PUPPP - #7489
I’m currently in my third trimester of pregnancy and have developed a severe, itchy rash that my doctor identified as PUPPP (Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy). While my doctor suggested topical treatments and antihistamines, I’m curious about Ayurvedic remedies for PUPPP to manage the itching and discomfort naturally. From what I’ve read, Ayurveda associates PUPPP with an imbalance in pitta dosha, leading to inflammation and heat in the skin. Are there specific herbal remedies or oils, such as neem, aloe vera, or sandalwood, that can soothe the rash and reduce itching? Can these be safely used during pregnancy without harming the baby? I’m also interested in dietary recommendations for managing PUPPP. Should I focus on cooling foods like cucumbers, coconut water, and ghee to balance pitta, and avoid spicy or fried foods that could worsen the condition? Another question I have is about external treatments. Are there Ayurvedic pastes or baths, such as those made with turmeric or chickpea flour, that can be applied directly to the rash for relief? If anyone here has experienced PUPPP during pregnancy and used Ayurvedic remedies, I’d love to know what worked for you. Did the treatments provide lasting relief, and were there any precautions or challenges you faced while using them?
