Hello my mom is in her 70s had a stroke ( bleed left side of brain) 13 years ago. She is bed bound she is diabetic ( controlled) ... she recently had a divas infection that was all over her body and recently diagnosed with a auto immune of Pemiphgold. She has blister on her body. She has started prednison, I’m hoping you can offer some guidance or Ayurvedic for her skin? Thank you.
Dear Writer, I'm sorry to hear about your mom who must be in a lot of discomfort. Are the blisters appearing mostly on the abdomen, arms, and legs? Does she also have blisters in mouth? Was she diagnosed with bullous pemphigoid? Often blisters are fluid-filled, and sometimes there is intense itching as well. Western medicine considers this to be a malfuntion of the immune system, while Ayurveda's perspective is that there is accumulation of aama (toxins) that are erupting through the skin. Thus we work on purifying the blood which results in the skin returning back to normal, and permanently, as long as the person adheres to certain dietary guidelines (so aama doesn't accumulate again). Medicinal herbs such as neem and manjistha are very effective when taken in a formula with supporting herbs. Prednisone is just a temporary band-aid and is a risky approach for long term treatment. I'm happy to help your Mom in whatever way I can to relieve her discomfort.
wow thank you!
nothing in her mouth- first started out as fungus then blisters. Her nurse practitioner diagnosed her with pemhigild( sp) . can we do a telehealth with you? She is bed bound ( suffered massive stroke 13 years ago) she is cognitive and aware .
