I am breastfeeding mom. My baby is 4 month old.
I have an itching problem after my c sec delivery . Earlier the itching was in the private parts, now it has started occurring in the whole body. The itching in the genitals is like a fungal infection. I applied neem oil which gave me relief but as soon as I stop applying it, it starts again.
I consulted an Ayurvedic doctor. He prescribed me this medicine
Baidyanath raktashodhak tablet(2-2)
kaishore guggulu (2-2)
haridra khand and avipattikar churn. (Mix 1 spoon
morning evening),
I am afraid to take medicine because my child is still small and is breastfed. I am very worried. I want quick relief from my itching problems. Please tell me if I can take these medicines.Or any other medicine which can give me relief, I have already bought these medicines.please advice me 🙏🏻

our postpartum itching, especially in private parts and spreading to the whole body, suggests Pitta-Kapha imbalance with possible Ama (toxins) accumulation and fungal overgrowth. Since you are a breastfeeding mother, Ayurvedic medicines should be chosen carefully to ensure safety for your baby.
Can You Take These Medicines While Breastfeeding?
â Baidyanath Raktashodhak Tablet â Safe; helps purify blood and reduce skin irritation.
â Kaishore Guggulu â Safe; anti-inflammatory and detoxifying.
â Haridra Khand â Safe; supports skin healing and reduces itching.
â Avipattikar Churna â Generally safe but may cause loose stools in your baby (through breast milk). If this happens, reduce the dose or skip it.
Additional Ayurvedic Remedies for Quick Relief:
1ï¸â£ Neem Oil & Coconut Oil Mix â Continue applying to the affected areas. You can also mix camphor in coconut oil for extra relief.
2ï¸â£ Bath with Neem & Triphala Decoction â Boil neem leaves and Triphala powder in water, cool, and use as bath water.
3ï¸â£ Aloe Vera Gel & Turmeric Paste â Apply locally to soothe irritation.
Diet & Lifestyle Recommendations:

Wear loose, cotton clothing to prevent further irritation.

You can safely take the prescribed medicines while continuing external treatments for faster relief. Follow this for 2-3 weeks and consult again if symptoms persist.
