Namaste Pavan ji, Psoriasis is indeed a challenging condition, and Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to not only address the external symptoms but also to bring balance within the body. I will guide you on how to manage your scalp psoriasis using Ayurvedic principles, focusing on both internal and external treatments. Understanding Psoriasis in Ayurveda: In Ayurveda, Psoriasis is considered a condition of Vata and Kapha dosha imbalance, primarily related to Pitta (heat), which causes inflammation and the production of excess skin cells. Psoriasis is often linked with Ama (toxins) accumulation in the body, which can aggravate the skin condition. The goal is to balance these doshas, eliminate toxins, and restore the natural state of the skin. External Treatments: You are already using sesame oil and neem oil, both of which are beneficial in psoriasis treatment. Here’s how you can enhance these treatments: Sesame Oil: Action: Sesame oil is naturally nourishing, anti-inflammatory, and moisturizes the skin. It balances Vata and Pitta doshas and helps reduce dryness and scaling. Usage: Apply sesame oil (warm) to your scalp and leave it for a few hours before washing it off with a mild, Ayurvedic shampoo. For better results, you may also mix turmeric or sandalwood powder in sesame oil. Neem Oil: Action: Neem is highly effective in treating skin disorders due to its antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps reduce itching, redness, and scaling. Usage: Apply neem oil directly to the affected areas of the scalp. You can leave it on overnight or for a few hours and wash it off gently. Aloe Vera: Aloe vera gel can be applied to the scalp and skin to cool inflammation and provide relief from itching and irritation. It is excellent for soothing the skin. Internal Ayurvedic Treatment: Herbal Formulations: Mahamanjishtadi Kwath: This is an excellent Ayurvedic decoction for detoxification and purifying the blood, especially beneficial for treating skin conditions like psoriasis. Maharasnadi Kwath: Known for reducing inflammation and boosting immunity. It helps to balance the Pitta dosha and reduce the flare-ups of psoriasis. Kutajarishta: Helps in managing gut health and reducing Ama (toxins), which is often at the root of skin conditions. Neem Tablets: Neem helps in blood purification and has anti-inflammatory properties, which can be beneficial when taken internally to manage skin conditions. Triphala: Triphala is a gentle detoxifier that helps cleanse the system. It balances all three doshas and supports digestion, which is crucial in psoriasis management. Turmeric: Internal use of turmeric (as a powder or in capsule form) helps reduce inflammation, detoxify the body, and balance Pitta. It has strong anti-inflammatory properties. Ashwagandha: Ashwagandha is an adaptogen that can help reduce stress, balance Vata and Pitta doshas, and promote skin healing from within. Dietary Guidelines (What to Eat and Avoid): Foods to Avoid: Spicy, oily, and deep-fried foods (These increase Pitta and heat in the body). Fermented foods, alcohol, and caffeine (These can trigger inflammation). Dairy products (especially full-fat dairy) and foods that are too sour or salty can exacerbate symptoms. Foods to Include: Cooling foods: Include coconut, cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. These help to reduce excess heat in the body. Whole grains: Opt for rice, barley, and oats, which are easy to digest and nourishing. Anti-inflammatory foods: Include turmeric, ginger, and garlic in your meals. These herbs help balance inflammation. Fresh fruits and vegetables: Especially non-acidic fruits like apples, pears, and bananas. Light, simple meals: Follow a vegetarian diet and avoid heavy, rich foods. Meals should be easily digestible. Lifestyle Recommendations: Detoxification: Consider undergoing Panchakarma, a specialized Ayurvedic detox treatment that includes therapies like Virechana (purgation) and Abhyanga (oil massage) to remove toxins and balance the doshas. A simple detox at home can include drinking warm water with a pinch of turmeric and ginger in the morning. Yoga and Pranayama: Yoga practices that help reduce stress, such as Pranayama (breathing exercises), can help manage the emotional triggers that might worsen psoriasis. Postures like Sarvangasana (shoulder stand), Matsyasana (fish pose), and Bhujangasana (cobra pose) help improve circulation and detoxify the body. Hydration: Drink warm water throughout the day to aid digestion and flush out toxins from the body. Other Tips: Avoid stress as much as possible, as it can trigger flare-ups. Practices like meditation, Pranayama, and daily oil massages (Abhyanga) can help reduce stress levels.

Scalp psoriasis is primarily a result of pitta and kapha imbalance, leading to inflammation, scaling, and dryness. While external application of sesame and neem oil is beneficial, internal detoxification is essential for long-term relief. Avoid spicy, sour, fermented, and deep-fried foods, as they aggravate pitta and kapha. Limit dairy, red meat, alcohol, and processed foods. Favor bitter and cooling foods like neem, karela, and amla. Drink plenty of warm water and herbal teas like turmeric or guduchi. Ayurvedic medicines like Arogyavardhini Vati, Mahatikta Ghrita, and Kaishore Guggulu can help detoxify and balance the doshas. Panchakarma therapies, such as Virechana (purgation) and Raktamokshana (bloodletting), can provide deeper cleansing and long-term relief. Regular intake of triphala at night and manjistha for blood purification can also help manage symptoms.
