Psoriasis

According to Ayurveda, psoriasis is considered the destruction of two basic energies in the human body, called Vata and Kapha. Some of the causes for this condition are:

• Hereditary
• Prolonged wrong diet and irregular eating habits
• Compromised immunity due to improper food and lifestyle
• Accumulated toxins in the body
• Physical and mental stress
• Hormonal imbalances

Risk factors associated with psoriasis

Psoriasis, inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are all very closely connected. Crohn’s disease can affect any part of the stomach and intestines and, ulcerative colitis usually affects the colon.

Psoriatic arthritis is an inflammatory, destructive form of arthritis and needs to be treated with medications in order to stop its progression. Although the joints of the hands, knees and ankles are most commonly affected, patients may have inflammation in any of the joints.

Psoriasis patients are prone to a variety of other disease conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension and liver problems. Therefore, it is very important for all patients with psoriasis to be carefully monitored.

Psoriasis is an auto-immune disease and can be kept well under control with our medicines, proper diet and lifestyle changes. The patients can enjoy long and extended periods of remission, though a complete cure cannot be guaranteed.

Patients respond extremely well to our specialised Ayurvedic Panchakarma treatments, where the medicines and oils used are specifically made in our hospital to treat psoriasis.

Since this is an autoimmune disease, the response will be really fast. The full course of treatment is recommended for best results. Shorter treatment programmes are available which are equally effective.
