Psoriasis is one of the most irritating skin diseases.In severe cases, treatment is usually limited to symptomatic relief. Psoriasis is auto immune disease of skin in which our immune system behaves as if it is attacking the skin. The autoimmune attack is directed against epidermal cells and leads to the formation of red scaly plaques. Psoriasis can occur anywhere on the body but most commonly on the scalp, elbows, knees and lower back. There are more than 100 known psoriasis treatments. Most of them involve some form of light therapy. Symptoms of Psoriasis - Ayurveda consider this as a disease of vata dosha. Vata is one of the three doshas, which are essential for human functioning. They are responsible for maintaining health and equilibrium in the body. They help in digestion, metabolism and immunity, while they keep us energetic and alert. The three doshas - vata, pitta and kapha are the primary factors in our constitution. We Ayurvedic Doctors diagnose this as a skin disease called "ek-kushtha". Ayurvedic treatment for Psoriasis is very effective and without any side effects. We Ayurvedic Doctors first understand causes then condition of doshas & disease in body by nadi pariksha and case history. Then Ayurvedic medicines are selected according to age, dosha, disease, gender, body type (prakruti), digestive fire etc. Immuno-modulation treatment is usually preferred for Psoriasis.
