Eczema (atopic dermatitis) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition causing itchy, red, dry patches. At AVK, we treat eczema as an internal imbalance — addressing digestion, blood purity and immune function for lasting relief rather than surface-level suppression.
Intensely itchy, dry skin
Red or inflamed patches
Oozing or crusting in acute phases
Thickened, leathery skin from chronic scratching
Flare-ups triggered by stress, weather or diet
Genetic predisposition and family history

Environmental allergens
Eczema (Vicharchika) is a kapha-pitta disorder where impaired digestion creates ama (toxins) that enter the blood (rakta dhatu) and manifest on the skin. Treatment purifies the blood, strengthens digestion and restores skin health from within.
Every treatment plan is individualised after a thorough consultation. Below is the typical protocol.
Gentle stimulation of marma points associated with digestion and circulation to support internal cleansing and reduce the systemic drive of flare-ups.
Cooling, medicated pastes and oils applied to affected areas — gentle, medicated and never harsh — to soothe inflamed skin and reduce itching.
Internal preparations with Manjistha, Neem, Khadira and other blood-purifying herbs to cleanse rakta dhatu from within.
A 21-day customised elimination diet — the most important intervention for eczema — alongside stress and sleep support.
