Psoriasis & Skin Diseases

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, offers a holistic approach to the treatment of psoriasis and various skin diseases. According to Ayurvedic principles, psoriasis is believed to be caused by an imbalance in the doshas, particularly an aggravation of the Vata and Kapha doshas. The treatment approach in Ayurveda focuses on restoring this balance through a combination of dietary changes, lifestyle modifications, and herbal remedies. Diet plays a crucial role in Ayurvedic treatment for psoriasis. Patients are advised to avoid spicy, sour, and fermented foods, as well as certain vegetables like tomatoes and eggplants. Instead, they are encouraged to consume easily digestible foods, such as green leafy vegetables, bitter gourds, and fruits like pomegranates.
