hello Haresh B Dorila,
Thank you for sharing your concerns. Based on your symptoms night itching all over the body, dry skin, recurring flare-ups, psoriasis on the leg, and scalp scaling or dandruff (possibly seborrheic dermatitis or scalp psoriasis) this appears to be a chronic Vata-Kapha skin disorder with deep-seated Ama (toxins) and disturbed Rakta and Mamsa Dhatu (blood and skin tissue). Since it’s persisted for more than 6 years, this is a Dushta Kustha condition in Ayurveda, which requires systematic cleansing and internal immune correction, not just creams.
Your skin is reacting from within it’s not just a surface problem. Psoriasis and dry skin like this come from long-standing imbalances in your immunity and digestion. The itching at night and repeated flare-ups mean your body hasn’t cleared out the root toxins (Ama). Just applying oils or creams won’t fix it. We need to calm the immune system, improve blood quality, reduce internal heat (Pitta), and strengthen skin tissues.
Treatment Plan
1. Ama Pachana (First 5 Days) Start with digestive detox: Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water (to cleanse bowel and remove toxins) Panchakola Churna or Hingvashtaka Churna – ½ tsp with warm water before meals Light diet: Rice gruel (Yavagu), moong dal soup, bottle gourd sabzi
2. Internal Medications (From Day 6 onwards) Arogyavardhini Vati – 2 tablets twice daily after meals (liver cleansing, skin healing) Gandhaka Rasayana – 250 mg twice daily with honey (detox skin and reduce itching) Panchtikta Ghrita Guggulu – 1 tablet morning and evening (deep healing of psoriasis and tissue) Mahamanjishtadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal warm water before meals (blood purifier)
3. External Application Nimbadi Tailam – Apply to body at night, especially legs and scalp; leave overnight or wash after 1 hour Karanj Tailam or Psorolin oil (if itching severe) – alternate night For scalp: Apply Neelibhringadi Tailam or Keshya Taila 3 times/week before bath
4. Diet and Lifestyle No curd, fried food, dairy, sugar, bakery, red meat, alcohol Avoid bath with hot water — use lukewarm water only Add turmeric, neem leaves, and amla to diet Wear cotton clothes and avoid synthetic fabric Sleep before 10.30 pm daily, don’t skip meals
Investigations Advised CBC + ESR Liver Function Test Fasting Blood Sugar Serum Vitamin D3 and B12 KOH test or Skin Biopsy (if diagnosis of psoriasis not confirmed yet)
This is a chronic autoimmune issue, but with correct detox and support, the flare-ups and symptoms can be controlled and gradually reversed. Ayurvedic care is highly effective for long-term skin issues like this with patience and consistency.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

HELLO HARESH,
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition causing scaly, itchy, and inflamed patches of skin. In Ayurveda, it is usually correlated with kitibha or ekakushta, which are types of skin disease, and is caused by imbalance in vata and kapha doshas, with blood and skin tissue involvement.

2) RASA MANIKYA + GUDUCHI SATVA = rasa manikya-125mg + guduchi satva- 250 mg= mix with honey once daily morning for 1 month =reduces flare ups and clear deeper toxins
3) AROGYAVARDHINI RAS- 250 mg with water for 1 month =powerful detox of liver, gallbladder and skin tissues, creams toxic buildup
4) SARIVDI VATI= 2 tabs twice daily for 3 months = cool blood and relieves chronic itching
5) TIKTAKA GHRITA= 1 tsp in warm milk empty stomach for 1-3 months =deeply nourishes tissues, reduces vata-pitta skin inflammation.
6) BAKUCHI CAPSULE= 1 cap with hone once daily = stimulates skin regeneration and pigment
EXTERNAL OIL APPLICATION
-BAKUCHI TAILA= especially good in red, inflamed patches apply gently on lesion after bath
-ALOEVERA GEL= at night if itching is severe
DIET AND LIFESTYLE EAT -moong dal rice cooked veggies -ghee -bitter veggies -fruits= pomegranate, apples
AVOID -curd, milk with salty /spicy foods -non veg - fermented foods= pickles, cheese, bakery -cold water, refrigerated items -junk food, processed sugars
LIFESTYLE TIPS - avoid stress -moderate sun exposure -avoid daytime sleeping and staying up late at night -keep the skin moisturised
THANK YOU
DR. HEMANSHU MEHTA
Namaste Haresh ji,
I understand you’ve been struggling with dry, itchy skin and psoriasis-like symptoms for over 6 years. This can be both uncomfortable and emotionally draining — but the good news is, Ayurveda offers a deep and long-lasting solution.
Rather than just giving temporary relief, our goal is to treat the root cause by balancing your doshas, purifying the blood, and improving skin health from within.
Here’s What I Recommend: Panchakarma (Body Detox) This is the first step to remove built-up toxins from your system:
Vaman (therapeutic emesis): Clears excess Kapha and skin toxins — very helpful when there’s thick scaling or chronic skin irritation.
Raktamokshan (bloodletting): Especially for psoriasis patches on the leg — helps purify the blood and reduce itching and inflammation.
These are classical, time-tested Ayurvedic therapies and work very well in chronic skin conditions.
Internal Medicines (For Ongoing Support) Aragwadhadi Kashaya – 20ML —0— 20ML
Kaishore Guggulu – 250 MG 1–0–1
Arogyavardhini Vati – 250 MG 1–0—1
Avipattikar Churna – 3 GM ( AT BED TIME)
External Application Lippu Ointment – Apply twice daily on dry, scaly, or itchy areas to soothe and soften the skin.
Lumina Shampoo – Use 2–3 times a week to reduce scalp flaking and dryness.
Diet & Lifestyle Guidance Your food and habits affect your skin directly. Please follow:
Eat: – Warm, homemade meals – Moong dal, old rice, bitter vegetables like neem or karela – Use turmeric and drink warm water
Avoid: – Curd, fish, eggs, fried and spicy foods – Cold drinks, packaged snacks – Sleeping during the day or staying up late at night – Harsh soaps or chemical creams
Before starting the above treatment, I strongly recommend that you consult a nearby qualified Ayurvedic doctor. It is important that your skin is seen in person, your Prakriti (body type) and current condition assessed properly, and your medicines adjusted accordingly.
Every person is different — and Ayurvedic treatment works best when it’s personalized.
Wishing you strength and complete healing ahead. With the right approach and discipline, your skin can become healthy again — naturally and from the inside out
Hi haresh this is Dr Vinayak as considering your problem… See as you are facing skin related problems since many days it mainly due to vitiation of rasa and rakta dusti in the body… To correct that best of best treatment is one sitting of classical VIRECHANA…it really helps to lot of changes in the body
Only trying medicine will not give you sudden result…so take virechana near by hospital along with oral medicine definitely get to see changes in your problem… Thank you…
For skin problems that have persisted over 6 years, particularly with conditions like psoriasis on the right leg and dry skin, Ayurveda’s holistic approach can offer potential relief. This approach considers the imbalance of doshas, namely Vata and Pitta, which might be contributing to your symptoms like skin itching during night, and dry skin on the scalp. Let’s focus on bringing them into balance.
Firstly, diet plays a significant role. Focus on incorporating cooling and calming foods to pacify Pitta. Cucumber, coconut water, sweet fruits like melons, and leafy greens should be staples. Additionally, to address Vata, consume warm, hydrating foods like soups and stews, cooked vegetables, and whole grains. Avoid foods that are processed, excessively spicy or sour, as these can aggravate Pitta and worsen the condition.
For topical care, apply coconut oil or sesame oil to your skin daily. These oils can be gently warmed and massaged in circular motions before bath to soothe and moisturize the skin. After application, take a lukewarm water bath. Post-bath, ensure the skin is gently patted dry and moisturized again while slightly damp.
Consider herbal remedies as well. Turmeric is highly beneficial due to its anti-inflammatory properties. It can be taken internally with warm milk or as a paste with water applied directly to affected areas. Aloe vera gel is soothing for the scalp and skin and may reduce dryness and irritation, so it can be used after washing your hair.
It’s also crucial to manage stress and ensure a healthy digestive system, both of which contribute to skin health. Practicing yoga and meditation can help in reducing stress, and thus manage Pitta aggravation. Consume triphala at night which aids in cleaning the digestive system and improves overall health.
Lastly, ensure you’re drinking plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated internally. Pitta and Vata will often lead the body to dehydration, which reflects outwardly as dry, itchy skin. By addressing these aspects, you should notice gradual improvements, however, given the chronic nature of your condition, regular follow-up with an Ayurvedic practitioner is advised to tailor more specific treatments to your profile.
The skin issues you’re describing, including itching, psoriasis, and dryness, suggest an imbalance primarily in the Vata dosha, which, according to Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, is associated with dryness and turbulence. To address these chronic skin issues, dietary adjustments and lifestyle changes, along with medicinal preparations, can be useful.
Firstly, focus on improving your diet. Vata-pacifying foods include warm, moist, and grounding meals. Favor cooked vegetables, whole grains like rice and oatmeal, and healthy fats such as ghee and sesame oil. Avoid cold, dry, and raw foods, as well as caffeine and alcohol, as these can aggravate Vata.
Incorporate daily self-massage with warmed sesame oil to help hydrate and soothe the skin. This can be done before a warm shower to help balance Vata and nourish the skin. Herbal baths might also be beneficial; you can add neem leaves or turmeric powder to your bath water for their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
Hydration is important – drink warm water or herbal teas, like chamomile or ginger tea, throughout the day to keep your system detoxified. Also, regularity in sleep and stress management through techniques like meditation or yoga can help stabilize Vata.
For the psorias health concern, consider using external applications of Ayurvedic formulations like Mahatiktaka Ghrita or Neem oil. However, it is key to work with an Ayurvedic practitioner to determine the proper use, as self-prescription can be unsafe.
If symptoms worsen or significantly interfere with daily life, don’t delay consulting with a health professional, as these conditions could require more immediate interventions for relief and prevent complications.
