To address vaginal dryness and itching effectively, especially considering your age and thyroid condition, Ayurvedic remedies can provide a holistic solution. Incorporating Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus) into your daily routine can be highly beneficial, as it is known for its properties that support women's reproductive health and balance hormones. Additionally, Aloe vera gel can be applied topically to soothe irritation and provide moisture. Triphala can also be beneficial for its gentle detoxifying properties, promoting overall well-being. A diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids—found in flaxseeds and walnuts—can help improve mucosal hydration. Furthermore, maintaining proper hydration by drinking plenty of water and consuming foods rich in antioxidants will support your body's overall health. Consider regular yoga and meditation to reduce stress, which can also affect hormonal balance and vaginal health. Lastly, it's essential to avoid harsh soaps or douches, as they can exacerbate dryness and irritation.

Dealing with vaginal itching, especially with dryness, can be quite uncomfortable. At your age, hormonal changes might be a player here, but let's look at it through the Ayurvedic lens too. In Ayurveda, vaginal itching might relate to a Vata imbalance, particularly if dryness is the main issue.
Cetzine, or any antihistamine, might temporarily soothe the itchiness, but for a more permanent solution, we'll want to get to the root of the problem. Consider incorporating certain changes in your daily routine which might help calm this Vata imbalance.
First, dietary changes can work wonders. Surround your meals with warm, moist, nourishing foods. Think soups or stews. Use spices like cumin, coriander and fennel – these can aid in enhancing your digestive fire (agni), supporting overall balance. Healthy fats, like ghee and sesame oil, incorporated into meals can help with lubrication on a deeper tissue level.
Staying hydrated is another simple yet powerful change, but avoid icy drinks; room temperature is best.
Regularly applying sesame oil externally might help with the dryness too. Warm a small amount of sesame oil then gently massage it around the vaginal area. Doing this in the evening before bed can be soothing.
Lifestyle wise, stress reduction's crucial. Stress often throws Vata way off-balance, contributing to more dryness. Practices like yoga, pranayama, or even a simple daily walk can be quite grounding.
If your symptoms persist or worsen, I strongly advise consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner in person, or a gynecologist, just to make sure there's not an underlying condition that needs direct medical attention. While Ayurveda offers great insights, certain issues may need to be addressed with more immediacy from a medical standpoint. We always want safety first!
