Eczema

What is eczema?

It is a infection.

Causes

  • Changes in temperature and humidity.
  • Chemical irritants such as – pesticides, astringents, perfumes, harsh soaps, detergents and household cleaners.
  • Allergies to dust, pollen, etc.

Symptoms

Bleeding on skin surface.  Pus or other discharges, itchiness.

Remedy (Nuskhe)

  • Rub a nutmeg (jaiphal) against a smooth stone slab with a little water and make a paste.  Apply on affected parts.  (Note:  It is believed by some rural, old practitioners that instead of water, one's own early morning saliva can be used for better results.)
  • Add 1 teaspoon camphor (kapoor) to 1 teaspoon sandalwood paste and apply on the affected parts.
  • Grind potatoes to a fine powder and thoroughly mix lemon juice into it and apply it to eczema, itches, etc.
  • Mix a paste of turmeric (haldi) and neem leaves (1:1) in a little gingelly oil (til ka tel) apply on affected areas.
  • Take ¼ cup juice extracted out of the leaves of bitter gourd (karela) plant, 2 tablespoons coconut oil (naarial ka tel), ½ cup neem leaves and grind all these together.  Apply it to the parts affected by eczema, itches, etc., and they will be cured if you continue this treatment regularly for few days.
  • Eczema can be cured by regularly eating the kernel out of the seeds of melon (kharbooje ki giri) or even by regularly eating the melon fruit.
