PSORIASIS
Psoriasis is a chronic dermatological condition characterized by the accumulation of skin cells, resulting in the formation of red, scaly, and pruritic patches on the skin. The epidermal cells, or outer layer of cells, are created at a rate 6-9 times faster than their regular production rate. These scale patches can occasionally lead to skin cracking, bleeding, or the formation of blisters filled with pus.
This is an autoimmune illness that is activated by a combination of environmental and genetic factors. Additional factors encompass smoking, obesity, specific drugs, and other underlying infections. This illness is characterized by recurrent episodes that can occur within a very short period of time or longer periods, ranging from a few months to many years.
Psoriasis not only presents as a cosmetic concern, but also poses the danger of developing other significant conditions such as psoriatic arthritis, cardiovascular diseases, mental health disorders like anxiety and depression, as well as cancer and liver diseases.
Ayurveda categorizes several types of psoriasis under the comprehensive name "kushta".This occurs as a result of an imbalance in the tridoshas, combined with the vitiation of dhatus or tissues .Given that it is a chronic illness, it is imperative to implement effective treatment using both shamana (palliative) and sodhana or panchakarma (purification) therapies, followed by adopting a suitable lifestyle change to avoid any future recurrences.
