What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious autoimmune skin disorder characterized by rapid skin cell growth, causing thick, red, itchy patches covered with silvery scales. It commonly affects the elbows, knees, scalp, hands, feet, and nails and may also involve joint inflammation known as psoriatic arthritis.
Although psoriasis is a lifelong condition, Ayurvedic treatment aims to address the root cause and reduce recurrences naturally.
Causes of Psoriasis According to Ayurveda
According to Ayurveda, psoriasis occurs due to the aggravation of Vata and Kapha doshas, along with impurities in the blood and digestive toxins (Ama). Several lifestyle and dietary factors contribute to this imbalance, including:
- Excess consumption of spicy and salty foods
- Seafood and fermented foods
- Yogurt and black gram
- Stress and anxiety
- Poor digestion
- Alcohol and smoking
- Genetic predisposition
- Environmental triggers
Common Symptoms of Psoriasis
Symptoms may vary depending on the type of psoriasis but commonly include:
- Red patches covered with silvery scales
- Dry, cracked, or itchy skin
- Burning sensation and irritation
- Thickened or pitted nails
- Scalp flaking
- Joint pain and swelling
- Skin inflammation and tenderness

Ayurvedic View of Eczema & Urticaria
Eczema, dermatitis, and urticaria are correlated with Sheeta Pitta and Udarda in Ayurveda. The imbalance of Vata and Kapha doshas disturbs Pitta and affects the blood (Rakta) and skin tissues (Twacha), resulting in itching, redness, inflammation, and allergic skin reactions.
Ayurvedic therapies focus on eliminating toxins and restoring internal balance to provide long-term relief.
