hello varalakshmi patnala, Your skin is not reacting randomly it’s trying to throw out toxins that are stuck inside the deeper tissues. Psoriasis, in Ayurveda, is closely related to Eka Kushta or Kitibha Kushta a type of stubborn skin disorder where the skin becomes thick, scaly, itchy, and dry due to Ama (toxic waste), Rakta Dushti (blood impurity), and Pitta-Kapha imbalance. What happens is: your digestion slows down, toxins don’t get cleared properly, and they get pushed into the skin layer. Add to this, the rainy season where the environment is damp and your internal fire (Agni) is even weaker and the skin gets worse. That’s why no matter how many external creams you try, the root cause stays inside.This needs a gentle, but consistent shodhana (cleansing) + shamana (soothing) treatment to heal properly.
Ayurvedic Treatment Plan:
1. Internal Medicines
Mahamanjishtadi Kashayam – 15 ml with warm water before meals Arogyavardhini Vati – 2 tabs twice daily after meals Khadirarishta – 15 ml with equal water after meals Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tab twice daily Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water
2. External Application
Lepa for lesions: Triphala + Neem + Turmeric powder paste – apply 3x/week Oil massage: Use Winsoria oil or Nalpamaradi taila daily before bath Bathe with green gram flour + turmeric instead of chemical soap Add neem leaves or Triphala powder in bath water
3. Diet and Lifestyle Guidelines
Avoid: curd, seafood, fried food, bakery items, sweets, brinjal, tomato, and sour foods Include: moong dal, ghee, old rice, bottle gourd, turmeric, neem, bitter vegetables Drink warm water with coriander or cumin boiled in it Avoid sleeping in the daytime, cold exposure, and stress Sleep by 10:30 PM, avoid screen time at night
Suggested Tests : CBC, ESR Liver function test Blood sugar Vitamin D3 and B12 Thyroid profile
This will take at least 3–4 months of steady healing, but it will be more lasting than temporary relief from steroids or creams.

Hello Varalakshmi, Thank you for sharing your concern. I understand how frustrating and emotionally draining chronic psoriasis can be especially during the rainy season, when dampness, humidity, and coolness tend to aggravate the skin even more. But dont worry we are here to help you out. 😊
AYURVEDIC PERSPECTIVE In Ayurveda, Psoriasis is referred to as “Kitibha Kushta” – a type of Tridoshaja Kushta, primarily caused by imbalance in: ☑️Vata (dryness, scaling, cracks) ☑️Kapha (thick patches, itching) ☑️Rakta Dushti (impure blood circulating toxins to skin)
✅INTERNAL. MEDICATION 1 Panchtikta guggulu ghrita 1 tsp morning empty stomach followed by warm water ( helps in Detoxifies blood, heals skin, reduces scaling) 2 Arogyavardhini Vati 1-0-1 ( Improves liver, clears skin toxins) 3 Sarivadyasava 15ml-0-15ml with equal water after food , ( Cools, purifies blood and balances pitta) 4 Gandhaka Rasayan 1 tab-0-1 tab ( Fights itching, infection and improves immunity)
👉If the condition is more flaring or oozing Mahamanjishtadi Kadha can be added instead of Sarivadyasava.
✅ External Application (Very Important)
✅ Daily Herbal Oiling Oil: Nimbadi Taila or Winsoria oil Apply gently over affected areas, especially before bath (keep for at least 30–45 minutes) Helps soften scales, reduce redness, and relieve itching
✅ Herbal Bathing Tips Avoid regular soaps Use Neem-leaf decoction water or Triphala + turmeric + licorice powder in bath water Do not scrub hard — pat dry gently
✅DIET MODIFICATION
❌ Strictly Avoid:
Curd, buttermilk, cheese Seafood, eggs, meat Fermented items (idli, dosa, vinegar, pickle) Excess salt, sugar, tea, coffee Cold, stale, packaged or leftover food tomato, brinjal, mushrooms
✅ Include:
Fresh cooked food with ghee Moong dal, old rice, barley, cooked vegetables Amla (gooseberry), pomegranate, figs Cumin-fennel-ajwain wateR Warm water infused with turmeric
✅ LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION
☑️Wake up early (by 6 am) Supports digestion and skin metabolism ☑️Do mild yoga/pranayama daily Reduces stress – major trigger of psoriasis ☑️Sleep before 10 pm Enhances liver detox and skin healing ☑️Avoid daytime sleeping, especially in rainy season
AS NOW RAINY SEASON IS STARTED YOU MUST TAKE. EXTRA CARE
Rainy season increases Kapha + Vata ➡️ worsens scaling, dampness, and skin inflammation. ✅ Apply oil before bath every alternate day ✅ Wear light, breathable cotton clothing ✅ Keep skin dry and avoid getting soaked ✅ Use Triphala decoction water for washing scalp or body
❗❗Psoriasis is chronic, early stopping of treatment may lead to relapse. You must be consistent for 3–6 months minimum.❗❗
** WITH THE ABOVE TREATMENT YOU WILL ABLE TO** ✅ Purify blood & remove deep-rooted toxins ✅ Calm immune response (reduce skin cell overgrowth) ✅ Moisturize & heal skin from within ✅ Strengthen digestion & avoid recurrence
With the right internal cleansing and external care Psoarisis is definately manageble
You are still young, and with regular care, you can absolutely achieve clear, comfortable skin again naturally
Wishing you healing, strength and clarity, Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Understanding and managing psoriasis through Ayurveda involves looking at your individual constitution or prakriti and identifying imbalances, most often related to the Vata and Kapha doshas, which are amplified during the rainy season. Psoriasis in Ayurveda is often linked to impurities in Rasa (lymph and plasma) and Rakta (blood), and managing these can help lead to relief.
First, let’s focus on your diet since it’s a crucial part of Ayurvedic treatment. To pacify Vata and Kapha, incorporate warm, moist foods like soups and stews. Use spices such as turmeric, cumin, coriander, and fennel, which are known to balance these doshas. Avoid cold foods, spicy, fried, and fermented items as they can aggravate symptoms. Minimize intake of sugar, as well— opt for natural sweeteners like honey or jaggery if needed. Stay away from heavy dairy products, especially in the rainy season, as they can exacerbate Kapha.
Hydration is essential, so drink warm water throughout the day. Consider herbal teas like those made with ginger or tulsi.
In terms of external remedies, consider applying a paste made of neem leaves or turmeric to affected areas, which have anti-inflammatory and healing properties. You might use coconut oil as a moisturizer, as it helps to soothe the skin.
Daily routines or dinacharya are also important— establish consistent sleeping patterns, and aim to go to bed and rise at the same times each day. Practice gentle exercises like yoga or brisk walking, which help keep the body’s systems in balance. Focus on stress-reducing practices such as meditation or pranayama, as stress often exacerbates psoriasis.
Consider Panchakarma therapy, which detoxifies the body, under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner. Taila (oil) therapies such as shirodhara and abhyanga can also be helpful.
Consult an Ayurvedic professional to determine the right herbs for internal consumption. Turmeric, neem, and manjistha are commonly recommended, but a tailored plan is critical.
Please remember, this advice serves as a general guideline. It’s vital to work with an Ayurvedic specialist who can provide a personalized approach considering your unique health concerns. And if conditions worsen or do not improve, seeking medical consultation is crucial to rule out other underlying issues.
