Ayurvedic Treatment For Ichthyosis Vulgaris - #7859
My 10-year-old son has been dealing with ichthyosis vulgaris since he was a baby. His skin is always dry and scaly, especially on his arms and legs, and it gets worse during the colder months. We’ve tried countless moisturizers and creams, but they only provide temporary relief. I’ve read a little about Ayurvedic treatment for ichthyosis vulgaris, and it sounds promising because it focuses on treating the root cause rather than just the symptoms. Is there an Ayurvedic treatment for ichthyosis vulgaris that’s safe for kids? We’re open to trying herbal remedies or oils if they’re effective. I’ve heard that some Ayurvedic practitioners recommend a combination of internal medicines and external applications for ichthyosis vulgaris. Does this work better than just applying creams? One thing I’ve noticed is that when he eats spicy or oily foods, the scaling seems to worsen. Does Ayurvedic treatment for ichthyosis vulgaris also include dietary changes? If yes, what foods should we avoid or include? Lastly, if anyone here has personally tried Ayurvedic treatment for ichthyosis vulgaris, how long did it take to see results? My son’s condition sometimes affects his confidence at school, so we’re really hoping to find a solution that lasts.
