Hello Niziini ji,

I understand your concern about your daughter’s skin condition. Psoriasis, especially around elbows, knees, and ankles, can be distressing even if it is not itchy, because of its spreading nature and appearance. But dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT

✅INTERNAL MEDICATION 1 Manjisthadi ks tab 2-0-2 after food 2 Pentaphte 1-0-1 after food 3 panchatikta guggulu ghrita 1 tsp at bed time followed by warm. Water

✅EXTERNAL CARE 1 triphala + nimba decoction- take 5 gm of each in 3 litre of water boil and reduce to half and use for washing the area

2 dry the area and apply 777 oil in day time and pentaphty ointment at bed time

✅GENERAL CARE

Keep the skin moisturized at all times (avoid dryness). Use lukewarm water for bathing (not hot). Avoid harsh soaps; use mild herbal cleansers or besan + turmeric paste instead. Do not scratch or peel the skin.

✅DIETARY ADVICE ( Important as skin is refection of good diet)

Include: Fresh vegetables (bitter gourd, neem leaves, drumstick, bottle gourd). Fruits like papaya, pomegranate, apple. Barley, old rice, green gram (moong dal). Warm water and light home-cooked food.

Avoid:

Excess curd, seafood, red meat. Sour foods (pickle, vinegar, fermented foods). Too much fried, oily, junk food. Cold drinks and ice cream.

✅LIFESTYLE AND YOGA

Reduce stress - Psoriasis often worsens with anxiety. Encourage meditation or deep breathing. Adequate sleep and regular routine.

Your daughter’s psoriasis is mild but spreading → needs early control.

Moisturize, avoid diet triggers, purify blood with herbs, and practice stress management.

Ayurveda offers long-term relief by correcting dosha imbalance and rakta dushti.

Wishing her a good health😊

Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

It sounds like your daughter is experiencing symptoms that align with a condition known as “Ekakushta” in Ayurveda, which closely resembles modern psoriasis. This condition is associated with imbalances in the Vata and Kapha doshas. Here are some steps you might consider to help manage these symptoms:

1. Dietary Modifications: Begin with avoiding foods that aggravate Vata and Kapha such as cold, dry, and processed foods. Encourage consumption of warm, cooked meals that are easy to digest. Consider incorporating spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel that promote digestion. Also, avoid heavy dairy items which can aggravate Kapha.

2. Herbal Remedies: Traditional Ayurvedic herbs like Tumeric and Neem are helpful for skin health. Turmeric can be consumed in milk or applied as a paste on the affected areas mixed with a little coconut oil. Neem can be taken in capsule form or used as a neem oil for topical application.

3. Oil Massage (Abhyanga): Regular oil massage with warm sesame or coconut oil can help balance Vata and provide nourishment to the skin. Do this daily before bath, gently massaging the affected areas.

4. Lifestyle Adjustments: Stress can exacerbate psoriasis, so incorporating yoga and meditation can be quite beneficial. Encourage activities that promote relaxation and mental balance.

5. Hydration and Moisturization: Drink plenty of water to keep the skin hydrated from within. Apply a natural moisturizer like aloe-vera gel after bathing to retain skin moisture.

6. Digestive Health (Agni): Ensure her digestion is optimal by avoiding heavy meals and promoting regular detoxification. Triphala powder at bedtime is a good option, it’s traditionally used to maintain digestive health.

7. Professional Consultation: Since conditions like psoriasis might require ongoing management, it’s advisable to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide a personalized treatment plan based on your daughter’s specific constitution and symptoms.

Remember, while these Ayurvedic practices can benefit and may reduce symptoms, they are complementary. Please do consult with a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen.

Based on the description, it seems like your daughter may be experiencing symptoms of psoriasis. In Siddha-Ayurvedic terms, this condition is often linked to an imbalance of Pitta and Vata doshas. The skin becomes thick and dark due to the accumulation of toxins (ama) and effects on rasa and rakta dhatus (the fluid and blood tissues). Here are some practical steps you can take:

One important aspect is diet modification. Encourage her to avoid spicy, fried, and overly oily foods, as well as packaged and processed goods. Incorporate more fresh vegetables and fruits, with an emphasis on bitter, astringent and sweet tastes—in particular, vegetables like bitter gourd and greens to help balance Pitta. Include ghee (clarified butter) in moderation to nourish tissues and support the body’s balance.

Additionally, a herbal oil like neem oil or coconut oil with turmeric can be soothing. She can apply it to the affected areas twice a day. These oils have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties which may help reduce the thickening and spread.

It’s also beneficial to practice pranayama and yoga, focusing on calming and cooling practices such as Sheetali and Anulom Vilom breathing exercises. These can help to balance the internal energies and reduce stress, which can be a trigger for psoriasis flare-ups.

Internal cleansing is useful too. Regular intake of Triphala churna before bed can help in detoxifying the system and support digestive health—be sure to start with small doses and increase based on tolerance.

Ensure she stays hydrated by drinking enough water throughout the day to assist in flushing out toxins.

Before starting any new regimen or if symptoms worsen, please consult a local Ayurveda practitioner or a healthcare provider to tailor an approach suitable to her specific needs. Remember, regular monitoring and adjustments are key for managing chronic conditions like this safely.
