Psoriasis, in Ayurveda, is considered a result of an imbalance in the *Vata* and *Pitta* doshas, often aggravated by toxins (*ama*) in the body. While it may not be fully curable, it can be effectively managed and controlled with Ayurvedic treatments. Key approaches include detoxifying the body with Panchakarma, using herbs like *Guduchi*, *Aloe Vera*, *Turmeric*, and *Manjistha* to reduce inflammation, and balancing the doshas through a tailored diet and lifestyle. Topical treatments with oils such as *Sesame oil* or *Neem oil* can soothe irritated skin. A diet that avoids triggers like spicy, oily foods and alcohol, along with stress management practices, can also support long-term relief. It's important to consult an Ayurvedic doctor for a personalized plan to manage and control psoriasis effectively.

Psoriasis can be quite a challenging condition to manage, I totally understand how frustrating it can get. Although there's a lot of difference in opinions, technically psoriasis isn't considered "curable" in the allopathic sense, but there are ways in Ayurveda to manage and ideally reduce your symptoms significantly and prevent flare-ups.
Ayurveda views psoriasis as an imbalance of Vata and Kapha doshas, with Ama accumulation—a kinda toxic buildup in the body. To address this, you can start by adjusting your diet and lifestyle to suit your prakriti (individual constitution).
Focus on eating a Kapha and Vata-pacifying diet. This means, warm and moist foods, that's easier to digest. Include things like cooked vegetables, whole grains like rice and barley, and avoid processed foods, heavy dairy, and cold foods that could amplify doshic imbalances. Drinking warm ginger tea can also help to digest the ama.
Daily self-massage with warm sesame oil or a herbal oil like Mahamarichyadi taila might help you with calming down irritated skin and balancing out Vata. Take it slow and allow the oil to absorb in your skin before rinsing it off with lukewarm water.
Practice of yoga and pranayama also plays a tremendous role—calm your mind, reduce stress, and perhaps help in balancing your doshas. Gentle asanas and deep-breathing exercises can ease stress, which often triggers psoriatic flare-ups.
Avoid stressors where possible and try to get enough sleep. Sound like a simple thing, but stressful lifestyle can contribute to flare-ups.
If you're open to it, you might want to consider Panchakarma, a thorough cleanse. But only under supervision of a competent Ayurvedic practitioner, it's a bit intense on your own.
It's essential to tailor these remedies to your specific situation, remember this journey works best with patience and persistence. Seeing a skilled Ayurvedic practitioner can really help to create a personalized plan for you. Be gentle with yourself, healing is a process, not a sprint.
