Guest guest Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 hi jyoti a strict avoidance of dairy, sugar and flour, as well as deep-fried and spicy-tasting foods - go for cooling foods, e.g. fruits, vegetables, rice/dahl etc. as was mentioned, consider omega-3 fatty acids, around 1000 gm of EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) daily - EFA deficiencies are very common causes of atopic states in your area you'll find great herbs like barberry root, yellowdock root, burdock root, and dandelion root to clear the heat out of your system - you might pick 2 of these and combine them with triphala and fiber-rich foods (e.g. flax/hemp seed) to ensure regular BMs as mentioned in your case you will also want to support your nervous system to keep wind (vata) in check, so consider cooling nervine herbs like catmint, passionflower, nettle, milky oats and reishi; as well as meditation and lunar pranayama topically, you might try applying a little pure ghee or extra virgin coconut oil over the lesions and see if it helps best... todd caldecott Caldecott todd www.toddcaldecott.com On 27-Jul-05, at 4:22 AM, ayurveda wrote: > supervixen08 <supervixen08 wrote: > I have a very severe case of eczema, and it only > seems to be spreading.
