What is psoriasis all about?
In the eyes of Ayurveda, psoriasis is not a disease, but it is all about a disorder that signals that the body constituents and the functioning are disrupted. It is not about instant healing which the Ayurveda but the condition can be changed to a manageable situation. The main root cause is the aggravation of Vata, dosha and Kapha imbalance (the energies in the body).
Stage 1: The Fire Weakens and Toxins Form
The first stage of psoriasis begins with the digestive fire, or Agni, which transforms food into energy. When this function is poor or becomes weak, due to factors like general weakness, stress, or eating incompatible foods, it cannot fully digest things.
Instead of creating nourishment, the body first requires internal decluttering. The toxic byproduct of this weak digestion is called Ama. Specific dietary mistakes, like excessive yogurt, seafood, or processed foods, are known to directly aggravate this process and fuel the condition.
Stage 2: Toxins Mix and Overflow to the Skin
Ama does not stay put. When left unchecked, it spreads from the gut and mixes with your vital bodily tissues (Dhatus). According to Ayurveda, it particularly combines with your body’s heat (Pitta dosha) and its mobility (Vata dosha).
This creates a dangerous, heated compound that Ayurveda calls Dushti (vitiation). In response, the body tries to eliminate this toxin. The skin, being a major organ of elimination, becomes the exit route. The result is the body pushing these heated toxins outward, manifesting as the red, inflamed, and scaly patches characteristic of psoriasis. This is not the skin attacking itself; it is the body trying desperately to expel what is harming it from within.
Stage 3: Holistic healing
Ayurveda focuses on overall healing, which means taking care of the body both internally and externally. Psoriasis is an overall condition that involves weak digestion, blood toxicity, dosha imbalance, and tissue impairment. Psoriasis treatment in Ayurveda creates a plan to address each of these factors effectively. External triggers like stress, skin injuries, or seasonal changes can act as the final ‘match’ that ignites this already-prepared inflammatory process in a susceptible person.
Why is it necessary to treat psoriasis promptly? Why is it a problem?
Psoriasis is a sign of a deeper issue: It indicates that toxins (Ama) have formed in the body. This Ama overheats and vitiates the blood tissue, which leads to internal dryness, inflammation, and unnaturally rapid skin cell growth. This process deeply disturbs the health and integrity of the skin itself.
