Urticaria (Chronic Hives)

Haridrakhand reduces occurrence of white or red itchy welts. The effect is due to Anti-allergic and Antihistaminic properties of various ingredients in the Haridrakhand.

• If itching is dominant symptom, then Haridrakhand should be given with Arogyavardhini Vati.
• If burning sensation is dominant symptom, then Haridra Khanda should be taken with Gandhak Rasayan and Yashad Bhasma.

In Chronic Hives, treatment duration with Haridra Khanda should be at least six months. Other supportive medicines can be stopped after 3 months or after complete remission of hives.

Atopic Dermatitis (Eczema)

Haridrakhand is reported to be more effective in weeping eczema. The local application of ayurvedic-medicated oils (Nimbadi Thailam) should also be used. It is also beneficial for people who also suffer from hay fever or asthma along with eczema. Haridra Khanda may not alone be effective in eczema, so other medicines should also be used. The local application of ayurvedic oils prepared from bitter herbs also plays a significant role to treat eczema.

Itchy skin (Pruritus)

Itchy skin or pruritus can occur due to other health conditions, so treatment should also be included for underlying cause. Haridrakhand along with Khadirarishta can help relieving itching sensation due to its antipruritic, antihistamine, anti-inflammatory and blood purifier action. It is also beneficial for blisters and rashes occurring due to scratching skin. Local soothing and antipruritic creams or ayurvedic oils should also be used along with Haridra Khanda. For local application, Gandhak Pishti Tail and Kushta Rakshasa Taila are more beneficial
