AYURVEDA PERSPECTIVE ON ECZEMA
Eczema is skin inflammation caused by hypersensitivity to allergens & irritants (atopy).
Dry eczema tends to increase during winter months when the skin is very dry due to cold.
Although eczema is a sign of Pitta aggravation it may be caused by Vata as well (Vata pushing Pitta). Let's examine both Pitta and Vata type eczema.
Pitta Type Eczema
High Pitta aggravates the Liver, and disturbs the liver's detox and regulating functions. This leads to immune hypersensitivity.
According to Ayurveda, skin pathology is generally associated with the liver.
Vata Type Eczema
Sometimes dryness and deficiency cause inflammation (Vata pushing Pitta).
Vata individuals may have a deficient liver. Deficiency in the liver aggravates Pitta, which leads to Eczema as described above.
Similarly, dry skin becomes irritated and inflamed, which exposes the skin to allergens.
Finally, mutation can corrupt collagen synthesis that make the skin more permeable, causing exposure to allergens.
Kapha Eczema?
Eczema can be wet or dry. The difference is that wet eczema oozes a fluid.
Kapha individuals are generally not hypersensitive. But those who have wet eczema are more likely to have more Kapha than dry eczema individuals, but the cause is not Kapha.
Comparison of Eczema & Psoriasis
- Both: Dry heat with high Pitta
- Eczema
- Associated with allergens, aggravated immune system
- Low toxin (ama), low correlation with Liver issues
- Psoriasis
- High bitterness, toxin levels, correlation with Liver issues
- Low correlation with allergies

HOW TO ADDRESS ISSUES IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3
ECZEMA IS IN STAGE OF DISEASE #3 -
ATTACKING TISSUEIf you have symptoms in this category it means that your imbalances are becoming stronger and weakening your body's resistance.
Most people have a weakness in one or more organs.
These areas of weakness are the 'weak link in the chain.'
They are first to succumb when an imbalance reaches a tipping point.
Repairing imbalances in this category often represent your last opportunity to prevent disease.
At any moment, these imbalances could overwhelm weakened tissue and develop into a disease.
You may feel pain or discomfort in the weakened area.
At this stage you will need to support the weakened tissue with specialized foods and herbs for the weakened tissue.

HOW AYURVEDA WORKS
ARE YOU WONDERING HOW AYURVEDA CAN HELP YOU?
WHY IS AYURVEDA THE RIGHT SOLUTION?
Ayurveda strengthens the body while opposing disorders. It takes a holistic,
systemic approach that looks at the whole body. Ayurveda
shows how to interpret signs and symptoms of imbalance, and how to address them
using diet, lifestyle adjustments, and herbs. It shows a person how to optimize their health on a continual basis. You can't
take the doctor home with you, but you can take Ayurveda home with you.
Ayurveda is the most advanced and easy to use home system for self healing.
HOW DOES AYURVEDA WORK?
Ayurveda starts by identifying your
body type,
which identifies certain tendencies in your body to get sick (as well as identifying your strengths).
It uses body type to determine the likely root causes of your disorders.
Next, Ayurveda analyzes the nature of your disorder.
It fits all your signs and symptoms into a pattern, expressed as a combination of
biocharacteristics (gunas).
For example, you may have a heat disorder, a cold disorder, or an oily disorder, etc.
This simple categorical approach shows you how to correct systemic imbalances and strengthen your body as a whole.
On Joyful Belly, we've created an extensive categorization of food so you can easily match food to your imbalanced biocharacteristics.
By eating an optimal diet that balances your biocharacteristics, your whole body is strengthened
and the conditions that created the disorder are removed. Once the root causes of the disease
are removed, the disease lessens in strength or disappears altogether. Additional remedies -
such as herbs and lifestyle practices - focused on the specific disorder, can greatly enhance
your healing.
GET STARTED
To get started on your Ayurvedic journey, we first recommend that your find your body
type by taking our free quiz. In Ayurveda, every solution is based on your unique body type, so
by taking this quiz, you’ll get the best results.
