What is Psoriasis

Psoriasis is immune mediated (Auto Immune) disease affecting skin with raised, red or purple patches developing on the skin. Often these patches have scaly formation on it.
Though it can appear on any location of the body, it commonly affects skin of elbow, nails, Genitals, knee, scalp
It is a chronic disease and can be described as कषटससधय(difficult to cure).

The course of disease involves two phases –

  • Phase of Aggravation – In which disease is flared due to some triggering factor
  • Phase of Remission – In which disease symptoms subsides to greater extent

What Happen To Skin In Psoriasis?

Immune system cells like T cells are involved in the development of Psoriasis.
These immune cells are meant to destroy the foreign substances like bacteria and viruses. But in Psoriasis, the ability of Immune cells to identify the body’s own cells and foreign substances is disturbed. Thus, they mistakenly attack healthy skin cells perceiving them to be foreign cells.
This causes inflammation of the skin with red or purple raised patch over affected skin.
In the affected area of skin, body produces new skin cells faster in response to destruction done by own immune cells. This mechanism is responsible for scaling formation in the disease of psoriasis.
Newly formed excess skin cells in turn stimulate production of more immune cell owing to being misidentified as excess foreign substances

Ayurvedic Perspective

The majorly affected dosha in Psoriasis are Vata and Kapha.
In Psoriasis (कुष्ट रोग), following are the few factors which are responsible for disturbing Vata, Pitta and Kapha doshas, through production of excess Toxins and low quality or imperfect body tissues (Dhatu – धातु) like Ras (रस) – Plasma, Rakta (रक्त) – Blood, Mamsa (मांस) – Muscle

  • Incompatible food habits (विरुद्ध आहार – Virrudha Aahar)
  • Eating food against one’s constitution (प्रकृति विरुद्ध आहार – Prakruti Virrudha Aahar)
  • Emotional factors like fear, anger, agitation etc
  • Long daytime sleeping
  • Frequently taking unctuous and heavy food items.
  • Frequent suppression of natural urges like Vomiting, Sleep, Urine, Stool etc. (वेगवरोध – Vegavrodh)
