daily meditation or yoga as well to manage stress, which can flare up skin issues. If this is not getting better or it worsens, see a healthcare professional in person, just to be safe. Don't hesitate!
