this darkening and dryness of hands and feet is usually due to imbalance of Vata and Pitta dosha. Vata causes dryness and rough, aged appearance, while Pitta can lead to pigmentation and irritation. ------Dx: Vata-Pitta Dushti (Twak Vaivarnya) —Rx: 1)Tab. Dermacharge (Aimil) – 1 tab bd after food 2) Exoskin Cream (Aimil) – apply locally bd 3) Ayouthveda Delicate Skin Moisturizer (Aimil) – apply 2–3× daily 4) Pinda Taila – local massage at night —Advice: Avoid dryness/friction, use mild soap, wear soft footwear, hydrate well —Follow-up: 4 weeks
