Suffering from seborrheic psoriasis can indeed be challenging, especially when conventional treatments don’t deliver lasting relief. Ayurveda views psoriasis primarily as an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Pitta and Kapha, impacting your skin and blood. Addressing this condition involves harmonizing doshas, supporting your digestion, and purifying the blood. Your condition involves an oily scalp along with white flakes. Shaving seems to provide temporary relief because it helps in removing the affected layer. However, let's delve into some Ayurvedic perspectives and remedies you might consider integrating into your routine. To start with diet, since your symptoms hint at Pitta and Kapha imbalance, it’s good to focus on lighter foods, such as boiled vegetables, and whole grains. Include bitter-tasting foods like bitter gourd and neem leaves, which are traditionally known for detoxifying properties. Avoid dairy, sugary foods, and processed items that might aggravate Kapha. Taking Triphala, a classic Ayurvedic remedy, can support digestion and aid in detoxing the system. Consider taking powdered Triphala with warm water at night, not too much, just about a teaspoonful. Externally, you might try applying coconut oil infused with neem or turmeric onto the scalp. Both are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and might help calm and soothe your skin. Let it sit for a couple of hours before washing. Remembering consistency is key here, and Ayurveda often works over weeks or months, rather than days. Try incorporating yoga and pranayama to relieve stress, which can sometimes exacerbate psoriasis. For personalized guidance and just to make sure any approach is safe for you, especially if you've other medical conditions, it might be great idea to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner in person. A comprehensive plan tailored specifically to you could make the difference.
