CURING ECZEMA WITH AYURVEDA
Eczema is a form of dermatitis where inflammation of epidermis occurs. The exact cause of eczema is not known. Although it is activated by the immune system and is related to allergic reactions, it is not the same as other allergic reactions. The word eczema comes from the Greek word ekzein meaning “to boil out”; word ekmeans “out”, while zema means boiling. The exact cause of eczema is not known. People with eczema do have the IgE antibodies (immunoglobulin E) produced by the immune system as part of allergic reactions. Eczema can be a difficult and frustrating condition. The psychological challenge faced by the patients of eczema is insurmountable. The natural human desire to scratch an itchy rash just makes the condition worse.
In Ayurveda, the disease is described by the name “Vicharchika.”
Panchkarma Virechana is the best line of management for skin disorders. Controlling eczema more effectively can make a radical improvement to the patient's quality of life.
How we cure Eczema & Dermatitis:
1. Agnideepaka Aushadhi (appetizer):
Oral administration of certain medicines that augments and assists the process of digestion, thus ensuring the optimal state of GIT. The drugs do the Aamapachana. Deepana Pachana Aushadhi not only improves the digestive capacity, also enhance the metabolic activity of the cells.
2. Snehapana (drinking medicated ghee)
Administration of medicated ghee is a prerequisite procedure which is carried for specific period of days. This helps for the exit of the toxins from the body.
3. Sarvang Abhanga (whole body oil massage)
Helps to bring the Doshsa (toxins) from all over body (periphery - Shakha) to the excretory channels (center - Koshtha).This is carried for 3 days after Snehapana.
4. Bashpa Swedana (sudation therapy)
The process of sweating also involves elimination of waste and Dosha (toxins) form the body. These natural functions of sweat are utilized for the therapeutic purposes in Swedana process. Immediately after oil massage, the patient has to undergo sudation therapy by setting in steam chamber until symptoms of proper sweating is present.
5. Virechana (purgation)
In this procedure, the Doshas (toxins) collected in the excretory channels will be expelled out through anal route. Virechana drugs cause irritation and enhance the motility of the intestinal wall along with excessive secretion, which help in smooth and easy expulsion of Doshas (toxins).
6. Samsarjanakrama (post procedure)
In this procedure, strict bland diet was maintained for 3 days for proper bowel functioning.
Eczema patients have features of cellulites with wound. Care is taken by daily dressing with medicated herbal decoction wash.
After panchkarma cleansing, patient is managed only on Ayurvedic treatment modalities.
Ayurvedic medicine formulations like Kayakalp Skin Immunity capsules, Kayakalp ECZE-KALP capsules and creams, Arogyavardhini, Panchtikta ghrit guggulu are used.
Our main aim is to purify the body by removing the Doshas (toxins) and boost the immune system. Thus enabling the patient to live a healthy and peaceful life.
