AYURVEDIC TREATMENT
- Expelling the root cause and treating the symptoms precisely.
- Due to an imbalance of tri- doshas namely ‘Vata’ , ‘Pitta’ and ‘Kapha’.
- Imbalanced Vata – makes skin dry and creates itchiness.
- Excess Kapha makes skin ooze out fluids.
- Impurity of ‘Raktha’ – blood, and ‘Rasa’-Plasma
- Ayurveda refers to Eczema as ‘Vichachika’.
