Hello Alekhya I can truly understand your concern. Palmoplantar pustular psoriasis (on palms & soles) is a autoimmune condition that can be frustrating, especially when it keeps recurring despite many treatments. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊
✅AYURVEDIC APPROACH
✅INTERNAL MEDICATION (for blood purification & immunity) 1 Panchtikta Ghrita Guggulu 1 TSP morning empty stomach follwed by warm. Water – classic medicine for skin auto-immune disorders. 2 Arogyavardhini Vati 2-0-2 after food – liver detox & balances Pitta. 3 Mahamanjishthadi Kashayam 15ml-0-15ml +45 ml water – powerful blood purifier, reduces redness & itching.
✅EXTERNAL LOCAL APPLICATION
👉Coconut oil + Neem oil mix – apply on palms & soles to reduce dryness, pus, and scaling. 👉Aloe vera fresh gel – soothing for itching & burning. 👉Turmeric + ghee paste – helps healing of cracked/scaly patches.
(Avoid harsh soaps, detergents, frequent washing with hot water.)
✅DIETARY ADVICE-
❌Strictly avoid: fried foods, sour curd, red chili, excess salt, non-veg, alcohol, bakery, cold-drinks.
☑️Take more: bitter vegetables (karela, methi, neem leaves), bottle gourd, pumpkin, pomegranate, green gram, old rice.
☑️Include buttermilk (takra) with jeera daily – good for digestion & skin.
☑️Drink warm water to flush out Ama (toxins).
✅Lifestyle & Stress tips
Maintain regular sleep cycle – late nights worsen psoriasis. Stress is a major trigger – practice Anulom Vilom & Bhramari pranayama daily. Gentle sun exposure in the morning is beneficial. Avoid scratching or peeling scales – it worsens flare-ups.
✅PANCHAKARMA (if possible at Ayurveda centre)
For resistant cases like yours, Panchakarma therapies are very effective
1 Virechana (Purgation therapy) – to eliminate excess Pitta. 2 Raktamokshana / Jalaukavacharana (Leech therapy) – reduces local inflammation & pus. 3 Takradhara (medicated buttermilk pouring therapy) – calms stress & immunity. 4 Basti (medicated enema) – balances Vata & immunity.
With regular Ayurvedic care, psoriasis can be brought under long-term control, flare-ups reduce, and skin starts healing gradually.
Wish you a Good health😊

In Ayurveda, Palmoplantar Pustular Psoriasis (PPP) is often understood as a chronic skin condition (Kushtha Roga) resulting from an imbalance of the three doshas, particularly Vata and Pitta, and sometimes Kapha. Your description of “red spots,” “puss form,” “itching,” and “scaly” skin aligns with a complex dosha imbalance.
Pitta Imbalance: The redness and pus formation are classic signs of aggravated Pitta, which governs heat and inflammation.
Vata Imbalance: The dryness, scaling, and itching you describe point to an excess of Vata, which is associated with dryness, roughness, and air.
Kapha Imbalance: The pustules and “puss form” can also be linked to an imbalanced Kapha, which deals with fluids and can lead to oozing or wetness.
Ayurvedic treatment for this condition is holistic and aims to address the root cause by purifying the blood, balancing the doshas, and improving digestion (Agni). The approach often includes:
1. Diet and Lifestyle (Ahar Vihar) Avoid Pitta-aggravating foods: Stay away from spicy, sour, and salty foods. This includes things like fermented foods, curd, and excessive use of chili and spices. Embrace Vata and Pitta-pacifying foods: Focus on a diet rich in cooling, bitter, and sweet (natural) tastes. Incorporate green leafy vegetables, old rice, green gram (moong dal), and bitter gourd. Hydration: Drink plenty of water and herbal teas to help with detoxification. Avoid incompatible food combinations (Viruddha Ahara): Ayurveda emphasizes avoiding combinations like milk with fish, or hot and cold foods together. Stress Management: Psoriasis can be triggered by stress. Practices like yoga, meditation, and pranayama (breathing exercises) are highly recommended.
2. Herbal Remedies For blood purification: Manjishtadi kashaya 20 ml after food 2 times a day
well-known for their detoxifying and anti-inflammatory properties.
For inflammation and scale . Giloy ghan vati 1-1 -1 after food

HELLO ALEKHYA,
WHAT IS IT :- PPP is a chronic skin disease that mainly affects the palms and soles, It causes red patches, pustules (small pus-filled spots), scaling, and itching
WHY IT HAPPENS (Ayurvedic view) -due to imbalance of pitta (heat) and kapha (stickiness, heaviness) dosha -impurities (known as Aam) and Rakta dushti (impure blood) accumulate in the body. -The skin express this imbalance in the form of inflammation, pustules and scaling

It sounds like you are experiencing yaba saproot in Ayurvedic terms, a condition often correlating to pustular psoriasis in modern medicine. This condition often involves imbalances in the doshas, particularly Pitta and Kapha, leading to toxin (ama) accumulation in your system. To address this holistically, let’s start with dietary recommendations: Emphasize cooling, bitter and astringent foods to help balance Pitta. Include leafy greens, bitter gourd, and turmeric in daily meals. Avoid spicy, oily, salty, and sour foods as they may exacerbate your symptoms.
Lifestyle adjustments include practicing Tridoshic balance yoga that focuses on gentle stretching and deep breathing—this apporach aids detoxification and alleviates stress, a common trigger. Adequate sleep is vital to allow your body to heal naturally. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, and stress triggers, indulgence in these factors may irritate your skin conditions further.
Herbally speaking, Neem (Azadirachta indica) has properties that can purifying blood and reduce inflammation. You might want to drink neem tea daily or apply neem paste on the afflicted areas. Likewise, application of Aloe Vera gel topically might soothe itching and reduce scaliness. Ayurveda texts recommend Panchakarma, a detoxification treatment, to cleanse the accumulated toxins in the body, however consult a qualified practitioner to guide you appropriately.
It’s essential to keep track of other symptoms that may be emerging and seek immediate medical care if any dramatic changes occur. While Ayurveda provides a path towards balance and healing, continued collaboration with your healthcare provider is crucial. Never hesitate to reach out to a health professional if acute symptoms arise.
