Lichen Planus Treatment In Ayurveda - #4506

Anonymous

I’ve been diagnosed with lichen planus, and it’s been causing severe itching and skin discoloration, especially on my arms and legs. While I’m taking medications for symptom relief, I want to explore lichen planus treatment in Ayurveda to address the root cause and achieve long-term healing. Can someone explain how lichen planus treatment in Ayurveda works and what remedies are most effective? From what I’ve read, lichen planus treatment in Ayurveda focuses on reducing inflammation, purifying the blood, and balancing Pitta and Kapha doshas. Are herbs like Neem, Manjistha, or Khadir recommended for managing the symptoms of lichen planus? Does Ayurveda suggest external applications, such as herbal oils or pastes, alongside oral medications for this condition? How long does it typically take to see improvements with lichen planus treatment in Ayurveda, and are there specific dietary or lifestyle changes that can speed up the healing process? If anyone has managed lichen planus through Ayurveda, I’d love to hear about your journey. What treatments worked best for you, and were there any side effects or challenges during the process? Any advice on finding the right practitioner or regimen for lichen planus treatment in Ayurveda would be greatly appreciated.

For lichen planus, Ayurveda focuses on blood purification, reducing inflammation, and balancing Pitta and Kapha doshas. Here's an approach: Herbal Remedies: Neem: Detoxifies blood and reduces itching. Manjistha: Supports skin healing and blood purification. Khadir: Helps in managing skin discoloration and itching. External Applications: Neem oil or Kumkumadi oil for soothing itching and skin repair. Herbal pastes with Sandalwood and Turmeric to calm inflammation. Dietary Changes: Follow a Pitta-pacifying diet: Avoid spicy, sour, and fried foods. Include cooling foods like cucumbers, coconut water, and fresh vegetables. Lifestyle: Practice stress-relief techniques like meditation or yoga, as stress worsens symptoms. Avoid sun exposure and synthetic fabrics to prevent irritation. Timeline: Visible improvement may take 2–3 months with consistent treatment. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized regimen to ensure proper dosing and minimize side effects.
