Why Choosing Ayurvedic Treatment For Eczema Is The Best Decision For Your Skin?
Eczema is the collective term used for various afflictions that cause skin inflammation. The most common one among these afflictions is atopic dermatitis. Ayurveda describes this disease as “Vicharchika” which is characterized by dark coloured skin, rashes, bumps accompanied by discharge, constant dryness and itching. It is believed to be a result of vitiated “vata” and “kapha” dosha that cause problems related to blood tissues, stomach, and the skin.
However, the duration of eczema ayurvedic treatment depends on its active history with the patient. If someone is passing through the first episode of eczema then the given treatment may be quite effective within a few days. Allopathic treatment of this disease includes high doses of steroids and antihistamines.
They may work initially but if administered for a long time, they show severe side-effects with growing resistance of eczema bumps to these medicines. Chronic eczema, for example, is not that easy to cure. It doesn’t matter if someone is passing through its first or tenth episode, it will take time and multiple rounds of medication for treatment.
So, the question that comes into view is if it is safe to administer steroids for such a long time to a body. And should it be followed when a chemical-free approach with guaranteed results is already available?
Eczema Ayurvedic Treatment offers a natural and permanent way out of this problem. One of the key advantages of this treatment is that its medicines are mostly herbal in nature which doesn’t let them leave any serious side effects on the patient.
To simplify the condition, Ayurvedic practitioners divide this problem into categories: dry and wet eczema. So, if the patient is suffering from dry, red, and itchy bumps and cracked skin kind of eczema, he or she has dry eczema. And if there is any kind of discharge from the bump or rash, it is known as wet eczema.
When the doctor sits for diagnosis of this problem, they try to look at it from all the aspects. It is for this reason, the patient goes through a long questionnaire on personal habits, behavioural traits, professional limitations, stresses, emotional history and so on.
The doctor makes a detailed study of the constitutional framework of the patient and then decides the most suitable combination of therapies, medicines, and lifestyle changes to cure the given problem.
The primary focus of eczema ayurvedic treatment is on the elimination of the root cause of the problem and provide long-term relief to the patient. A stressful lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits, and professional pressures are some of the key reasons for the accumulation of disease-causing toxins in the body.
When these toxins start reacting with blood and other parts of the body, they increase the level of impurities in the body which then leads to the outbreak of many infections and problems like eczema. So, the first part of Ayurvedic treatment deals with detoxification of the human body.
The detoxification is carried out through Panchakarma therapies like medicated enemas, body massages, steam baths, application of herbs and mud all over the body, Nasya, and so on. These therapies are done in the form of sessions to ensure step by step purification of the patient’s body. Most patients find relief within the initial sessions of these therapies.
Alongside, the patient is required to stick to a simple lifestyle and diet chart that helps in increasing the effectiveness of the detoxification process and ensure long-term relief from the problem. Diet and lifestyle modifications are mandatory for all people undertaking Ayurvedic treatment.
The blood-based impurities are treated through a process called bloodletting where syringes or leeches are used to suck the blood from a vein near the affected part. Bloodletting is carried out during all phases of eczema and most patients including those suffering from chronic eczema respond well to this therapy.
Induced vomiting and purgation are the other two processes that are carried out when the disease reaches an advanced or chronic stage. The basic aim of this treatment is to normalize the blood and skin tissues and remove the toxins that were interfering with their natural composition and procedures.
