🌿 Introduction
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder characterized by accelerated skin cell turnover, leading to scaling, redness, and inflammation. Conventional medicine often uses steroids and immunosuppressants—effective yet temporary and often with side effects.
Ayurveda offers a natural, root-cause-oriented approach, focusing on detox, dosha balance, herbal medicine, and diet corrections.

⚖️ Ayurvedic Understanding and Pathophysiology of Psoriasis
In Ayurveda, psoriasis is closely related to Kitibha or Ekakustha, classified under Kshudra Kushta (minor skin disorders). It’s caused by imbalanced Vata, Kapha, and sometimes Pitta doshas, along with Ama (toxins) accumulation.
| Dosha | Role in Psoriasis |
|---|---|
| Vata | Dryness, flaking, itching |
| Kapha | Thick, sticky scales |
| Pitta | Inflammation, redness, burning |
Ama disturbs dhatus like Rasa, Rakta, and Mamsa, lodging in Twacha (skin) and causing chronic flare-ups.
🔎 Signs and Symptoms of Psoriasis
Red, raised plaques with silvery scales
Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
Itching, burning, or pain
Thickened, pitted, or discolored nails
Joint stiffness (psoriatic arthritis)
