Drink plenty of fluids Apply Alovera gel and wash off after 15 minutes Do whole body massage with warm sesame oil on alt days Avoid spicy sour oily fried processed foods

WHAT YOU ARE EXPERIENCING IS VERY COMMON AND VERY CLASSIC OF VATA AGGRAVATION ESPECIALLY IN WINTER AND AROUND THIS AGE

DRYNESS ITCHING DEAD SKIN FINE PIGMENTATION AND TINY SPOTS ALL SHOW THAT VATA HAS BECOME STRONG ON THE SKIN LEVEL AND THE SKIN IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH SNEHANA AND RASA DHATU NOURISHMENT FROM INSIDE EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE DRINKING WATER

IN AYURVEDA WATER ALONE DOES NOT HYDRATE VATA SKIN VATA NEEDS OIL WARMTH AND NOURISHMENT

THE MEDICINES YOU ARE TAKING ARE GOOD BUT THEY ARE MORE NERVINE AND DIGESTIVE SUPPORTING THEY ARE NOT DIRECTLY NOURISHING THE SKIN TISSUE

WINTER COLD WIND LATE SLEEP FASTING DRY FOOD TEA COFFEE AND EVEN STRESS QUICKLY DRY UP VATA SKIN AND THAT SHOWS FIRST ON FACE

DO NOT SCRUB DO NOT USE HARSH FACE WASH OR FOAM BASED PRODUCTS THEY INCREASE DEAD SKIN AND PIGMENTATION

EVERY NIGHT APPLY 2 to 3 DROPS OF KUMKUMADI TAILAM OR ALMOND OIL ON FACE LET IT STAY OVERNIGHT

IN THE MORNING DO NOT WASH FACE WITH HOT WATER USE LUKEWARM OR NORMAL WATER

INTERNALLY YOU NEED MORE SNEHANA SO ADD ONE TEASPOON GHEE DAILY WITH LUNCH OR DINNER

ADD MAHATIKTAKA GHRITA ONE TEASPOON ONCE DAILY WITH WARM WATER OR BEFORE FOOD THIS WILL HELP IN DRYNESS ITCHING AND PIGMENTATION

ADD MANJISHTHA CHURNA HALF TEASPOON AT NIGHT WITH WARM WATER FOR BLOOD PURIFICATION AND CLEARING SKIN SPOTS

IF ITCHING IS MORE YOU CAN TAKE KHADIRARISHTA FIFTEEN ML WITH EQUAL WATER AFTER LUNCH AND DINNER

FOR OVERALL SKIN RASA DHATU SUPPORT TAKE GUDUCHI SATVA 2 PUNCH IN THE MORNING WITH WARM WATER

YOU CAN CONTINUE DASHMOOLARISHTA BRAHMI VATI ASHWAGANDHA AND SANKHAPUSHPI BUT HINGVASTAK SHOULD BE LIMITED IF SKIN IS VERY DRY TAKE IT ONLY WHEN THERE IS GAS OR HEAVINESS

INCLUDE WARM COOKED FOODS SOUPS DAL KHICHDI MILLET PORRIDGE STEWED VEGETABLES AND AVOID RAW SALADS AT NIGHT

SLEEP BEFORE 10.40 PM

THE PIGMENTATION AND TINY SPOTS ARE EARLY SIGNS AND THEY ARE REVERSIBLE IF VATA IS PACIFIED NOW

DO NOT WORRY THIS IS NOT A MAJOR SKIN DISEASE THIS IS YOUR BODY ASKING FOR MORE NOURISHMENT AND CARE

IF YOU FOLLOW THIS CONSISTENTLY YOU SHOULD START FEELING SOFTER SKIN LESS ITCHING AND BETTER GLOW WITHIN THREE TO FOUR WEEKS

TAKE CARE AND LISTEN TO YOUR BODY IT IS DOING ITS BEST TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOU

HELLO NAMASTEY,

Your skin problem is not a disease, but a functional imbalance

WHAT YOU ARE EXPEREINCING -Dryness -itching -dead skin/scaling -light pigmentation -tiny spots -worse in winter All these point to Vata dosha imbalance, which you were already diagnosed with earlier

HOW AYURVEDA SEES YOUR SKIN PROBLEM

SKIN IS NOURISHED BY -proper digestion -healthy blood -adequate oiliness -calm nervous system

In your case -vata is high -oiliness is low -skin nourishment is insufficient -cold weather increased dryness -mild Pitta involvement has started-> pigmentation

So this is called -Vata-pradhana twak vikara with early Rakta dushti

WHY THIS HAPPENED (ROOT CAUSE)

1) AGE FACTOR -At 40 years, vata naturally increases in the body

2) SEASON (winter) -Winter is cold, dry and rough- same qualities as vata

3) VATA PRAKRITI -Your natural body type is already vata dominant

4) LACK OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL OILING -Even if water intake is good, skin needs oil, to just water

5) DIGESTION AND ABSORPTION -vata affects digestion-> nutrients don’t reach skin properly

TREATMENT GOALS -pacify vat dosha -restore skin lubrication -purify and nourish rakta (blood) -strengthen digestion gently -rebuild skin tissue naturall -prevent progression to chronic pigmentation or eczema

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

A) SNEHA THERAPY (most important)

1)COW’S GHEE -1 tsp daily -morning, empty stomach -with warm water milk

DURATION -minimum 6-8 weeks -can continue longer safely

WHY IT IS GIVEN -ghee is the best medicine for vata -lubricates dry tissues -nourishes skin from inside -improves absorption of nutrients -reduces scaling and itching ->Many skin problems improve only with ghee, nothing else

2) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 1 tab twice daily after meals or 6 weeks =purifies blood , reduces itching, improves skin texture, prevents pigmentation from worsening, ver useful for tiny spot

3) KHADIRARISHTA= 15ml + equal water twice daily after meals for 8 weeks =classical for skin, improves complexion, helps dryness + pigmentation, supports liver and blood purification

YOUR EXISTING MEDIICNES (continue) -Dashmoolarishta= good for vata -Ashwagandha= strength and nervour system -Hingwastaka= digestion (use only when needed)

EXTERNAL TREATMENT without this internal mediicnes work one 50%

A) OIL MASSAGE= SESAME OIL + LITTLE GHEE (3:1)

HOW -slightly warm oil -apply on face and body -gentle massage -leave for 20-30 min -wash with lukewarm water

FREQUENCY -minimum 5 days a week

WHY IT IS GIVEN -directly pacifies vata -removes dryness -improves circulation -prevents skin aging

B) FACE CARE CLEANSER -Milk + few drops sesame oil OR -Besan + milk (2-3 times/week only) AVOID soap and face wash daily

WEEKLY FACE PACK -Sandalwood powder + milk + 2 drops ghee -once weekly

BENEFITS -nourishes skin -reduces pigmentation -improves glow

DIET -warm food -freshly cooked meals -ghee daily -milk warm -rice, wheat -moong dal -stewed fruits

AVOID -cold water -raw salads -dry snacks -bakery items -excess tea/coffee -skippping meals

WARM +OILY + NOURISHING IS THE RUEL

LIFESTYLE ADVICE -avoid late night -protects skin form cold wind -do not over scrub or exfoliate -keep body warm -reduce stress very important for skin

YOGA ASANAS -tadasana -bhujangasana -vajrasana -balasana

PRANAYAM -Anulom villom=10 min -bhramari=5 rounds

WHY -improves circulation -reduces vata -improves skin nourishment -calms mind

HOME REMEDIES -apply ghee lightly on face at night (2-3 times/week) -Drink warm milk with a pinch of nutmeg at night -use humidifier in winter if possible

PROGNOSIS -Itching and dryness reduces->10-14 days -Scaling-> 3-4 weeks -Pigmentation-> 6-8 weeks -Skin strength and glow-> gradual improvement

This is a reversible, manageable condition not a serious disease

Your body isa skin for -warmth -oil -regular nourishment -gentle care Ayurveda works slowly but deeply. If you follow this sincerely, our skin will not only improve but become stronger and healthier long term

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

Massage your body with sesame oil during winter season and coconut oil during summer season. This will help reduce dryness of skin Apply Aloe vera gel on at bedtime Have cow’s ghee 2-4tsp during the day. Too many medicines for vata dosha. You seem to be taking. Do consult ayurvedic physician for treatment plan as per your requirement.
