Skin allergies in summer

Skin allergies in summer is a common difficulty in hot and dry countries like India and parts of asia etc. Usually the rashes starts with itching with dark red to cherry red in colour and spreads to other parts of the body. Usually it starts in ankles, back, waists, thighs and head. (High muscular areas)

The basic management Ayurveda explains is
1. Mild purification therapy - Intake of 10 gm - 25 gm of Triphala choornam / Avipathi choornam creats a cleanliness which reduces the onset and bout of itching.
2. External applications like Eladi coconut oil, Eladi Thailam, Nal -pamradi oil or simple application of Gingely/ coconut oil as regular prevents the condition.
