Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory, and non-contagious skin condition that continues to affect many with symptoms like thickened, red, scaly skin, most often on the elbows, knees, and scalp. Modern medicine identifies it as an autoimmune disorder, while Ayurveda provides a holistic healing path, targeting the root causes through dosha balance, detoxification, herbs, diet, and lifestyle correction.
What Is Psoriasis in Ayurveda?
In Ayurveda, psoriasis aligns with Ek-Kushta, a skin condition described under Kushta Rog in the Charaka Samhita (c. 1500 BCE). Unlike certain major skin diseases considered incurable, Ek-Kushta is categorized as curable when treated with the right Ayurvedic therapies.
Causes and Imbalances
Dosha Imbalance: Predominantly Pitta (heat, inflammation) and Vata (dryness, scaling)
Ama (Toxin Buildup): From weak digestion (Agni)
Dietary Mistakes: Spicy, sour, fried, or incompatible food combinations
Emotional Triggers: Stress, anger, suppressed emotions
Lifestyle Errors: Overexertion after meals, irregular routines, suppressing natural urges
These factors disturb the blood (Rakta Dhatu), immunity (Ojas), and skin (Twak), leading to psoriasis flare-ups.
Types of Psoriasis: Ayurvedic Lens
Modern Type - Ayurvedic Understanding
Plaque Psoriasis - Vata (dryness, flaking) + Pitta (redness)
Guttate Psoriasis - Sudden Pitta flare with immune imbalance
Pustular Psoriasis - Kapha involvement (fluid, pus)
Inverse Psoriasis - Moist, aggravated in skin folds
Erythrodermic Psoriasis - Severe, systemic doshic chaos
Healing Pathways in Ayurveda
1. Detoxification (Shodhana)
Panchakarma therapies like Virechana (purgation) and Raktamokshana (blood purification) help eliminate toxins and balance doshas, preparing the body for deeper healing.
2. Herbal Allies
Neem – Blood purifier, reduces itching and inflammation
Manjistha – Cools Pitta and supports blood detoxification
Guduchi (Giloy) – Immunomodulator, detoxifier
Turmeric – Anti-inflammatory, promotes skin healing
Aloe Vera – Moisturizes and soothes
Sariva – Cooling and calming
3. Nourishing Topical Care
For psoriasis and other inflammatory skin conditions, topical nourishment is as essential as internal cleansing.
