For psoriasis on the scalp and toes, combining internal remedies, topical treatments, and Panchakarma therapy can provide a comprehensive Ayurvedic approach to manage the condition and prevent it from spreading.
Ayurvedic Approach:
1. Internal Remedies:
Mahamanjishtadi Kwath: Reduces inflammation and detoxifies the blood. Take 20-30 ml twice a day.
Triphala Churna: Balances doshas and promotes healthy skin. Take 1 tsp at night with warm water.
Kutaj Ghan Vati: Controls inflammation and relieves skin flare-ups. Take 1-2 tablets twice a day.
2. Topical Remedies:
Brahmi Oil: Apply to affected areas like the scalp for soothing and healing.
Neem Oil: Apply to reduce inflammation and itching.
Aloe Vera Gel: Soothes and reduces redness and irritation.
3. Diet and Lifestyle:
Follow a Pitta-pacifying diet with cooling foods like cucumbers, coconut, and leafy greens.
Include anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, ginger, and omega-3-rich foods.
Practice stress management techniques such as yoga, meditation, and pranayama to calm the mind.
4. Panchakarma Therapy:
Virechana (Purgation): Helps detoxify the body and remove excess Pitta, which can help in reducing inflammation and clearing skin conditions like psoriasis.
Abhyanga (Oil Massage): A gentle, warming oil massage with sesame oil or Brahmi oil helps nourish the skin and balance the doshas.
Shirodhara: This therapy involves pouring warm herbal oil on the forehead to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and promote relaxation, which can benefit skin health.
Basti (Enema): Specific herbal enemas may be used to detoxify the digestive system and balance the doshas, reducing psoriasis flare-ups linked to internal toxins.
Conclusion:
A Panchakarma treatment plan, along with internal medicines, topical treatments, and a healthy lifestyle, can significantly help in managing and controlling psoriasis. Consulting an Ayurvedic doctor for personalized guidance and Panchakarma therapy is essential for the best results.

Ah, psoriasis can be quite pesky, isn’t it? It might spread or stay put, but its unpredictability is one of its quirks. In Ayurveda, we like to dive a bit deeper, seeing it as a kapha and vata imbalance mainly mixed with pitta. Irregular digestion—your agni, or digestive fire—could play a role too.
First thing’s first, diet's a biggie. Focus on foods that are light and easy on digestion—consider warm, cooked meals. You'd wanna avoid anything heavy or oily; no processed foods, please. Adding some turmeric to your food can help, it's great for inflammation. Remember to drink warm water throughout the day to aid digestion.
For your scalp and toe, external application can be beneficial. Sesame oil mixed with a pinch of turmeric can work wonders. You can massage a gentle amount onto the affected areas, leave it for about 30 minutes, and rinse it with warm water. Keep it regular for the results to show, maybe daily if it's manageable with your routine.
Lifestyle? Keeping stress at bay is essential. Meditation or gentle yoga can be excellent tools; they help balance vata which might be at play here. Pranayama, especially alternate nostril breathing, can be calming and grounding.
For tackling any flare-ups, visiting an Ayurvedic practitioner could give more personalized insights. Especially if you’re juggling with severe symptoms—sometimes, a tailored regimen is just what's needed. Oh, and focusing on regular detoxification, say through panchakarma therapies, might provide relief.
Another thing quickly, tailor these tips to suit your body's needs. Listen to your body, and adjust as need be. And of course, if any severe changes happen, don't hesitate to see a healthcare professional!
