Psoriasis and Other skin diseases

Psoriasis is a chronic non – infectious inflammatory disease of the skin characterized by well-defined erythematous plaques bearing large, adherent silvery scales. Ayurveda offers various approaches for managing psoriasis, focusing on balancing the body’s doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha.

A primary treatment is Panchakarma, a detoxifying therapy involving actions like medicated ghee consumption, herbal enemas, and therapeutic body pastes. Ayurvedic practices emphasize a vegetarian diet, stress management through yoga and meditation, and herbal remedies such as turmeric and aloe vera for their anti-inflammatory properties.

Herbs like ashwagandha can reduce stress, potentially mitigating flare-ups. Regular baths with soothing oils, such as coconut or olive oil, help maintain skin health. While some studies indicate benefits from these treatments, they often lack large-scale clinical validation. Therefore, combining Ayurvedic practices with conventional medical advice is recommended for holistic psoriasis management.

Multimodal Ayurveda treatment including the Panchakarma therapy, Diet control and medications lead to speedy and substantial recovery from Psoriasis and other skin disease like Eczema, Atopic dermatitis.
