Stop all soaps, scented pads, tight synthetic inners right now – they are 90 % of the cause.

Apply these 2 things only – itching gone in 1–3 days 1 Pure Cow Ghee (Desi) – tiny amount → apply gently on itchy area morning & night after washing with plain warm water 2 Coconut oil + 3–4 drops Tea-tree oil – mix & apply if ghee not available

Wash only with Warm water + pinch rock salt OR Triphala powder → 2 times daily Wear only cotton panties, change twice daily, keep area dry. Avoid completely Soap, dettol, scented wipes, talcum powder, tight jeans

Extra safe oral (if itching still >3 days) Gandhak Rasayan 250 mg night with water (clears hidden heat)

Start ghee tonight – you will feel normal by tomorrow morning.

Simply use an ALUM CRYSTAL to wash your vaginal area after you pee every time.

If you have white discharge or watery discharge change your panties regularly.

Donot use any kind of harsh soap or anything else. Simply apply ALUM CRYSTAL as you apply soap.

Hello, 1. Please maintain the hygiene by washing the private part with warm water and then pat dry gently with clean cloth every time you use the wash room. 2. Local application of V-gel(Himalaya) 2 times a day will take care of dryness if any and also if there is some kind of mild infection. Take care, Kind regards.

Hello Thank you for sharing your concern. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊

✅ YOUR CONCERN You are having:

Itching in the upper vaginal area Duration: Less than 1 week No discharge, no pain, no burning during urination History of sensitivity to soaps/products

✅ At present, the absence of discharge, foul odor, and pain indicates that this does NOT constitute an infection. Most probably it is: -Itching caused by dry skin -Irritation caused by a product

✅ INTERNAL MEDICATION (Only mild internal support is needed at this stage)

1. Gandhak Rasayan – 1-0-1 after food (Blood purifier, alleviates skin itching and allergic conditions)

2. Triphala Churna – ½ tsp at bedtime with warm water (Enhances gut & skin detox)

✅ EXTERNAL CARE (OINTMENT – MOST IMPORTANT FOR YOU)

✅ BEST AYURVEDIC OINTMENTS:

1. Jatyadi Taila – Apply a thin layer locally twice daily (An agent of relief from itching, dryness & tissue repair)

OR

2. Coconut oil + a few drops of castor oil – Apply locally twice daily (If you intend to make a simple home remedy)

Only external application is recommended.Do keep the area clean and dry before application.

✅ HOME REMEDIES

1. Wash the area only with lukewarm water 2. Avoid all: Perfumed soaps Intimate washes Scrubs

3. Wear only loose cotton underwear 4. Keep the area dry after bathing 5. Do not scratch (even if the itching is very severe)

✅ DIET PLAN

INCLUDE Coconut water Buttermilk Pomegranate Cucumber Home-cooked simple food Plenty of warm water

❌AVOID Spicy food should be avoided along with fried dishes, sugar in excess, bakery and junk food, and tea/coffee in large quantities.

✅ LIFESTYLE TIPS

Do not use panty liners on a daily basis If your clothes become sweaty, change them right away For a few days, do not wear tight jeans/leggings Refrain from sexual activities until the time that the itching disappears

By applying the ointment mentioned above and not using irritants, your itching will probably disappear within 2–4 days.

Warm Regards Dr Snehal ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌Vidhate

Itching in the vaginal area, specially at the upper part, can stem from various factors like dryness, infections or allergies. As per Ayurveda, itching is often linked to Pitta or Vata imbalance. Before applying any ointment, it’s essential to address these doshas to alleviate the root cause.

1. Aloe vera gel or Coconut oil: You can start with applying pure aloe vera gel or coconut oil in the affected area. Aloe vera soothes and hydrates, while coconut oil has antimicrobial properties. Before application, wash the area with lukewarm water and pat dry gently. Apply a small amount of either and let it absorb naturally. Do this twice a day, preferably after a bath and before bed.

2. Neem and turmeric paste: If you are open to herbal remedies, a paste made from neem leaves and turmeric powder mixed with water may help. Make a smooth paste and apply it on the area. Leave it for 10-15 minutes and then rinse it off with lukewarm water. These are natural antibacterials and can aid inflammation. However, do a patch test first to rule out any allergies to these substances.

3. Avoid synthetic fabrics: Opt for breathable, cotton underwear and keep the area dry. Avoid tight clothing that may irritate the area further, especially in warm climates.

4. Hydration and diet: Increase your water intake, as dehydration can exacerbate dryness. Include foods rich in Omega-3’s like flax seeds, fish oil in your diet, they’re known to nourish skin tissues.

If these methods don’t bring relief in a few days, or if the itching worsens, consult a healthcare provider to rule out any infections like yeast or bacterial vaginosis. Avoid self-prescribing over-the-counter medications like anti-fungal ointments without a diagnosis, as inappropriate treatment can mask symptoms.
