Eczema

Eczema is a skin condition that causes dry, itchy skin and rashes on various parts of the body like the face, elbows, knees, hands and feet. The skin swells up and may turn red due to scratching. The skin’s barrier is damaged making the skin more sensitive to infection and dryness. People with eczema are also at the risk of developing hay fever and asthma. A trigger from outside or inside the body induces the immune system to produce inflammation and symptoms of eczema.

Ayurveda for Eczema

Eczema or Vicharchika is believed to be caused due to faulty diet and lifestyle in Ayurveda. Due to this, digestion is impaired and Pitta Dosha (Ayurvedic humor representing Fire) is aggravated. This causes accumulation of heating toxins in the body tissues that are manifested as eczema. In ayurveda, the treatment plan for eczema is aimed at enhancing the body’s digestion and cleansing the body of accumulated toxins. A treatment plan is developed that contains an individualized diet plan and specialized natural herbal medication. The treatment has been proven to pacify pitta and cure the disease from its roots to prevent recurrence.
