I’ve seen a lot of people asking the same, Patanjali products like Divya Kayakalp Vati have been popular for psoriasis. It has potential, but let’s get into the heart of it. Ayurveda looks at psoriasis as a buildup of toxins (ama), usually due to imbalances in the doshas. Especially, Vata and Kapha may play a big role here.
You want to not just treat the symptoms – the patches, itchiness – but address root… To see the full benefits of any Ayurvedic treatment, think lifestyle changes too. It can take some time, maybe weeks to months, to see significant change. Not an overnight fix, though.
About the potential side effects? Most Ayurvedic products, if used correctly, tend to have fewer side effect than conventional medication. But, you should be aware of your own body’s reaction. Start slow. Maybe do a patch test with the creams. Look out for anything unusual.
Now about diet, try focusing on light, easy-to-digest foods. Avoid heavy, oily, or overly processed stuff that can aggravate Kapha. Warm, simple meals, with spices like turmeric, ginger, cumin might help balance things out. And, hydrate. But not icy-cold water. Think room temp or warm.
Mind and body, both need nurturing. Stress, surprisingly enough, can make psoriasis worse—so find something to relax, maybe yoga? Pranayama or some focused breathing can work wonders.
Oh, one more thing, relationship with sunshine. It might be healing, but don’t overdo it. A little Vitamin D can be helpful, but careful with too much exposure.
Lastly, you mention winter… be sure to keep skin moisturized, which is vital. Natural oils like coconut or sesame can be a good ally during those chillier months.
Remember, it’s about holistic management. While Patanjali products can be part of this, they ain’t a magic bullet. Keep tending to your overall wellbeing—diet, stress levels, sleep—and that might be the most powerful tool. Always track how your body responds and adjust accordingly.
