Psoriasis is a chronic and recurrent skin disease
characterized by itchy, inflamed, scaly patches which may cover a major part of
the skin. This disease is believed to be an autoimmune disorder, in which the
body’s immune system itself targets some specific organs or systems in the
body, causing inflammation and damage. Inflammation, itching and recurrent
breakout of skin rash can cause serious psychological stress, which can further
aggravate and fuel the condition.
Ayurvedic herbal treatment can tame and gradually cure this
condition using a systematic approach of detoxification, rejuvenation, and
specifically targeting the skin and subcutaneous tissues with healing herbs. Chronic
infection, inflammation, heavy metal toxicity, high levels of stress, and faulty
diet and damaging lifestyles are important concerns which need to be addressed
aggressively. While treating the condition with appropriate herbs, physicians
advise patients about the daily food intake and dos and don’ts.
Recurrence is common with this condition and stress is a major
contributing factor. This needs to be treated both by taking adequate
medications as well as modifying attitudes, work styles, long term goals, and
adopting a spiritual outlook. Exposure to adequate sunlight and fresh air is
also very important for long term health.
Depending upon severity, patient compliance and response to
medicines, average treatment time ranges from about 4 to 12 months.
