Durvadi Ghrita - #7338
For the last six months, I’ve been dealing with severe eczema and constant skin irritation, especially on my arms and legs. I’ve tried everything from medicated creams to antihistamines, but nothing has provided lasting relief. Recently, my Ayurvedic doctor suggested Durvadi Ghrita, which is a medicated ghee prepared using Durva grass and other cooling herbs. He explained that Durvadi Ghrita is very effective in soothing inflammatory skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and rashes. I had never heard about Durvadi Ghrita before, so I started researching, and it turns out that it works both internally and externally to reduce heat and inflammation in the body. Internally, it pacifies Pitta dosha, which is usually the root cause of skin conditions, and externally, it moisturizes and heals damaged skin. My question is: how do I use Durvadi Ghrita effectively for eczema? Should I take it orally every day, or can it be applied directly to the affected areas? If you’ve used Durvadi Ghrita for eczema or other skin problems, how long did it take to see noticeable results? Another thing I’m worried about is the greasiness of ghee when applied to the skin. Does Durvadi Ghrita get absorbed easily, or will it make the skin feel sticky? Also, I read that along with external application, diet plays a big role in managing eczema. My doctor advised me to avoid spicy, fried, and sour foods, as they aggravate Pitta dosha. Has anyone tried this combination of Durvadi Ghrita and dietary changes for eczema or psoriasis? If anyone here has used Durvadi Ghrita, please share your experience. Did it help with reducing itching and inflammation? Were there any side effects, or is it completely safe for long-term use? I’m really hoping this can give me some relief from the constant discomfort and skin damage.
