Eczema

Eczema, or Vicharchika in Ayurveda, is a chronic skin condition marked by itching, redness, inflammation, and oozing. Ayurveda attributes eczema to an imbalance in Pitta and Kapha doshas, along with impaired digestion (Agni) that leads to toxin accumulation (Ama). Treatment begins with internal purification through Panchakarma, especially Virechana (therapeutic purgation), followed by external applications like medicated oils and herbal pastes to nourish and heal the skin. Specific herbal medicines are prescribed to detoxify the blood, reduce inflammation, and restore skin health. Customised diets and lifestyle adjustments further support long-term management and prevent recurrences, offering a comprehensive healing approach.
