How does Ayurveda Help Manage Psoriasis?

• Psoriasis is addressed as Kithibha in Ayurveda, often triggered by unresolved trauma or toxins in the blood. Other factors that may contribute to psoriasis include chronic stress and poor diet.
• According to Ayurveda, psoriasis may manifest because of vitiated Pitta and Vata doshas. While Vata dosha causes pain and scaling, pitta dosha is responsible for the burning sensation, inflammation, and itching.
• Since the symptoms and triggers of psoriasis are unique to each patient, Ayurveda recommends targeted therapies to treat the root cause of the problem. Some of the standard therapies in Ayurveda for psoriasis include Shodhana Chikitsa, Shamana Chikitsa and Rasayana Chikitsa, to name a few.
