About Dr. Abrol

Chronic itching (Kandu) is not arbitrary in Ayurveda - it results directly from an imbalance of the three doshas and the accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the body. Whether it manifests as dry itchy skin, burning, or chronic irritation, Ayurveda treats the underlying imbalance rather than only the symptom, without relying on topical steroid creams.

External Therapies

Herbal medicated oils massaged gently into the skin to calm irritation and reduce dryness; medicated herbal paste (Lepa) applied for an immediate cooling effect; herbal steam therapy to open channels and improve circulation.

Internal Herbal Medicines

Neem and Turmeric (purification and anti-inflammatory action), Aloe Vera (cooling and soothing for burns/irritation), Triphala (blood purification and gut health), and Sandalwood (cools the body and reduces redness).

Diet & Home Care

Cooling, light foods such as bottle gourd, cucumber, ash gourd, pomegranate, and coconut water; avoiding spicy, oily, fried, and fermented foods; a detoxifying neem-water bath, coconut oil massage for dryness, and aloe vera gel for burning skin.

Is This Right For You?

Who Is This For?

  • Imbalanced Kapha - thick, moist, sticky, itching skin linked to fungal infection or allergic rash
  • Imbalanced Vata - dry, flaky, rough skin with persistent itching
  • Accumulation of toxins (Ama) from poor digestion, reabsorbed into the bloodstream and triggering skin reactions
