Ayurvedic Medicine For Chicken Pox - #7783
My niece has recently been diagnosed with chickenpox, and while she’s being treated with conventional medicine, I’d like to explore Ayurvedic medicine for chickenpox to help her recover faster and soothe her symptoms. From what I’ve read, Ayurveda considers chickenpox to be caused by an imbalance in pitta and kapha doshas, leading to fever, itching, and rashes. Are there specific Ayurvedic remedies that can alleviate these symptoms, such as herbal formulations to reduce fever or topical applications to relieve itching? I’ve come across herbs like neem, turmeric, and sandalwood—how effective are these for chickenpox? Another question is about boosting immunity during and after the illness. Does Ayurveda recommend specific rasayanas or tonics to strengthen the body and prevent complications? Are there Ayurvedic remedies that can help heal scars left by chickenpox rashes? What role does diet play in Ayurvedic medicine for chickenpox? Should spicy, oily, or acidic foods be avoided, and are there particular foods or drinks that can cool the body and promote healing? Lastly, how long does it typically take for Ayurvedic medicine to show results, and are there any precautions or contraindications to keep in mind? If anyone has experience using Ayurveda for chickenpox recovery, I’d love to hear what worked for you and whether it made the recovery process smoother.
