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
TREATMENT GOALS -remove toxins from the body -purify blood -balance the doshas -heal the skin and strengthen immunity -improve digestion and metabolism
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) KHADIRARISHTA= 20 ml twice daily after meals with warm water =excellent blood purifier, reduces itching and rashes
2) MANJISTHADI KAHSAYA= 20 ml twice daily before meals with warm water =detoxifies skin and improves complexion
3) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily after meals =acts as Rasayana,a boosts immunity, prevents infection
4) AROGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals = regulates liver and digestion, essential skin health
5) SARIVADI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =cooling and soothing balances pitta and rakta
6) SOOTSEKHAR RAS (if dryness is severe)= 1 tab twice daily with ghee after meals =reduces vata, calm itching, and improves digestion
DURATION= 8-12 weeks
EXTERNAL TREATMENT

-KAILAS JEEVAN OR ALOE VERA GEL=for mild itching or redness- cooling and mositurizing
-KUMKUMADI TAILA (night)= if skin becomes too dark or patchy= improves texture and tone
Avoid steroid creams or perfumed lotions, as they can worsen dryness over time
DIET AND LIFESTYLE -warm, freshly cooked food with a little ghee -green leafy vegetables boiled/spiced lightly -fruits=pomegranate, apple, papaya, amla -whole grains= rice, wheat, millets -herbal teas with tulsi, guduchi , or licorice -adequate water intake warm water preferred
AVOID -curd, cheese, panner, and other dairy especially at night -fried, oily, and spicy foods -sour foods- vinegar, pickles, citrus in excess -junk foods, bakery items, soft drinks -late night sleep ,irregular eating -excessive stress or overthinknig increases vata
YOGA ASANAS -bhujangasana= improves blood flow to skin -ardha matysnedrasana= enhances digestion -tadasana and vrikshasana= stabilises vata -pawanmuktasana= relieves bloating, aids detox
PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom= balances all doshas -Bhramari= calms the mind and reduces itching related to stress -Sheetali/sheetkari= cooling, helps pitta related burning or redness
HOME REMEDIES -Neem and turmeric paste- apply on itchy areas 1-2 times/week -anti septic, anti inflamatory -Coconut water with camphor tiny pinch- for night application- relieves itching and dryness -Aloe vera pulp + sandalwood powder - apply as a mask- cools and soothes skin -Drink turmeric. milk 1/4 tsp turmeric in warm milk nightly- supports internal cleansing -Bath with oatmeal or green gram powder- natural cleanser for sensitive skin
Eczema is a chronic but reversible condition. Ayurveda treats is holistically- by cleansing toxins, nourishing skin and restoring internal harmony The key lies in -consistency with herbal medicines -proper diet and regular lifestyle -avoiding known triggers -keeping a cam, stress free mind
Once the doshas are balanced and digestion is strong, skin regains its natural softness and glow- with fewer flare ups
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU
DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
Why your eczema is persisting (simple explanation) From your details:
6 months duration Dry, flaky skin Food triggers Night-time itching worse This strongly suggests: Pitta + Vata imbalance Chronic skin dryness (Rukshata) Heat + toxin build-up in blood (Rakta dushti) Night itching → Pitta rises naturally at night (10 pm–2 am) Brown color = post-inflammatory pigmentation, not permanent damage. Immediate relief for NIGHT ITCHING (very important) 🌙 Night routine (do this daily) Before sleep: Mix: Coconut oil – 1 teaspoon Neem oil – 4–5 drops Apply gently on affected area Do NOT rub Wear loose cotton clothing ✔ This reduces: Heat Itching Night irritation ⏳ Relief in itching: 3–7 days Internal Ayurvedic support (to reduce recurrence) 🌿 Core medicines (simple & effective) 1️⃣ Gandhak Rasayan 1 tablet twice daily after food → Best for chronic eczema, itching, dryness 2️⃣ Khadirarishta 15 ml + equal water, after lunch & dinner → Blood purification, reduces pigmentation 3️⃣ Triphala churna 3–5 g at night with warm water → Reduces toxin load, improves skin healing ⚠️ Avoid mixing too many medicines at once. Diet control (THIS decides success or failure) Since food triggers your itching, this is crucial. ❌ STRICTLY AVOID (at least 6 weeks) Curd (especially at night) Sour foods (pickle, vinegar) Tomatoes Brinjal Bakery items Excess sugar Fried & packaged food ✅ PREFERRED FOODS Moong dal Lauki, tori, pumpkin Rice / roti Ghee (1–2 tsp/day) Coconut water Boiled vegetables Food control alone can reduce itching by 40–50%. Bathing & skincare rules (often ignored) Use lukewarm water only No soap on affected area (use besan + water if needed) No loofah / scrub After bath → apply plain coconut oil For brown discoloration (once itching reduces) ⚠️ Do NOT try to treat pigmentation while itching is active. After 3–4 weeks (when redness/itching calms): Apply Kumkumadi Taila Only at night Very small amount Patch test first Pigmentation lightens gradually in 2–3 months.
Hlo,
Based on Ayurvedic understanding, your symptoms suggest Vicharchika / Pitta–Kapha dominant Kushtha, where Pitta causes burning, itching & dark/brown discoloration, and Kapha causes oozing, thickening & chronicity. Night-time itching increases because Pitta naturally aggravates at night 🌙.
Ayurvedic Cause Aggravated Pitta → burning, irritation, brown/black discoloration Kapha + toxins (Ama) → chronic eczema, dryness, thick skin
Food triggers → incompatible & inflammatory diet (Viruddha Ahara)
Ayurvedic Prescription (General guidance) 🌿 Internal Medicines (Use under an Ayurvedic doctor’s supervision)
- Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tablet twice daily after food - Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet once daily after lunch - Mahamanjisthadi Kwath – 15 ml + equal warm water, twice daily - Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp at night with warm water (reduces night itching)
🌿 External Application Neem oil + Coconut oil (1:1) Apply gently twice daily, especially before sleep
If burning is severe → Shatdhauta Ghrita at night ❌ Avoid steroid creams (they worsen discoloration long-term)
🍽️ Diet Rules (VERY IMPORTANT) ✅ Eat Bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin Rice, moong dal Pomegranate, apple Buttermilk (daytime only) ❌ Avoid Completely Curd at night Eggs, fish, meat Fried, spicy, sour foods Bakery, chocolate, fermented foods Milk + salt or milk + fruits together
🌙 Night-Time Itching Control Tips Wash affected area with cool water only Apply oil/ghrita before sleep Keep nails short Sleep before 11 PM
⏳ Improvement Timeline Itching relief: 2–3 weeks Color improvement: 6–8 weeks Chronic control: 3–4 months with diet discipline ⚠️ If lesions are oozing, infected, or spreading fast, Panchakarma (Virechana / Raktamokshana) may be needed. Tq
Hello I can understand your concern regarding eczema that’s been around forever. All that itching, dark skin, dryness, and then it gets even worse at night – it’s really tough.
When you’re constantly itching, it messes with your sleep and just makes you feel stressed out. But don’t worry, Ayurveda has a way of getting to the bottom of eczema and can give you lasting relief if you stick with it.
AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING ABOUT ECZEMA
In Ayurveda, eczema often looks a lot like what we call Vicharchika or Kushtha.
Your symptoms sound like:
–Pitta + Kapha are high: That’s why you’re itchy, your skin color is off, and it’s inflamed. –Rakta Dushti (blood isn’t pure): This shows up as those brown or dark skin patches. –Rukshata (dryness): Explains why your skin is flaky. –Ama built up: This points to certain foods being triggers and why it’s been going on for so long. –Night itching: Pitta and Rakta get stirred up more at night.
When your digestion (Agni) is weak, bad stuff (Ama) gets into your blood and shows up on your skin.
What to Check (If You Haven’t Already)
It’s a good idea to check these things to rule out anything making it worse: * CBC * ESR / CRP * Liver function * Serum IgE (tells us about allergies) * Vitamin D & B12
AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
1. SHODHANA
–Virechana (gentle cleanse): This is great for eczema that’s been around a while.
–Regular blood-cleansing treatments: Really good for long-term cases.
2. INTERNAL MEDICATION
For Itching, Skin Color, & Inflammation * Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 pill twice a day after food * Mahamanjishthadi Kwath – 15 ml twice a day with the same amount of warm water * Gandhak Rasayan – 1 pill twice a day after food * Khadirarishta – 15 ml twice a day after food with water
For Night Itching and Heat * Avipattikar Churna – 1 teaspoon at bedtime with warm water * Guduchi (Giloy) Churna – 3 grams twice a day
EXTERNAL CARE
Daily Care: * Put Karanj Taila or Nimba Taila on the spots twice a day. * If your skin is super dry: Mix Nimba Taila + Coconut oil (half and half).
Bathing: * Use lukewarm water. * Put neem leaves or triphala tea in your bath water. * Skip regular soaps; use an herbal scrub or a gentle glycerin soap.
DIET PLAN
✅INCLUDE * Warm, fresh meals. * Rice, wheat, moong dal. * Bottle gourd, ridge gourd, pumpkin. * Pomegranate, apple, pear. * A little cow ghee. * Lots of warm water.
❌AVOID * Curd, buttermilk at night. * Sour, fermented foods. * Pickles, vinegar. * Baked goods, fast food. * Tomatoes, brinjal (if they make itching worse). * Too much sugar & salt. * Seafood (a common trigger for eczema).
LIFESTYLE CHANGES
* Go to bed before 10:30 p.m. * Don’t sleep during the day. * Keep your nails short (so you don’t scratch). * Wear loose, cotton clothes. * Try to chill out (stress makes eczema worse).
HELPFUL TIPS * Sheetali & Sheetkari Pranayama (breathing exercises). * A short walk in the morning. * Gentle oil massage (with oils that don’t irritate).
Important Reminders
* Don’t keep using steroid creams. * Don’t switch treatments all the time. * Stick to the diet – medicines alone won’t do it. * Talk to an Ayurvedic doctor before doing any major cleansing.
Eczema is something you can manage and get under control with Ayurveda, especially when you fix your digestion, clean up your blood, and sort out your lifestyle. If you’re consistent, you’ll have fewer flare-ups, and your skin will naturally look and feel better.
Hope you get healthy, calm skin and some good sleep soon!
Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
