I hear you—it can be really frustrating dealing with psoriasis, especially when the relief from creams doesn’t last. Patanjali’s products like Kayakalp Vati and Arogyavardhini Vati do have certain herbs that are traditionally known in Ayurveda to help with skin disorders, but let’s dig a bit deeper.
When it comes to using something like Kayakalp Vati, it contains herbs that are aimed at detoxifying the blood and balancing Pitta and Kapha. These imbalances often contribute to skin conditions like psoriasis. If you decide to try it, it’s generally recommended in doses of 1-2 tablets twice daily, preferably after meals. But, always check in with an Ayurvedic doctor first, just to be sure it suits your unique body constitution, or prakriti.
Arogyavardhini Vati, on the other hand, supports liver health, which is pretty crucial because a stressed liver can exacerbate skin issues. Similar dosage applies here as well, like 1-2 tablets twice daily. However, results, how quickly they show, can really vary from person to person. Some might notice change within few weeks, while for others it might take few months.
As for lifestyle and diet, it’s quite important in Ayurveda to support these treatments. Try to follow a diet that avoids triggering Pitta—so spicy, oily, and overly salty food should probably be minimized. Including coolant foods like cucumber, coriander, or coconut water can be helpful, and always ensure proper hydration and avoid alcohol. Stress reduction techniques, like yoga or meditation, can also really help—in many cases, stress is a big trigger for psoriatic flares.
One thing to bear in mind is that if your psoriasis is severe, or worsening, it’s really critical to engage with a healthcare provider. Sometimes a combination of allopathic and Ayurvedic care provides the best management. Stay safe, and wishing you the best in finding what works for you!
