Dealing with chronic psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis since 2018 is incredibly draining, especially when you’ve cycled through multiple systems of medicine without relief. Since you are looking for a specific Ayurvedic approach from the Kerala tradition, here is a concise breakdown. In Ayurveda, this condition is viewed as a Vatarakta or Kushtha variant, specifically Ekakushtha. It is considered a deep-seated toxicity where Vata and Pitta doshas vitiate the Rakta (blood) and Asthi (bone) tissues. When standard treatments fail, it often indicates that the “Dosha” is lodged deep in the tissues, requiring “Sodhana” (detoxification) or very potent “Shamana” (pacifying) herbs. 1. Psorakot Tablet Take 2 tablets twice daily after food. This is a specialized formulation for skin lesions and itching. 2. Winsoria Oil Apply externally over the affected skin lesions 30 minutes before bathing. This helps reduce scaling and inflammation. 3. Kottamchukkadi Thailam Apply warm oil over the affected joints and massage gently before bathing. This specifically targets the “Amavata” (inflammatory) component of psoriatic arthritis. 4. Mahathikthakam Kwath Take 15 ml mixed with 60 ml of lukewarm water, twice daily on an empty stomach. This is a potent blood purifier used for chronic skin and joint issues.
