Itching worse at night
Itching that worsens at night can seriously disrupt sleep and quality of life. The body's natural circadian rhythm can increase skin temperature and reduce cortisol at night, both of which may intensify itch. Ayurveda recognises night-time itch as a sign of aggravated Kapha and Vata in the skin.
