In Ayurveda, all skin diseases are described under the umbrella of <\/span>Kushta<\/span><\/i>. Conditions like Psoriasis (Kitibha \/ Kshudrakushta) are not seen as isolated skin disorders but as reflections of deeper imbalances within the body, mind, and emotions.<\/span><\/p>\n

WHAT IS PSORIASIS?<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/b>Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes inflammation in the skin. Symptoms include thick, discolored patches of skin covered with scales called plaques. It is a chronic condition, which means flare-ups may appear unexpectedly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n<\/span> \u2013 Improper digestion<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u2013 Accumulation of toxins<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u2013 Poor lifestyle practices<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u2013 Irregular sleep patterns<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u2013 Lack of proper hygiene<\/span>
\n<\/span> \u2013 Emotional factors such as excessive stress, worry, anxiety, anger, and emotional blockages<\/span><\/p>\n

SYMPTOMS<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2013 Can appear anywhere on the body<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Raised or thick rash-like areas<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 Discolored skin<\/span><\/p>\n

Healthy skin is a result of balanced doshas,pure rakta dhatu,strong agni and a clear mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Ayurveda, skin problems often arise due to increased pitta and vata doshas which causes accumulation of toxins ( ama ) in blood. But psoriasis is dominant in vata and kapha doshas.<\/span><\/p>\n
