Eczema

Overview

Eczema is characterized by itching, redness, dryness, and sometimes oozing or thickening with repeated scratching. It may coexist with allergic rhinitis or asthma. Seek medical advice for widespread rash, recurrent infection, or if symptoms affect sleep and daily life.

Ayurvedic Perspective (Supportive)

Classical texts describe eczema-like conditions in relation to doṣa imbalance and accumulation of heat/toxins affecting the skin. Supportive care emphasizes gentle digestion, minimizing aggravating factors, and nourishing the skin barrier— complementary to dermatology care rather than a replacement.

Caution: Avoid unverified topical mixtures on broken skin. Consult a clinician for safe options.

Diet & Lifestyle

• Daily gentle moisturization (especially after bathing); prefer fragrance-free products.
• Choose breathable cotton clothing; avoid rough fabrics and harsh detergents.
• Identify and reduce personal triggers (heat, sweat, allergens, stress); keep nails short.
• Balanced meals; limit ultra-processed foods and excess spice if they worsen flares; maintain adequate hydration.

Some Home Remedies (Comfort)

• Lukewarm baths followed by immediate moisturization (“soak and seal”).
• Cool compresses for itch; mindful stress reduction (breathwork, gentle yoga).

Patch-test any new product; stop if irritation occurs.
