Psoriasis: Not Just a Skin Disease, but a Deeper Imbalance | Discover its Successful & Permanent Ayurvedic Solution
Introduction: The Pain of Psoriasis – Physical and Mental
Psoriasis is far more than just the red, scaly patches that appear on the skin. It is a painful, persistent autoimmune condition that deeply impacts a person’s quality of life. The physical discomfort of itching, burning, and pain is often accompanied by a crushing blow to one’s self-confidence, leading to stress, anxiety, and social isolation. Many people get trapped in a frustrating cycle of using steroid creams and temporary solutions, only to find their condition returning with a vengeance. This is because these treatments only suppress the symptoms; they don’t address the root cause of the disease.
However, Ayurveda, the ancient science of life, views this condition from a much deeper perspective. According to Ayurveda, Psoriasis is not a superficial problem but an external manifestation of an internal imbalance. It is the result of vitiated Tridoshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), impurity of the blood (Rakta Dushti), and a weakened digestive fire.
At Shree Madhav Smaran Ayurved Clinic, under the expert guidance of Dr. Jigar Gor, we are committed to understanding and eliminating Psoriasis from its very roots. Our goal is not just to offer temporary relief, but to restore your healthy skin and a healthy life through the pure, time-tested principles of Ayurveda and Panchakarma therapy.
The Ayurvedic Insight: What Really is Psoriasis?
Modern science defines Psoriasis as an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy skin cells. This causes the skin cells to multiply up to 10 times faster than normal, leading to a build-up of cells on the skin’s surface that form thick, scaly patches.
In Ayurveda, this process was understood thousands of years ago under the broader classification of “Kushtha Roga” (a term for skin diseases, distinct from modern-day leprosy). Psoriasis is primarily linked to an imbalance of the three Doshas:
- Kitibha Kushtha (Vata-Pitta Dominant Psoriasis): This is the most common type.
- Role of Vata Dosha: Vata is responsible for causing extreme dryness, roughness, scaling, and cracks in the skin. The pain associated with Psoriasis is also a symptom of aggravated Vata.
- Role of Pitta Dosha: Pitta is responsible for the burning sensation, inflammation, redness, and heat in the skin. Pitta plays a key role in vitiating the blood.
- Symptoms: In this type, the skin appears blackish-red, dry, rough, and is intensely scaly.
- Eka Kushtha (Kapha-Pitta Dominant Psoriasis):
- Role of Kapha Dosha: Kapha contributes to the itching, thickness, and stability of the patches. Sometimes, slight oozing can also be due to Kapha.
- Role of Pitta Dosha: Pitta, again, is responsible for the redness and inflammation.
- Symptoms: This type resembles fish scales, is associated with itching, and does not spread very quickly.
When these Doshas become imbalanced, they contaminate the body’s deep tissues like Rasa (Plasma), Rakta (Blood), Mamsa (Muscles), and Lasika (Lymph), making the disease deep-seated and chronic.
The Root of Psoriasis: The Causes You Might Be Ignoring
According to Ayurveda, Psoriasis doesn’t appear overnight. It is the cumulative result of years of dietary and lifestyle mistakes.
- Viruddha Aahara (Incompatible Food Combinations): This is the single biggest trigger.
- Examples: Consuming milk with salt, curd, sour fruits, or fish. Regular consumption of curd, especially at night.
- Wrong Diet:
- Excessive intake of sour, salty, spicy, and deep-fried foods.
- Foods made from refined flour (maida), junk food, processed and preservative-laden foods.
- Excessive consumption of urad dal, rajma, chhole, peas, brinjal (eggplant), and potato.
- Stale food and refrigerated leftovers.
- Imbalanced Lifestyle:
- Mental Stress: Anxiety, anger, and depression directly aggravate the Pitta Dosha, which is a primary trigger for Psoriasis flare-ups.
- Improper Sleep: Staying awake late at night (Ratri Jagran) and sleeping during the day (Diwaswapna) disturbs the Vata and Kapha Doshas.
- Suppressing Natural Urges: Forcibly holding back natural urges like urination, defecation, or sneezing increases toxicity (Ama) in the body.
- Addictions:
- Alcohol and smoking drastically increase heat and dryness in the body, vitiate the blood, and make the disease more severe.
- Genetic Predisposition: If there is a family history of the disease, the chances of developing it increase.
How to Identify the Symptoms of Psoriasis?
- On the Skin: Raised red patches on the skin covered with thick, silvery-white scales.
- Sensation: Intense itching, a burning sensation, or a stinging pain in the affected skin.
- Cracks: The dry patches may crack and sometimes bleed.
- Location: It commonly starts on the elbows, knees, lower back, and scalp (Scalp Psoriasis).
- On the Nails (Nail Psoriasis): Thickening of nails, change in colour, development of small pits, or separation of the nail from the nail bed.
- In the Joints (Psoriatic Arthritis): In chronic cases, it can lead to pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints.
An Important Fact: Is Psoriasis Contagious?
No, absolutely not! Psoriasis is a non-contagious autoimmune condition. It does not spread by touching, hugging, eating with, or using the clothes of a person who has it. Patients with Psoriasis need love and support, not discrimination.
The Permanent Ayurvedic Treatment for Psoriasis: A Holistic & Scientific Approach
Ayurveda follows a multi-pronged treatment protocol for Psoriasis that focuses on eradicating the disease from its roots.
Step 1: Shodhan Chikitsa (Body Purification/Detoxification)
This is the foundation of the treatment. Through Panchakarma, the accumulated toxins and aggravated Doshas are expelled from the body and blood.
- Vamana (Therapeutic Emesis): Medicated emesis is induced when there is high Kapha aggravation.
- Virechana (Therapeutic Purgation): This is the most important procedure for Psoriasis. Medicated purgatives are given to flush out the Pitta Dosha and toxins through the bowels. It is the most effective way to purify the blood.
Step 2: Shaman Chikitsa (Internal Medicines)
After the body is purified through Panchakarma, herbal medicines are administered to balance the Doshas and nourish the tissues.
- Herbs: Formulations made from herbs like Manjishtha, Khadir, Neem, Giloy (Amrita), and Sariva, along with specially prepared Rasa Aushadhis are prescribed according to the patient’s constitution and the stage of the disease. These medicines should only be taken under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic doctor.
Step 3: Bahya Chikitsa (External Applications)
Medicated oils and herbal pastes are used externally to soothe the skin and reduce itching, scaling, and dryness.
- Oils: Karanj oil, Mahamarichyadi oil, Nalpamaradi oil.
- Pastes (Lepa): Pastes made from various healing herbs.
Step 4: Pathya-Apathya (Strict Dietary and Lifestyle Discipline)
This is the most critical part of the treatment. Without this, no medicine or therapy can be fully successful.
| What to Do (Pathya – Do’s) | What to Avoid (Apathya – Don’ts) – Must be Strictly Avoided |
|---|---|
| Eat simple, easily digestible, and fresh food. | Non-vegetarian food (especially fish), eggs. |
| Vegetables like bottle gourd (lauki), ridge gourd (turai), pointed gourd (parval). | Curd (yoghurt), paneer, and other heavy milk products. |
| Mung dal, aged rice, barley chapati. | Urad dal, rajma, chhole, peas, brinjal. |
| Bitter-tasting foods like bitter gourd (karela), neem, and turmeric. | Excess salt, pickles, papad, sour foods, tamarind. |
| Practice Yoga, Pranayama, and Meditation regularly. | Refined flour (maida), sugar, bakery items, junk food, cold drinks. |
| Get adequate and timely sleep (try to sleep by 10 PM). | Alcohol, smoking, and all forms of tobacco. |
| Make a conscious effort to stay stress-free. | Sleeping during the day and staying awake late at night. |

The Path to a Permanent Cure: Why Patience and Expert Guidance are Non-Negotiable
In a world of instant solutions, it’s tempting to search for a quick fix for Psoriasis. However, it’s vital to understand that this condition is a deep-seated, chronic imbalance that has often taken years to develop. Superficial treatments or generic “ayurvedic” products bought online may offer temporary relief, but they fail to address the root cause and can even worsen the condition in the long run.

Superficial treatments or generic “ayurvedic” products bought online may offer temporary relief, but they fail to address the root cause and can even worsen the condition in the long run.
True healing from Psoriasis rests on two non-negotiable pillars:
1.The Essential Role of Patience (Dhairya): Healing Psoriasis with Ayurveda is like carefully uprooting a deep and stubborn weed from a garden. Simply cutting the top off will only cause it to grow back, often stronger. The Ayurvedic process of Shodhan (purification) and Shaman (pacification) works slowly but surely to cleanse the blood, pacify the doshas, and heal the tissues from the inside out. This deep healing takes time and commitment. Your patience, combined with a strict adherence to the prescribed diet and lifestyle, is not passive waiting; it is an active and powerful partnership in your own healing journey. It is this dedicated effort that leads to lasting, life-changing results.
2.Customized Treatment Under an Expert Vaidya: Your Psoriasis is not the same as someone else’s. Your unique body constitution (Prakriti), the specific doshic imbalance (Vikriti), the strength of your digestive fire, and the depth of tissue involvement are all critical factors. An expert Ayurvedic doctor like Dr. Jigar Gor doesn’t just treat the disease; they treat the individual. After a deep analysis, a precise and personalized treatment plan is crafted, involving authentic Ayurvedic medications in the correct dosage and combination, tailored specifically for you. This customized approach is the difference between temporarily managing symptoms and achieving a permanent cure.
Conclusion: Leave Despair Behind, Embrace Ayurveda
Don’t let Psoriasis control your life. It is not an incurable curse. With the right Ayurvedic guidance, a disciplined lifestyle, and patience, you can not only get rid of this disease but also achieve a state of overall well-being. Take the first step today towards reclaiming your healthy, beautiful, and confident skin.
