Hello pralov Kumar Sahu ,
I understand how difficult it can be to live with psoriasis, especially when it affects sensitive areas like your feet and palms. The dryness, cracking, and pain you’re experiencing are common with this condition, but there are ways to manage it and improve your comfort over time. Psoriasis is a chronic condition where your skin cells grow too quickly, leading to thick, scaly patches that can be itchy and painful. The key is to gently care for your skin, reduce inflammation, and support your body’s natural healing.
Ayurveda approaches this by balancing your body’s doshas, especially calming the aggravated Pitta and Kapha, which are often responsible for skin issues. Along with medicines, it’s important to keep your skin moisturized and avoid triggers like harsh soaps, stress, and extreme weather.
Here is a simple treatment plan you can follow to help improve your psoriasis symptoms on your feet and palms:
Internal Medicines:
Mahatiktaka Ghrita: 15 ml with warm water, twice daily after meals, for 1 month Patoladi Kwatha: 40 ml twice daily before meals, for 1 month Guduchi Powder: 1 gm twice daily with warm water, for 1 month
External Application:
Apply Neem oil or Mahamarichyadi oil on the affected areas twice daily after cleaning. Gently massage and leave it on. Use a mild, herbal soap like Neem soap for cleaning, avoid harsh detergents.
Skin Care Advice:
Keep your feet and palms clean and moisturized. Avoid scratching. Wear cotton socks and comfortable shoes to reduce friction. Avoid hot water while washing; use lukewarm water instead.
Dietary and Lifestyle Advice:
Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods that aggravate Pitta. Increase intake of fresh fruits, vegetables, and plenty of water. Manage stress with meditation or gentle yoga.
Investigations to consider:
Complete blood count (CBC) to rule out infections or other issues Skin biopsy if diagnosis is uncertain or to monitor progression
With consistent treatment and care, symptoms can improve, and flare-ups reduce. Psoriasis is a manageable condition, and Ayurveda offers a natural, holistic way to support your skin and overall health.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika
