Namaste Shri RP Sharma ji, Thank you for sharing detailed information. Based on your age (68 years), long-standing psoriasis (since 2005), moderate severity with weather-related flare-ups, vegetarian diet, and high BP on Concor AM 5, below is a safe Ayurvedic understanding and treatment approach. 🌿 (Advice is conservative and compatible with BP medicines.)
Ayurvedic Understanding - Psoriasis is described under Ekakushtha / Kitibha Kushtha, caused mainly by: - Vata–Kapha dominance with Rakta (blood) and Twak (skin) dushti - Long-standing toxins (Ama) lodged in skin tissues - Cold & dry weather aggravates Vata, hence winter flares - Since the disease is chronic, the aim is control, remission, and quality of life, not overnight cure.
Ayurvedic Treatment Plan (Safe for BP patients) 🔹 Internal Medicines (start low dose) - Arogyavardhini Vati 👉 1 tablet once daily after lunch ✔ Improves liver function, blood purification ⚠ Avoid high dose due to age & BP
- Gandhak Rasayan 👉 1 tablet twice daily after food ✔ Reduces scaling, itching, chronic inflammation ✔ Very safe for long-term use
- Mahamanjisthadi Kwath 👉 10–15 ml with equal warm water 👉 Once daily in the morning ✔ Best blood purifier for psoriasis ✔ Does NOT raise BP
- Avipattikar Churna 👉 ½ tsp at bedtime with warm water ✔ Prevents acidity & constipation (very important in psoriasis)
🔹 External Application - Karanja Taila + Coconut oil (1:1 mix) 👉 Apply once daily after bath on plaques ✔ Reduces scaling, dryness & itching
For scalp: 👉 Neelibhringadi oil twice weekly 👉 Wash with mild herbal shampoo (avoid medicated coal tar now)
Diet & Lifestyle (VERY IMPORTANT) ❌ Strictly Avoid Curd at night Pickles, papad, fried food Excess tea/coffee Bakery items, biscuits Tomatoes, brinjal (for 6 weeks trial) Daytime sleeping
✅ Include Moong dal, lauki, tori, pumpkin Old rice or wheat chapati Cow ghee (1 tsp daily) Warm water sipping Light morning walk + sunlight Seasonal Care (Weather Trigger) Winter: Apply oil daily, avoid cold exposure Do not scratch lesions Keep skin always moisturized
Regarding BP Medicine ✔ Continue Concor AM 5 as prescribed
❌ Avoid self-medicating herbs like: Guggulu in high doses Strong detox without supervision
Expected Results - Itching & scaling ↓ in 4–6 weeks - Patch thickness ↓ in 2–3 months
Long-term remission possible with regularity Important Note Because of your age + BP, Panchakarma (Virechan/Basti) should be done ONLY under supervision, not at home.

Hello Sharma ji I really admire your patience and how strong you’ve been. Dealing with psoriasis since 2005, trying everything, and still having daily discomfort is tough, especially at 68. First off, know this: you can get your psoriasis much better, even after all these years. But it needs a deep, consistent Ayurvedic approach, not just creams.
YOUR CONCERN
– Name: RP Sharma – Age: 68 – Psoriasis since 2005 (that’s 20 years!) – It’s on your: Scalp, ears, elbows, back of your hands, butt, thighs, legs – How bad it is: Medium, with patches coming and going – What makes it worse: Weather changes – What you eat: Mostly veggies – Something else: High blood pressure – Your medicine: Concor AM 5 (since 2011)
What you’re worried about: – Is there any hope for treatment after so long? – Can Ayurveda help without messing with your BP meds?
HOW AYURVEDA SEES IT (EASY TO UNDERSTAND) Psoriasis, in Ayurveda, is like a type of Kushta and mostly involves: – Too much Pitta + Kapha – that’s why you get redness, inflammation, and those thick, dry patches.
– Rakta Dhatu Dushti (think of it as impure blood) – this makes it long-lasting and causes flare-ups.
– Vata getting involved (because of your age and how long you’ve had it) – this brings the dryness, cracking, and why it spreads.
Since you’ve had this for a while, just treating the surface won’t cut it. You need a full plan: cleansing (Shodhana), medicines (Shamana), and a strict diet.
BIG SAFETY WARNING ⚠️ – DO NOT stop your Concor AM 5. – The Ayurvedic medicines I’m suggesting are safe for BP, but you should still keep an eye on your blood pressure. – Any Panchakarma treatments must be done with a doctor watching over you.
YOUR AYURVEDIC PLAN
PHASE 1 : Getting Your Digestion Right (First 2-3 weeks)
1. Arogyavardhini Vati – Take 1 tablet after lunch – Helps your liver and how your body uses food (super important for skin issues)
2. Triphala Churna – Have half a teaspoon with warm water before bed – Gently cleanses and keeps your bowels regular
PHASE 2 : Cleaning Your Blood & Healing Your Skin (3-6 months)
3. Mahamanjisthadi Kashayam – Mix 15 ml with the same amount of warm water – Take it twice a day before meals
4. Gandhak Rasayan – Take 1 tablet twice a day after meals – Very helpful for psoriasis that’s been around for a while
5. Guduchi Ghana Vati – Take 1 tablet twice a day after meals – Boosts your immune system and reduces flare-ups
FOR YOUR SKIN (TO HELP THINGS ALONG)
–777 Oil – Rub a thin layer on once a day after your bath. –For your scalp: Malatyadi taila – Use 2-3 times a week before washing your hair. –Stay away from steroid creams for long-term use.
PANCHAKARMA (I REALLY THINK YOU SHOULD CONSIDER THIS)
For something you’ve had for 20 years, medicines alone will be slow. The best options (always with a doctor’s guidance): – Virechana – to cleanse Pitta and blood. – Basti therapy – to help with Vata and the long-term nature of it. These often make the condition go away for a good long time.
YOUR DIET – YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW THIS
✅ WHAT YOU CAN EAT: – Rice, wheat (not too much) – Moong dal – Lauki, tori, pumpkin – Only homemade food – Ghee (a little bit)
❌ ABSOLUTELY AVOID: – Curd (especially at night) – Sour stuff – Pickles – Fermented foods – Bakery items – Too much salt – Brinjal, tomato (at first)
Seriously, just changing your diet can make your flare-ups 40-50% better!
DAILY HABITS – Don’t get too cold – Massage your body with oil (sesame or coconut) before your bath – Try to reduce stress – Get enough sleep – A little sunlight is good (but not harsh sun)
Psoriasis can be managed, but it’s not a quick fix.
Sharma ji, your age and how long you’ve had this don’t mean you can’t get better. Many people with 15-25 years of psoriasis improve a lot when: * They’ve done proper cleansing. * They stick to their diet. * They take their medicines regularly.

Hello, RP sharmaji,
I understand how exhausting it is to live with psoriasis for so many years, especially when it involves multiple areas like scalp years, elbows, palms, buttocks, thighs, Lex, and when you have already tried many systems without blasting relief, long standing psoriasis usually becomes a chronic internal imbalance rather than just skin problem and weather sensitivity. Further confirms this external application alone cannot control it fully.
From an Ayurvedic point of view, this condition needs internal purification, gentle correction of digestion and blood quality along with calming of inflammation. While keeping your age and blood pressure medicine in mind, the treatment must be safe, steady and non-aggressive.
You can start with
Gandhak rasayana one tablet twice daily after food Arogyavardini vati one tablet twice daily after food Giloy sat to pinch with warm water Neem capsule one capsule twice daily after food
Mahamanjistadi aristha 4 teaspoon with equal amount of water twice daily after meals Triphala churna 1 teaspoon with warm water at night
This medicines are generally compatible with BP medicines, but still monitoring BP regularly is advised, but keep a gap of between half an hour between Ayurveda and Alapati medicines
Apply Neem or 777 oil over the affected areas
Avoid curd at night, spicy sour, fermented, fried food Limit bakery items, sugar, and packaged food Include simple, warm, vegetarian, food, vegetables, guard, carrot, green, leafy vegetables Avoid day, sleep, and excessive cold exposure Protect skin from extreme cold and dryness
