Eczema Treatment in Ayurveda

Holistic Ayurvedic Care for Chronic Skin Inflammation & Itching

At Sukrutham Ayurveda Chikilsalayam, we provide a comprehensive Ayurvedic approach to managing Eczema, focusing on correcting internal imbalances, calming skin inflammation, and preventing recurrence. Our treatment emphasizes long-term skin health rather than temporary external relief.

About Eczema

Eczema is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by itching, redness, dryness, and recurrent flare-ups. It may affect any age group and often worsens with stress, dietary triggers, or environmental factors.

In Ayurveda, eczema is correlated with Vicharchika, a disorder involving imbalance of Pitta and Kapha dosha, along with impurity of blood (Rakta Dushti).

Common Symptoms of Eczema

• Persistent itching
• Red, inflamed, or darkened skin patches
• Dry, cracked, or scaly skin
• Oozing or crusting in some cases
• Thickened skin due to chronic scratching
• Burning or irritation sensation
• Recurrent flare-ups

Ayurvedic Understanding of Eczema

According to Ayurveda, eczema develops due to accumulation of toxins (Ama) and imbalance of doshas affecting the skin and blood tissues.

Key Contributing Factors:

• Excessive heat and inflammation (Pitta imbalance)
• Sticky secretions and poor metabolism (Kapha imbalance)
• Improper diet (spicy, sour, oily, processed foods)
• Stress and emotional imbalance
• Weak digestion (Agni Mandya)

Treatment focuses on detoxification, blood purification, and restoring skin balance.
