What cream is good for skin allergies? - #59455
I am dealing with some really frustrating allergic reactions lately. Like, it seems like every time I eat something new or even touch certain fabrics, my skin goes crazy, and I'm left with these itchy rashes that just won't quit. I think I might be allergic to something in my environment too, ugh! My doctor mentioned some creams for skin allergies, but they don't seem to help much, and I hate the idea of relying on those all the time. I have read a bit about allergic reactions treatment in Ayurvedic medicine, and I'm curious. How do you guys usually go about treating hypersensitivity reactions? Are there specific herbs or remedies that can help with the itchiness without side effects? Also, sometimes I feel like my body just reacts to everything, and it’s really draining. I have tried to keep a food journal to see if I could pinpoint triggers, but it’s hard. What would you recommend for someone like me who's super sensitive? I’m looking for something more holistic that could help reduce these allergic reactions. You know, something that promotes overall skin health or boosts my immune system? Any guidance on this would be huge. Thanks!
