Eczema is often linked with dosha imbalances, typically Vata and Kapha. Managing this condition can be approached holistically through Ayurveda. Immediate relief aims at alleviating the itching and inflammation. Start with applying coconut oil mixed with a pinch of turmeric, as it’s soothing and anti-inflammatory. Do this twice daily, ensuring the area is clean before application.
Improving your lifestyle and diet can aid in reducing symptoms long-term. Try including more warm, cooked meals in your daily intake to balance Vata. Kitchari, made from mung beans and rice, is a nutritious choice that supports digestion. Avoid processed foods, cold beverages, and foods that increase Pitta like spicy, sour, and salty items which may aggravate skin conditions. Drinking warm water with ginger or cumin seed infusion through the day can enhance digestion and reduce Vata.
Manage stress through practices like yoga and pranayama as stress can worsen eczema. Bhramari pranayama may help in calming the senses. Make sure you practice in a quiet environment for 10 minutes a day. Brahmi or Ashwagandha supplements can support the nervous system and reduce stress. Consult with a local Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized dosage.
Address sinus and headaches by inhaling steam with a few drops of eucalyptus oil twice daily. Tulsi and ginger tea consumed in moderation can alleviate cold symptoms. However, ensure that these practices are not contradictory to any existing medications.
It’s essential to carefully evaluate your current corticosteroid and medication intake, under medical supervision. Eczema often requires continuous management rather than immediate cure, thus working with a health care professional experienced in both Ayurveda and your current treatments would be beneficial.
HELLO,
Eczema- is called vicharchika in Ayurveda It’s a type of kushta (skin disorder) that mainly involves vata and Kapha doshas, sometimes also pitta when there’s redness, burning, or oozing
AYURVEDIC VIEW -VATA DOSHA causes dryness, scaling, roughness, and cracks -KAPHA DOSHA causes thickening, itching, and stickiness -PITTA DOSHA causes redness , burning, and oozing
When these doshas get disturbed by wrong diet, stress, lack of sleep, or poor digestion, they mix with the blood and settle in the skin That leads to the symptoms your grandson experiences - dry, itching, inflamed patches on arms, neck and back
FOR SINUS RELATED MIGRAINE
Pain on the right cheek bone + heaviness around ear suggests -kapha accumulation in sinuses -secondary vata aggravation -> headache -possible pitta involvement if throbbing/heat Often, chronic skin disease + sinus issues share gut imbalance + immune hypersensitivity
TREATMENT GOALS -remove toxins from the body -purify blood -balance the doshas -heal the skin and strengthen immunity -improve digestion and metabolism
