Doctors’ responses
In Ayurveda, psoriasis is linked to imbalances in Vata and Kapha doshas, causing toxin buildup (Ama) in the blood and skin. Managing psoriasis holistically involves dietary adjustments, herbal remedies, and lifestyle practices.
1. Ayurvedic Diet
Opt for easily digestible, warm, and cooked foods like soups, stews, and khichdi. Include bitter greens, turmeric, and fenugreek to help cleanse the blood. Avoid spicy, fried foods, dairy, and gluten, as they can trigger flare-ups. Staying hydrated and using cooling spices like cumin and fennel can also help.
2. Herbal Remedies
Neem and Turmeric: Neem purifies the blood, while turmeric reduces inflammation. Use neem oil topically and drink turmeric milk daily.
Aloe Vera: Fresh gel soothes itching and moisturizes cracked skin.
Manjistha and Khadir: These herbs are effective blood purifiers that can help reduce skin inflammation.
3. Topical Treatments
Coconut Oil with Turmeric: Mix and apply to soothe dry, cracked areas.
Neem Oil: Use neem oil or Mahamarichyadi Tailam for anti-inflammatory effects and relief from scaling.
4. Ayurvedic Detox (Panchakarma)
Consider detox therapies like Virechana (purgation) and Abhyanga (oil massage) under professional guidance to eliminate toxins. These therapies help balance the doshas and alleviate symptoms.
5. Lifestyle Tips
Follow a daily routine (Dinacharya) with regular meals, sleep, and gentle exercise. Practice yoga (Child’s Pose, Legs Up the Wall) and Pranayama (deep breathing) to reduce stress, a common trigger for psoriasis. Manage stress with meditation and relaxation techniques.
6. Ayurvedic Supplements
Triphala: Aids digestion and detoxification.
Guduchi: Supports the immune system and reduces inflammation.
Khadirarishta: An Ayurvedic tonic for blood purification.

Psoriasis on the feet can be so challenging, really makes everyday stuff like walking a true pain. First, let's look at the root of it. In Ayurveda, this usually involves an imbalance in Vata and sometimes Pitta doshas. When your Vata gets outta whack, dryness and cracking intensify. So, here’s what you can start doing:
First thing, hydration, hydration, hydration. Keep your feet moisturized. You can make a quick paste with sesame oil and a tiny pinch of turmeric. Sesame oil helps balance Vata, and turmeric has anti-inflammatory properties, which might calm your irritated skin. Just apply it gently to the affected areas twice a day, best in the morning and before bed.
Your diet can be supportive too. Warm foods are your best friend here. Think about incorporating ghee in your meals to lubricate tissues internally. Avoiding heavily spiced, fried, and overly processed foods is essential, as they can aggravate Pitta. Instead, opt for simple, home-cooked meals.
Make sure you get regular sleep - sounds simple but lack of sleep messes with your body's healing ability! Go to bed early, around 10 PM if you can.
Since stress can flare up psoriasis, maybe try meditation or some deep breathing exercises. Just take few minutes every day, sitting somewhere quiet, focusing on your breath.
Lastly, do take a look at your footwear. Make sure you're not wearing anything too tight, as this could lead to more irritation. Soft and natural fabric socks, with comfortable shoes, can sometimes make a big difference.
If your condition seems to be worsening or if it's really severe, don’t wait to consult a healthcare professional alongside these Ayurvedic tips. Sometimes, a blend of conventional and Ayurvedic treatment offers the best results.
