Your concerns about the psoriasis causing skin troubles are understandable, especially when allopathic treatments seem ineffective. In Ayurveda, psoriasis is often associated with an imbalance of the doshas, particularly the Vata and Kapha doshas. This imbalance, along with impaired agni (digestive fire), can lead to accumulation of toxins (ama) in the body, exacerbating skin conditions.
First off, let's discuss dietary changes. It’s advisable to avoid foods that aggravate Vata and Kapha doshas. Cold, dry, and processed foods are generally best avoided. Try to steer clear of red meat, dairy, fried foods, and excessive sugar, as they can worsen inflammation. Instead, focus on warm, cooked meals to nurture your agni. A diet rich in colorful vegetables, whole grains like mung beans, and healthy fats like ghee can be beneficial.
Hydration, however, is key. Drinking warm water throughout the day can help flush out toxins. Herbal teas with turmeric and ginger could also support digestion and reduce inflammation.
Topical applications can also help soothe affected areas. Coconut oil or sesame oil, warmed slightly, can be massaged gently into the skin. Mahamarichyadi Taila is another Ayurvedic oil traditionally used for its cooling effect on such conditions.
Managing stress is vital as well. Daily routines like yoga and meditation can harmonize the mind-body connection, helping to alleviate stress-induced flare-ups. If your lifestyle allows, consider Abhyanga (self-massage) with warm oils, which not only calms Vata but also enhances lymphatic drainage.
Bear in mind, keep up with seeking professional medical advice and work closely with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide personalized guidance. These suggestions should integrate smoothly into your lifestyle and bring some relief but they are adjunctive to mainstream treatment if needed.
