Can scalp psoriasis be healed ? - #26691

hello Krish Ramanani ,

I understand how frustrating and uncomfortable scalp psoriasis can be, especially when it has been affecting you for such a long time and gradually spreading to new areas. Psoriasis is a condition where your skin cells grow faster than normal, leading to thick, scaly patches that itch and sometimes cause discomfort. In Ayurveda, this is seen as a disturbance of the Pitta and Kapha doshas causing skin inflammation and dryness. Though psoriasis can be challenging, with consistent and tailored Ayurvedic care, it is possible to manage symptoms effectively and reduce flare-ups, improving your quality of life. The key is to balance your internal system first, calm the aggravated doshas, and support skin healing with natural herbs and lifestyle adjustments.

I would like to understand more about your current lifestyle, diet, any triggers you have noticed, and your daily skin care routine. Also, are you experiencing itching, scaling, or any other symptoms beyond the scalp? This will help me suggest the best approach for you.

Meanwhile, I recommend starting with gentle detoxification and calming of Pitta and Kapha doshas through internal medicines and external therapies suited to your skin type.

Prescription:

Start with Amapachana (digestive support) to reduce internal toxins using medicines like Triphala churna 3 grams twice daily with warm water before meals. Internal medicines such as Mahamanjishthadi kwatha 40 ml twice daily after meals to reduce inflammation and purify the blood. Neem capsules 500 mg twice daily as it helps control skin infections and inflammation. For external application, use Neem and turmeric paste or an Ayurvedic medicated oil like Khadiradi taila gently applied to the scalp daily before washing. Keep your scalp clean but avoid harsh shampoos; use mild herbal shampoos like those with Shikakai and Amla. Avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods that may aggravate Pitta; focus on fresh, cooling, and nourishing foods. Practice stress-relief methods like gentle yoga and meditation as stress can worsen psoriasis. Investigations: Basic blood tests to rule out any other inflammation or infection. Skin biopsy or dermatologist’s follow-up if needed for detailed assessment. With patience and regular Ayurvedic care, you will see gradual improvement in symptoms and fewer new patches over time. This approach supports healing from within, helping you regain comfort and confidence. Please feel free to share more details or questions. I am here to help you on this journey to better health.

Warm regards, Dr. Karthika
