Eczema is a medical condition that causes skin irritation or inflammation, with the most common type being atopic dermatitis. Often associated with allergies like hay fever or asthma, eczema primarily affects children. About 3% of adults also experience it, though most children outgrow the condition by age 10. In some cases, symptoms may recur throughout life.
Effective management of eczema involves proper treatment. Ayurveda offers a holistic approach using natural elements like fire, air, water, space, and earth. Treatment includes dietary adjustments, herbal remedies, and massages with special herbal oils. An experienced Ayurvedic doctor assesses your body type and prescribes personalized remedies. While mild eczema can be treated quickly, chronic or systemic cases may take longer. Adhering to Ayurvedic guidance can help achieve lasting relief, potentially preventing future flare-ups. Follow your Ayurvedic doctor’s advice closely for optimal results.
