What Is Plaque Psoriasis and How Can Ayurveda Help in Managing Psoriasis Naturally? - #16187

I was recently diagnosed with plaque psoriasis, a chronic autoimmune condition that causes red, scaly patches on my skin. I want to understand more about plaque psoriasis, its causes, and whether Ayurveda offers natural remedies to manage the condition and reduce flare-ups. From what I understand, plaque psoriasis occurs when the immune system mistakenly accelerates the production of skin cells, leading to the buildup of scales and inflammation. But what I do not fully understand is what triggers flare-ups and whether diet, stress, or environmental factors play a significant role. Can poor gut health or toxicity in the body contribute to plaque psoriasis? I’ve read that Ayurveda views psoriasis as an imbalance in the body's internal systems, particularly an excess of Pitta dosha, which can lead to inflammation and skin conditions. Are there Ayurvedic remedies, such as Neem, Turmeric, or Guduchi, that help in reducing inflammation and calming the skin? Does Ayurveda recommend detoxification practices, such as Panchakarma, to cleanse the body and improve skin health? Another thing I am wondering about is whether diet can play a role in managing plaque psoriasis. Should I avoid foods that trigger inflammation, such as dairy and processed foods, while incorporating more anti-inflammatory foods like ginger, garlic, and green leafy vegetables? If anyone has successfully managed plaque psoriasis using Ayurvedic remedies or natural approaches, I would love to hear what worked. I want to explore holistic ways to manage my skin condition and improve overall health.
