6 Amazing Ayurvedic Remedies To Cure Eczema
Eczema - a medical condition in which skin of the diseased person becomes red, irritated, itchy and dry. Also known as dermatitis, it is mainly common among children below the age of 5.
In the case of kids, eczema rashes start appearing on the face, progressing to hands, feet and scalp, whereas in the case of adults, the rashes mostly show up on the knees and elbows.
Some causes of Eczema could be genetic conditions; it is more prone in the families who have had a history of asthma. Other causes include deficiency of vitamin B6, irregular blood circulation etc.
Weather conditions like extreme heat, change in the temperature, stress, etc, could also act a trigger for the condition.
Those who are already suffering from this condition, or certain harsh chemicals, smoking and detergents could further aggravate this situation.
In Ayurveda , Eczema is referred as "Vicharika", which is caused by the reduction in the effectiveness of the doshas – Kapha, Vata and Pitta.
