Dyshidrotic Eczema: Specialized and Customized Ayurvedic Approaches with Ahara Vihara

At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

🩺 Introduction

Dyshidrotic eczema, referred to in Ayurveda as Vicharchika, is a skin disorder characterized by small, itchy blisters on the hands and feet, often accompanied by redness, oozing, and discomfort. At Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital, we offer specialized and customized Ayurvedic management, with a strong focus on Ahara (diet) and Vihara (lifestyle) to address the root cause and provide sustainable relief.

🔬 Understanding Dyshidrotic Eczema

This condition presents as:

  • Clusters of fluid-filled blisters on palms and soles

  • Intense itching and burning sensation

  • Possible oozing, cracking, or drying of skin

  • Episodes may be chronic or recurrent, often triggered by stress, allergens, or climate

🌿 Ayurvedic Perspective on Vicharchika

According to Ayurveda, Vicharchika is primarily due to imbalances in:

🔥 Pitta Dosha

  • Causes inflammation, burning, and redness

💧 Kapha Dosha

  • Leads to oozing, fluid retention, and thickened skin

🩸 Rakta Dushti

  • Impaired blood tissue increases susceptibility to skin eruptions and chronicity

⚠️ Ama Accumulation

  • Toxin buildup contributes to immune dysfunction and flare-ups

🔍 Signs and Symptoms

  • Small, itchy vesicles on palms, fingers, soles

  • Redness and swelling

  • Scaling and dry, cracked skin

  • Burning sensation or painful blisters

  • Fluid oozing from ruptured blisters
