Dry skin with flakes

[Guest guest]

Respected Vaidyas,

 

My friend has dry skin all over body, scalp, hands, face etc. It flakes. Can

anyone suggest permanent remedies ? She drinks lots of water, no use.

 

I would be grateful if you help her.

Dry skin occurs due to the decrease in the Rasa Dhatu . Skin is the

Sthan ( place ) of Rasa Dhatu . The decrease in it , will be shown in

the form of dry skin . For that , it is important to increase the Rasa

Dhatu .

It can be done by 2 ways .

1) Either by applying Sesame / Bala oil on the skin externally .

2) Or by eating Buffalo or Cow Ghee & Sesame Oil daily .

 

The use of very hot or very cold water for bath should be avoided .

Thank you Dr. Gandhi for the advise. I must also thank Dr.Surendra for the

same.

 

At this moment I am in Toronto and my friend in Spain. As per normal habit

of women[?] we always exchange our difficulties because we are far away from

Mother Country. No one to guide us.

 

Needless to say she approached many doctors, none of them said it is

Psoriasis. Therefore I feel what you say is correct.....it is a matter of

dry skin.

 

Last year I was in Dubai....in summer climate shot up to 47-49 and in winter

it dropped to 9-10. In winter I went for a long walk in the evening. When I

reached back home, my skin was irritated, even tip of nose was scalded, face

was burning. This was due to harsh climate change. I applied cold cream and

preferred to stay indoor with heater ON [?]

 

Therefore I fully agree with you. My friend tried Jojoba oil, with no

improvement. She doesn't smoke, follows strict diet of leafy vegetables,

fruits etc.

 

I will pass on your advise to her.

 

Thanks again to you.

 

Fondest Regards
