🌿 Psoriasis: Unveiling the Roots and Finding Relief at Yogakshema Ayurveda Hospital

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that affects millions worldwide. Characterized by red, scaly patches on the skin, it can deeply impact a person’s quality of life. While the exact cause is not fully understood, an overactive immune system is considered a major contributor.

🧪 Understanding the Science

• Immune System Imbalance: The immune system attacks healthy skin cells, leading to rapid cell buildup and thick, scaly patches.

• Genetic Predisposition: Family history increases the risk of developing psoriasis.

• Environmental Triggers: Stress, infections, smoking, and medications can worsen flare-ups.

🧘‍♂️ Ayurvedic Perspective (Kitibha Kustha)

Ayurveda explains psoriasis as a result of dosha imbalance, primarily involving Vata and Pitta.

• Dosha Imbalance: Vata causes unpredictability in symptoms, while Pitta leads to inflammation and burning.

• Ama (Toxin) Accumulation: Poor diet, alcohol, processed food, and sedentary lifestyle increase toxin build-up in tissues and blood, aggravating symptoms.

👀 Signs and Symptoms

• Red, scaly patches with silvery-white flakes

• Intense itching and irritation

• Joint pain (psoriatic arthritis) in some individuals

• Nail changes like pitting, discoloration, or thickening

🧾 Diagnosis

Diagnosis is primarily clinical, based on:

• Physical examination

• Symptom history and appearance of skin, joints, and nails
