Redirect ama to different expulsion

[Guest guest]

My ecema drove me distracted (itching) to the point of

going to an allopathic doctor. An ayurvedic doctor said

it was pitta and I surmise that this was the Ama coming

out. My question is, when the form of the Ama coming out is

very unpleasant, is it workable to drive it back in the body

with allopathic medicine then apply ayurvedic measures, perhnaps pancha

karma, to expel the Ama through

the bowels?

NO! Although Ayurveda states that this ama, it is in fact a shadow of ama, an

indication that ama is there. Hydrocortisone doesn't drive it deeper, it simply

supresses the knowledge there is some kind of dysfunction, i.e. the eczema is

your body's way of telling you that you have ama. So, treat the ama by making

the correct dietary shifts (no dairy, flour, sugar), promote elimination (via

kidneys and liver) and enhance agni. In the meantime a mediated ghee made with

barberry can be helpful when applied topcially, as will the omega 3 fats I've

already discussed in previous posts. Internally Bhringaraj, Guduchi,

Daruharidra (Barberry), Haridra (Turmeric) or Yellowdock with a little Ginger

will help greatly, over a period of weeks.
