Psoriasis
Heal Beyond the Surface — Treat Psoriasis Naturally.
What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin condition that leads to the rapid buildup of skin cells, causing scaling, inflammation, dryness, and itching. It often appears as red, scaly patches on the scalp, elbows, knees, and back. In modern medicine, psoriasis is typically managed with topical steroids or immune-modulating drugs, but these provide only temporary relief. At Kaivalya Ayurveda, we view psoriasis as a deeper systemic imbalance and focus on long-term healing by treating the root causes — not just the skin’s surface.
Ayurvedic View of Psoriasis
In Ayurvedic texts, psoriasis closely resembles a condition called “Kitibha”, which is caused by an imbalance in the Vata and Kapha doshas. Disturbed digestion (Agni), improper dietary habits, stress, and the buildup of Ama (toxins) are considered major factors that disrupt the functioning of the skin (Twak Dhatu). At Kaivalya Ayurveda, our treatment begins by correcting the internal imbalance and purifying the body, while also using external therapies to soothe and heal the skin.
Causes of Psoriasis
According to Ayurveda, the root causes of psoriasis often include the consumption of incompatible foods such as dairy with seafood (Viruddha Aahar), excessive oily and heavy meals, stress, lack of sleep, and the suppression of natural bodily urges. In modern terms, genetic factors, environmental triggers, and immune dysfunction can also play a role. At Kaivalya Ayurveda, we perform an in-depth analysis of your unique constitution and lifestyle to identify these root causes and customize a healing plan accordingly.
Ayurvedic Treatment for Psoriasis at Kaivalya Ayurveda
At Kaivalya Ayurveda, we offer a comprehensive and personalized treatment approach for psoriasis. This includes Panchakarma therapies such as Virechana (therapeutic purgation) to cleanse toxins, Raktamokshana (bloodletting) for severe cases, and herbal internal medications like Gandhaka Rasayana, Khadirarishta, and Arogya Vardhini Vati. External application of medicated oils like Mahamarichyadi Taila and neem-based ointments are used to soothe inflammation and scaling. Along with treatments, our experts provide a tailored diet, stress management practices, and daily routines that support the skin’s healing at a systemic level. Every plan is guided by our experienced Ayurvedic doctor, Dr. Subodh Chaturvedi, ensuring authentic and results-driven care.
