Eczema

Steroid-Free, Root-Cause Healing at Sparsh Garbha Sanskar & Ayurved Centre

Eczema is not merely a skin disorder. It is a chronic inflammatory condition rooted in internal imbalance involving digestion, immunity, blood purity, stress response, and lifestyle errors.

At Sparsh Garbha Sanskar & Ayurved Centre, eczema is treated through classical Ayurvedic protocols that aim for long-term remission rather than temporary suppression.

This approach is especially suitable for individuals seeking steroid-free eczema treatment, those with chronic or recurrent eczema, and patients who have not achieved lasting relief with topical applications alone.

What Is Eczema According to Ayurveda?

In Ayurveda, eczema is primarily described as Vicharchika, a type of Kushtha (skin disorder).

It arises when internal toxins and dosha imbalances circulate through the blood and manifest on the skin.

Unlike modern symptom-based management, Ayurveda views eczema as a systemic disorder.

From a doshic perspective, eczema commonly involves:

  • Pitta aggravation leading to redness, inflammation, burning, and oozing

  • Vata imbalance causing dryness, cracking, thickening, and scaling

  • Rakta Dushti, or blood impurity, sustaining chronic inflammation

  • Agni Mandya (weak digestion), allowing toxin accumulation

  • Manas Hetu, where stress and emotional suppression worsen flare-ups

This understanding forms the foundation of Ayurvedic eczema treatment.

Common Symptoms of Eczema

Eczema symptoms vary based on constitution, age, and chronicity. While presentation differs, most patients experience a combination of inflammatory and dryness-related features.

Commonly observed symptoms include:

  • Persistent itching, often worsening at night

  • Dry, rough, or scaly skin

  • Redness, heat, and inflammation

  • Oozing or crust formation during acute flare-ups

  • Thickened skin in long-standing cases

  • Stress, climate, food, or detergent-triggered relapses

  • Sleep disturbance due to itching

Root Causes of Eczema (Ayurvedic + Modern View)

Eczema does not develop overnight. It is the outcome of long-term internal imbalance. Ayurveda and modern science both recognise the role of immunity, gut health, and inflammation in eczema.

Key contributing factors include:

  • Gut–skin axis disruption and toxin buildup (Aama)

  • Immune dysregulation and inflammatory cytokine activity

  • Liver overload affecting detox pathways

  • Incompatible food combinations and irregular eating habits

  • Chronic stress, anxiety, and poor sleep

  • Genetic and epigenetic susceptibility (Beej Dushti)

  • Repeated use of steroids causing rebound flare-ups

Unless these causes are corrected, eczema tends to recur.

Ayurvedic Diagnosis at Sparsh Garbha Sanskar

Accurate diagnosis is essential for long-term eczema control. At Sparsh, treatment begins only after a detailed Ayurvedic assessment that looks beyond the skin surface.

Evaluation includes:

  • Prakriti (body constitution) analysis

  • Vata–Pitta–Kapha imbalance assessment

  • Digestive strength and toxin load evaluation

  • Blood and liver heat assessment

  • Stress, sleep, and emotional pattern review

  • Identification of dietary and lifestyle triggers

  • Classification of eczema as acute, chronic, stress-induced, or steroid-dependent

This ensures a fully personalised eczema treatment plan.

Ayurvedic Treatment for Eczema at Sparsh

Panchakarma Detox for Chronic Eczema

Panchakarma is used when eczema is deep-rooted, recurrent, or steroid-dependent. It helps remove toxins, reset immune response, and reduce inflammatory load from the system.

Based on individual assessment, therapies may include:

  • Virechan for Pitta and blood purification

  • Raktamokshan in selected chronic inflammatory cases

  • Basti therapy to correct Vata imbalance and nourish skin tissues

  • Takradhara or Shirodhara for stress-related eczema

  • Nasya for neuro-immune and hormonal regulation

Therapies are never standardised and are prescribed only when indicated.

Internal Ayurvedic Medicines

Internal medicines play a crucial role in correcting the disease process rather than masking symptoms. Formulations are selected based on constitution, gut health, and disease stage.

Commonly used therapeutic categories include:

  • Blood-purifying herbs such as Manjishta, Neem, Patol, and Khadir

  • Immune-modulating herbs like Guduchi and Amalaki

  • Digestive and detox-supporting combinations including Triphala

  • Rasayana medicines for skin nourishment and recurrence prevention

  • Ghee-based preparations to counter dryness and tissue depletion

All medicines are personalised, non-habit forming, and steroid-free.

Ayurvedic Diet for Eczema Healing

Diet is one of the most important factors in eczema recovery. Incorrect food choices repeatedly trigger flare-ups even when medicines are taken.

Foods commonly advised to avoid include:

  • Fermented, sour, and bakery items

  • Refined sugar and packaged foods

  • Milk combined with salty or sour items

  • Fried, very spicy, or reheated food

  • Night curd and cold drinks

Foods commonly recommended include:

  • Warm, freshly prepared meals

  • Moong dal and light khichdi

  • Cooked vegetables suitable to constitution

  • Cow ghee in moderation to reduce dryness

  • Daytime buttermilk when digestion permits

  • Adequate hydration with warm water

Diet plans are seasonal and constitution-specific.

Stress, Sleep, and Lifestyle Correction

Eczema is highly sensitive to mental and emotional stress. Without correcting stress patterns, long-term control is difficult.

Lifestyle guidance focuses on:

  • Breathing techniques and pranayama

  • Sleep cycle stabilisation

  • Emotional counselling when required

  • Mind-calming therapies such as Shirodhara

  • Practical daily routines that support skin healing

This layer significantly reduces flare frequency.

Long-Term Recurrence Prevention

The goal of treatment at Sparsh is remission, not dependency. Patients are guided through a structured prevention plan.

This includes:

  • Identification and elimination of personal triggers

  • Seasonal care protocols

  • Gut-strengthening routines

  • Rasayana support for immunity

  • Periodic follow-ups to refine treatment
