What Are the Best Siddha Treatments for Psoriasis? How Do They Compare to Ayurvedic Remedies? - #13371

Grace

I have been exploring Siddha medicine as an alternative treatment for psoriasis, and I want to know how it compares to Ayurvedic remedies for skin conditions. Siddha is an ancient system of medicine similar to Ayurveda but uses different herbal formulations and treatment protocols, often focused on healing from the inside out. Some of the most commonly recommended Siddha treatments for psoriasis include internal herbal remedies like Kachnar Guggulu, external applications like turmeric and neem-based oils, and panchakarma-like therapies for detoxification. I want to understand whether these treatments provide long-term relief from psoriasis symptoms like itching, scaling, and inflammation, or if they are temporary fixes. If anyone has tried Siddha treatments for psoriasis, please share your experience. Did the therapy help in reducing flare-ups, improving skin health, or managing symptoms? How long did it take to see noticeable results, and did it work alongside any Ayurvedic or modern treatments?

Siddha medicine, it's definetely an interesting approach, right? I totally get your curiosity about how it compares to Ayurveda, especially for something like psoriasis which can be seriously frustrating. Both systems actually have their roots in ancient Indian medicine, but Siddha uses different texts and techniques in contrast to Ayurveda's Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. Some treatments do overlap tho, turmeric and neem are like universal favs for skin issues! Kachnar Guggulu, which you mentioned, it’s used in both Ayurveda and Siddha, although in slightly varied forms perhaps. It really helps with reducing inflammation and clearing skin issues by balancing Kapha and Meda dhatus (fat tissues). But gotta say, for long-term relief, it’s all about understanding and addressing your unique dosha imbalances. From the Ayurveda perspective, psoriasis is considered as a kushtha, a chronic skin disease, linked to vitiated Vata and Kapha doshas. So, managing your diet plays a key role too. You'd want to avoid foods that are incompatible like sour and salty things, and focus on easily digestible, warm meals. Meanwhile, Siddha's detoxification processes, similar to Panchakarma, help flush out toxins or 'ama' from your body, something that can complement Ayurvedic treatments nicely, shouldn't be seen as a replacement tho. As for timelines, results can vary a lot from person to person. Some ppl notice changes in weeks, others take months, consistency is key. Siddha therapies might not always work like a one-stop-shop; you often have to give them some time and patience, and maybe combine therapies. If you've tried any Siddha treatments, maybe note down what seems to work for your skin and what doesn't. Have you spoke to a qualified Siddha practitioner? They could tailor something specifically for your needs which could work well alongside Ayurveda.
