Can I know during itching due to notice any rashes kind ?? How is your digestion / bowel habits are ?? Any past history n on any medications presently??

Persistent itching for 11 months can be complex, often indicating underlying dosha imbalances. In Ayurveda, such symptoms might relate to exacerbated Vata or Pitta dosha, affecting your Rasa (lymph) and Rakta (blood) dhatus. It’s essential to evaluate lifestyle, diet, and digestion, as these greatly impact doshic harmony.

First, examine your diet. Favor sweet, bitter and astringent tastes to balance Pitta. Cool and unctuous foods like ghee, milk, and cucumber can be soothing. Meanwhile, avoid spicy, sour, and fried foods that aggravate Pitta. Drinking coriander water—a teaspoon of coriander seeds boiled in a cup of water, sipped when lukewarm—can help cleanse Rakta dhatu.

Skin needs to be addressed externally too. Consider applying a paste of sandalwood and turmeric on itchy areas; both are cooling and anti-inflammatory. Add a touch of rose water, helping calm irritated skin.

Because high stress sometimes heightens Vata, incorporating meditation or pranayama (specifically Nadi Shodhana, the alternate nostril breathing) may be beneficial. Practice for at least 10 minutes daily to aid in settling overactive doshas.

Focusing on Agni (digestive fire) is vital. If digestion is weak, even the best diet can’t mitigate symptoms. Sip ginger tea before meals to ignite Agni, but if there’s burning sensation, opt for fennel tea instead to soothe digestion.

This type of symptom persisting for such a long time warrants a detailed diagnosis to rule out systemic issues. Consider arranging a more comprehensive Ayurvedic consultation for a personalized treatment including potential panchakarma therapies like Raktamokshana (bloodletting). Yet, ongoing or severe cases can underpin complex medical issues; seeking direct medical attention again may be necessary, combining allopathic with Ayurvedic follow-ups for a holistic approach.

Start with Avipattikar tablet 1-0-1 after food with water Tablet Liv-52 1-0-1 after food with water Vidangarist 10ml twice daily after food with water Haridhra khand 1tsp twice daily before food with warm milk. Apply coconut oil all over the body once daily before bath. Avoid nonveg food if you are non-vegetarian. Avoid coloured food, street food, junk food. Follow up after 10days.

Persistent whole-body itching for such an extended period can be distressing and could indicate an underlying imbalance that needs addressing from the root. In the Siddha-Ayurvedic perspective, itching is often associated with an imbalance in Pitta and Kapha doshas, sometimes involving Vata as well, which can manifest as heat and inflammation on the skin or an accumulation of toxins known as ‘ama’ in the body. Here’s an approach to consider:

Firstly, prioritize detoxification: A mild internal cleanse can help. Take Triphala churna—half a teaspoon with warm water at bedtime. Triphala balances all three doshas and helps cleanse the digestive tract.

Modify your diet to reduce Pitta: Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods. Increase intake of cooling foods like cucumber, cilantro, and leafy greens. Incorporate bitter and astringent flavors which help to pacify Pitta, like fenugreek, turmeric, and neem.

Keep your skin moisturized with natural remedies: Apply coconut oil or sesame oil after showering. These are calming oils that help soothe the skin and reduce irritations.

Avoid known triggers: It’s also crucial to identify if there’s any specific allergen or irritant in your environment contributing to this condition — be it fabrics, detergents, or diet, and eliminate them.

See a practitioner if no improvement: If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek a consultation with a practitioner specialized in Siddha or Ayurvedic medicine who can provide tailored formulations and possibly recommend Panchakarma therapies.

Stay hydrated and observe your stress levels as both can exacerbate skin conditions. Supportive herbs like Guduchi or Ashwagandha may also assist in balancing doshas and enhancing your body’s resilience against stress.

While Ayurveda offers profound guidance, it’s also critical to not forego regular medical consultations, particularly if your condition involves emerging complications.
