How Effective Is Ayurvedic Treatment for Scalp Psoriasis? Can It Provide Long-Term Relief? - #13361

Anonymously

I have been dealing with scalp psoriasis and am interested in exploring Ayurvedic treatments to manage symptoms like itching, flaking, and inflammation. I’ve heard that Ayurveda focuses on treating the root causes of psoriasis, such as Pitta and Kapha imbalances, rather than just suppressing the symptoms. Some of the most commonly recommended Ayurvedic treatments for scalp psoriasis include Panchakarma detox (for cleansing the body), herbal oils like Mahamarichadi Tailam and Neem oil (for topical application), and blood-purifying herbs like Manjistha and Triphala. I’m curious whether these treatments offer long-term relief from flare-ups, or if they primarily help with temporary symptom management. If anyone has undergone Ayurvedic treatment for scalp psoriasis, please share your experience. Did it help with reducing scaling, itching, and inflammation? How long did it take to see improvements, and were there any lifestyle or dietary changes recommended along with the treatment?

Ayurvedic treatments for scalp psoriasis focus on detoxification, reducing inflammation, and balancing Pitta and Kapha doshas. Therapies like Panchakarma, Neem oil, Mahamarichadi Tailam, and blood-purifying herbs like Manjistha and Triphala help manage symptoms and prevent flare-ups. Many people report reduced scaling, itching, and inflammation within a few weeks to months of consistent treatment. Long-term relief often depends on dietary changes (avoiding spicy, oily foods), stress management, and following Ayurvedic lifestyle recommendations.
