Your symptoms suggest a Kapha and Vata imbalance, leading to skin sensitivity and conditions like psoriasis, which is exacerbated by exposure to detergents and chemicals. To manage this, Ayurvedic treatment focuses on internal detoxification and external nourishment.
Internally, take Mahamanjishthadi Kadha or Khadirarishta (20 ml with equal water after meals) to purify the blood and reduce inflammation. Gandhak Rasayan tablets can be taken to enhance skin health and reduce itching and flaking. For psoriasis specifically, Arogyavardhini Vati is beneficial in balancing Pitta and Kapha and improving skin conditions.
Externally, apply Kumkumadi Taila or Coconut oil mixed with Turmeric to soothe cracked skin and reduce inflammation. For affected areas, use Jatyadi Taila for healing and preventing infection. Avoid harsh soaps and detergents; instead, use Ayurvedic soaps like Chandanalepa or natural alternatives like gram flour and curd for cleansing.
Dietary adjustments, such as reducing spicy, oily, and processed foods, while including more bitter and astringent foods like neem, turmeric, and green leafy vegetables, can support healing. Practice stress-reducing activities like meditation and pranayama, as stress can aggravate psoriasis. Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized care.

At 26 years old, experiencing cracked hands and psoriasis, particularly in response to detergents, soaps, and other chemicals, suggests a heightened sensitivity or allergic reaction that may exacerbate your skin condition. In Ayurveda, skin issues such as these can be linked to an imbalance in the Pitta and Kapha doshas, which may lead to inflammation, dryness, and other skin ailments.
To manage and alleviate these symptoms, it is essential to adopt a holistic approach. First, it is advisable to minimize exposure to harsh chemicals by opting for natural, hypoallergenic, and fragrance-free soaps and detergents. When handling cleaning products, wearing protective gloves can help shield your skin from irritants.
Incorporating a nourishing skincare routine is crucial. Regularly applying natural oils such as coconut oil, almond oil, or sesame oil can provide moisture and help repair the skin barrier. These oils have anti-inflammatory properties and can soothe irritation. For the psoriasis areas, using a paste of Turmeric and Neem can be beneficial due to their potent anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Mixing turmeric powder with water to create a paste and applying it to the affected areas can help reduce redness and irritation.
Internally, focusing on a diet that balances the Pitta dosha is essential. Include cooling foods such as cucumbers, melons, leafy greens, and yogurt, while avoiding spicy, oily, and processed foods that can aggravate skin conditions. Herbal supplements like Aloe Vera and Gugglu can also support skin health from the inside out.
Additionally, managing stress through techniques such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises can be beneficial, as stress often exacerbates skin issues

Dealing with cracked hands and psoriasis sounds challenging, especially when it flares up with detergents and soaps. Let’s explore a few practical Ayurvedic ways to help ease your symptoms.
Firstly, it’s good to minimize contact with harsh chemicals as much as possible. Opt for natural cleansers—think soap nuts (reetha) or green gram flour (moong dal). They're gentler on skin and won't aggravate your condition. When doing chores, it can be helpful to wear gloves too (even though it might be a bit annoying).
Now, about psoriasis—it’s usually linked to imbalances in Pitta and Vata doshas, so cooling and soothing the body is key. Focus on consuming foods that pacify Pitta, like coconut water, sweet fruits, and lots of greens, while avoiding spicy foods, alcohol, and caffeine. Keep meals light but nourishing, easy on the oil and spices.
Turmeric paste can be really beneficial for applying topically, with its anti-inflammatory properties. Mix turmeric powder with a bit of water or coconut oil and gently apply it to the affected areas. Leave it on for about 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water. Regularly doing this can reduce inflammation and help with healing.
Hydration is non-negotiable here! Make sure to drink plenty of water, possibly with a touch of cooling herbs like mint or coriander. Adding a tablespoon of aloe vera juice on an empty stomach each morning could help soothe the gut and promote healthier skin from the inside out.
In terms of herbs, Licorice (Mulethi) can be a friend—whether in tablet form or as an infusion. Engage in calming activities like yoga or meditation—these practices can calm Vata disturbances and reduce stress, which often triggers flare-ups.
It's crucial to keep in mind that severe symptoms or lingering issues need evaluation by a healthcare professional. Ayurveda focuses on natural healing, but sometimes, particularly with severe skin conditions, you might need integrative approaches. Better to see someone if it gets worse, yeah?
