Eczema Ayurvedic
Is there any cure for eczema?
I have tried allopathy and ayurvedic treatment for the last 6 months. It spread and still itches.
The main cause of eczema is overreaction of the immune system. Identifying certain foods, chemicals, etc can be very helpful in battling this disease. I try to avoid soy and sea food which trigger my flare-ups.
After using number of prescription drugs I've turned to the natural treatments.
Now I use herbal remedies from serenaskin.com, which aims at the root of the disease - the immune system. This treatment controls my eczema very well.
After about 3 weeks of using ointment and spray my skin cleared up and now I just continue with anti-eczema extract, which controls the immune system. My skin has been clear for months now.
I'm very pleased with the results.
AYURVEDIC REMEDIES FOR SKIN CARE
Skin is the seat of a sensory organ. The senses of touch, temperature, pain, and pressure are all felt by our skin.
The first step in the holistic Ayurvedic approach to skin care is finding out your Ayurvedic skin type. In the Ayurvedic system of healing, there are three types of skin:
Vata skin: This type of skin is generally dry, thin, delicate and cool to the touch. It easily gets dehydrated, and is very vulnerable to the influence of dry windy weather. Vata skin may age faster, and tends to be dry, rough and flaky when out of balance.
Eating regular meals and following a regular daily routine are essential components of a holistic approach to Vata skin care
Pitta skin: This type tends to be fair, sensitive, soft, warm, and of medium thickness. Pitta skin types tend to be more prone to freckles and moles than the other skin types. When out of balance, Pitta skin can flare up in rashes, rosacea, acne, or sunspots.
The ayurvedic herb ‘Flame of Forest’ when used in combination with other herbs can help protect Pitta skin from photosensitivity.
Kapha skin: This type tends to be oily, thick, pale, soft, cool and more tolerant of the sun. Kapha skin tends to age slower and form less wrinkles than the other two types. Kapha skin types may struggle with dull complexion, enlarged pores, excessive oil, blackheads, and pimples, moist types of eczema and water retention.
Scrubbing the Kapha skin with gentle exfoliating clay can help cleanse it. Kapha skin types may also need to take herbal formulas to cleanse the skin from within.
Besides following these remedies for your skin type, ayurveda also recommends a good diet including leafy green vegetables; easily digested proteins such as paneer, milk, tofu, sunflower seeds; foods high in zinc such as quinoa; and beta-carotene-rich foods such as carrots and sweet cherries, which act as terrific skin enhancers.
Almonds and walnuts support the skin with their protein and lubricating fat content. Some skin-friendly spices include turmeric to nourish the first four layers of the skin, cumin to rid the body of ama, black pepper to cleanse the channels, and fennel to balance the transformational ability of the skin.
All antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables, such as pomegranate, apple, pear, and bitter, green leafy vegetables are also excellent for the skin.
