In the vibrant world of childhood, where a child’s skin is as delicate as their dreams, a little trouble can turn into a difficult situation ahead. Although every rash or scar brushes off with age, what if these rashes start to cause itching, redness, or pain? From the persistent itch of eczema to a contagious psoriasis or any genetic skin disorder, it causes discomfort and concern. They not only affect the skin or appearance, they affect a child's happiness in daily life. Still, millions of children worldwide suffer in silence where the conditions remain misunderstood or undiagnosed. If diagnosed timely, the course of treatment becomes difficult as Western medications are hard and cannot be prescribed to children. In this situation, awareness, early intervention, compassionate care, and seeking timely treatment make a world of difference in shaping a healthy future for kids.
According to Dr. Mukesh Sharda, an Ayurvedic expert and CEO of Dr.
Sharda Ayurveda, “An Ayurvedic treatment for skin diseases is best for children, as it is safe and free from side effects. Parents get into a dilemma about how an Ayurvedic treatment improved their child’s skin condition when no other treatment worked. They also wonder how Ayurvedic treatment fasten the recovery process, which was difficult earlier. This is the ultimate power of Ayurveda.”
Tips shared by Dr. Mukesh Sharda
According to the doctor, skin infections have started attacking the children of a minimal age, i.e., below 5 years, to even a few months. In India, Canada, and other countries, it has become very common. She also noticed and addressed that in the US, children below the age of 6 years suffer from chronic skin diseases such as severe itching, rashes, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, fungal infection skin, etc.
A major factor, lifestyle and diet, stands behind this condition; otherwise, in the past, these problems were seen to develop at the age of 20-22 years or later. It also becomes a difficult task as Western medications have numerous side effects. Ayurveda is the ultimate option in this situation as it is safe and nature-based. With proper management of the disease, Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to stop the recurrence of skin problems. Here are some tips suggested by Dr. Mukesh Sharda-
- Hygiene stands as the first important factor to keep in mind. Maintaining proper hygiene in the surroundings of children is the first step towards recovery.
- In skin disease, avoid using shampoo, soap, or moisturizer. Instead, use curd or multani mitti (fuller's earth) for bathing a baby. Also, sun-dried green gram lentils can be an ideal option rather than chemical-based products. You can prepare by sun-drying the lentils, grinding them into powder, and storing them in a jar. Further, for usage, mix it with water to form a paste and apply to the child’s skin. It acts as a great moisturizer.
- Non-vegetarian, processed, or junk food should be highly restricted for children. They not only disturb the gut health but also contribute to worsening these skin infections. Infants must be strictly limited to mother feeding, and toddlers to healthy food to boost immunity.
- Toddlers can be fed with fruits, soup, salad, and soaked dry fruits to fulfill the nutritional and other component requirements.
