well, khadira is useful to skin disorders but for what type of skin disorders and whether we can add little honey for kashayam?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
It is used in the treatment of leucoderma, psoriasis, allergic dermatitis etc In cases of skin diseases with itching and oozing, you can add a little honey to kashayam, before consumption.

Sir, I heard from Allopathic doctors that surgery is the only possible way to remove Sebaceous cyst or Epidermoid cyst. But I do not compromise with them because if one medicinal system does not have cure then some other may have the cure for a disease. Please advise me whether there is any medicines available in Ayurveda to cure Sebaceous cyst. Also please let me know whether there is any external medicines like oil or herbs available to cure the pus producing cyst completely. Please help.

Try these simple, but effective methods:
• Use your fingers or a cotton swab to apply 5 – 10 drops of unrefined coconut oil to the affected area before going to sleep. Leave overnight and rinse in the morning. Repeat regularly until results are visible.
• Squeeze the gel from a fresh aloe vera leaf or simply use aloe vera juice. Apply to the affected area and gently massage for 2 – 3 minutes. Leave for 3 – 5 minutes and rinse with water. Repeat daily for two days or until results are visible.
• Apply 1 – 2 tablespoon of honey to the affected area. Leave for 10 – 15 minutes and rinse with warm water. Repeat regularly until results are visible.
Some tips:
• Drink at least 15 glasses of water daily to flush dangerous toxins from your body.
• Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly green leafy vegetables, to get the essential vitamins and nutrients that keep your body and skin healthy.
• Reduce stress. Try meditation, yoga, deep breathing, and other related exercises.
• Resist the temptation to squeeze and scratch acne.

Consider adding Ashwagandha and Manjishta.

An old and popular treatment for acne (and also wounds) is application of one’s own
saliva on the affected area. When I sustained some abrasions on hands and knees
from a fall from my scooter, I tested this by applying saliva on te abrasions on the right
hand and right knee. These healed faster than the abrasions on the left hand and left
knee.
Also found it is better not to put plaster on the wound.
