How Does Ayurveda Treat Psoriasis? - #11200
I’ve been living with psoriasis for a few years now, and it’s been really tough to manage. I’m curious about how psoriasis Ayurveda treatments work and whether they can provide long-term relief. For context, I have scaly patches on my elbows, knees, and occasionally on my scalp. I’ve tried steroid creams and moisturizers, but they only offer temporary relief, and I’m worried about the long-term side effects. A friend suggested I look into Ayurvedic remedies for psoriasis, but I don’t know where to start. I’ve read that Ayurveda focuses on balancing the doshas, and that psoriasis might be related to imbalances in Pitta and Kapha. What does this mean in practical terms, and how does it influence treatment? Are there specific herbs or oils that work best for psoriasis? For example, I’ve heard of neem, turmeric, and aloe vera being helpful, but how should they be used? Another thing I’m curious about is Panchakarma therapy. Some people say it’s one of the best psoriasis Ayurveda treatments, but I’m not sure what it involves. Is it painful or difficult to go through? And does it actually help with reducing flare-ups, or is it more about detoxing the body? If anyone has tried Ayurvedic treatments for psoriasis, I’d love to know about your experience. What remedies worked for you, and how long did it take to see results? Are there any lifestyle or dietary changes that I should follow alongside the treatments?
