Ayurveda Medicines for Psoriasis
What is Psoriasis?
It is a skin disease that causes the cells of the skin to multiply ten times faster when compared to the normal skin. This makes the skin to form bumpy red patches that are covered with white scales. Psoriasis can occur anywhere, but it mostly appears on the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. It is not an infectious disease but can happen to the same family. It is an autoimmune disease that triggers inflammation of the skin cells and causes changes in the blood vessels and results in the elevated plaque of psoriasis.
How do Ayurveda Cure Psoriasis?
Ayurveda doctors believe that if doshas are not in balance, then one can feel stressed or become sick. The causative factors of the disease lead to the destruction of Tridosha and especially Vata and Kapha. These doshas then, with the help of Tiryakvahini siras, move into Bahya rogamarga, which causes the symptoms of the disease. The Ayurveda focuses on keeping the doshas in balance for good health. The main Ayurvedic treatment used to treat psoriasis is Divyasinduram. It will treat the patches, inflammation, itchiness, and all other skin diseases. It is meant to purify the blood and detox the body. The doctors recommend a vegetarian diet for the patients.
