Psoriasis

Ayurvedic support for chronic inflammatory skin concerns, dry raised patches, flaky lesions, itching, and long-term skin balance.

Definition

Psoriasis is an autoimmune, non-contagious, chronic inflammatory skin disorder resulting in hyper-proliferation of the skin. It is characterized by dry, raised, rough, red areas covered with fine silvery scales.

Ayurvedic View

In Ayurveda, psoriasis can be correlated to Kitiba, a variety of Kshudra Kushta and a Maha Gada, meaning it can be difficult to manage. It involves disturbance of seven body factors: three Doshas, skin, blood, Mamsa, and lymphatic fluid.

Symptoms

Signs and symptoms include dryness, flaky skin lesions, raised rough red areas, itching, and occasional bleeding from the rashes. If not addressed effectively, it may affect the joints and lead to psoriatic arthritis.

Why Ayurveda?

Ayurveda focuses on improving Agni, removing Ama, correcting Dhatwagni, strengthening the Dhatus, and maintaining the equilibrium of the seven disturbed factors involved in Kitiba.

Improving Agni

The treatment begins with improving digestive fire because constant imbalance in diet and lifestyle can lead to Mandagni, poor digestion, and formation of Ama.

Removing Ama

Ama is addressed through cleansing and metabolic correction because it disturbs Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, and Lasika, eventually contributing to Kitiba.

Correcting Dhatwagni

The line of treatment includes correcting Dhatu metabolism and strengthening the Dhatus involved in the skin, blood, muscle tissue, and lymphatic channels.

Panchakarma Detoxification

A complete Panchakarma program may include Snehapana, Vamana, and Virechana to help remove toxins, improve metabolism, and support long-term skin balance.

Rejuvenation Therapies

Rejuvenation treatments such as Abhyanga and Dhara are used to support recovery, calm the system, and strengthen the body after detoxification.

Yoga & Daily Regimen

Management includes dietary regulations, daily regimens, Yoga, Asana, Pranayama, and Meditation to reduce recurrence and support healthier skin.

Daivavyapashraya Measures

Traditional supportive measures such as Mantra Chikitsa and Homa may be included as part of the broader Ayurvedic approach where appropriate.
