Hello Mr. Harsh,
The cause of psoriasis in Ayurveda is improper digestion, leading to the formation of (toxins). These toxins accumulate in the body and disturb the balance of the doshas, causing them to manifest as skin disorders. Unhealthy dietary habits, stress, lack of exercise, and environmental factors can further aggravate the condition. As per the symptoms you have presented here, majorly there is imbalance of Kapha and Vata doshas. I suggest you to take up a panchakarma detox program under the guidance of a panchakarma specialist, from Ayurveda hospital near you. Meanwhile you can start with below mentioned remedies. 1… Tab Arogyavardhini vati 1 tab thrice a day with lukewarm water after food. 2.Mahamanjishthadi Kwatha 4 tsp diluted with equal quantity of water twice a day after meal. 3. Apply Eladi taila on scalp twice a week, this will reduce the flakiness and irritation on the scalp skin. 4.Apply a paste of Sandalwood powder mixed with rosewater and milk. Apply as a facepack , let it stay for 15 mins and then rinse it off with only water, avoid using soap. 5.Dietary recommendations: Avoid oily , spicy and dry foods, specially dairy products. Include bitter foods like bitter gourd, fenugreek sprouts, fenugreek soaked water , consumed on an empty stomach will give excellent results in a week. 6.Stay Hydrated. 7. Avoid using harsh shampoos , use milk cleansing shampoos like Trichup . 8. Keep your stress levels in check, through regular sleep timings, mindfulness, meditation , breathing practices, as high stress levels can flare up the symptoms . Not to worry. Early intervention and lifestyle modifications will definitely help.
Addressing your concerns can be quite a journey, as it relates to both your skin and hair health. Let’s delve into an Ayurvedic approach, aiming to rebalance your body and mind, considering each aspect of your condition.
For acne and scars, Ayurveda suggests a tridoshic approach. Begin by evaluating your diet; eliminate all processed foods, excessive oils, salts and sugars. Consume a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly those high in Vitamin C like citrus and amla, which aid skin repair. Turmeric, which has anti-inflammatory properties, can be taken in small doses (1/2 teaspoon mixed with milk or warm water) daily to purify the blood. It may take time, so be patient with the process. Apply a paste of sandalwood, turmeric, and a little water or rose water to acne and scars - it helps soothe and heal naturally.
Regarding whiteheads and blackheads, steaming your face twice a week with neem-infused water can help open up the pores and cleanse away impurities. Post-steaming, use a gentle homemade scrub of chickpea flour (besan) and a pinch of turmeric to clear the skin.
Addressing scalp issues; it’s essential to maintain a clean and healthy scalp. Wash your hair regularly with a gentle herbal shampoo containing ingredients like neem or shikakai. Massaging your scalp with warm coconut or almond oil infused with rosemary essential oil can improve blood circulation and potentially reduce psoriasis-like symptoms.
For premature greying, it’s often linked to imbalances in the doshas, with Pitta being primary here. Incorporating Bhringraj oil for scalp massage, along with regular consumption of Amla in your diet, can support hair health. As internal balance reflects external changes, include Ashwagandha and Brahmi as adaptogenic herbs that support overall wellbeing.
Remember that any significant changes or conditions like potential psoriasis should be examined and treated by an Ayurveda professional in person, or consider consultation with a dermatologist if symptoms persist or worsen. Luminaries like the Charaka Samhita recommend holistic health practices for long-lasting results, which encapsulates your lifestyle, diet, and stress management in modulation with Ayurveda’s tridosha framework.
