Chronic Itching
Natural relief for skin irritation and allergies - without steroids.
- Skin
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.
Common Symptoms

Red, itchy patches
-
Rashes and skin irritation
-
A burning sensation on the skin
-
Dry, itchy skin
-

How We Treat Chronic Itching
Detoxification Therapies
Gentle Panchakarma cleansing to eliminate accumulated toxins, and blood purification therapies to clear the impure blood that causes skin reactions.

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.
