Namaste! I’m Dr. Danny Devasy, an Ayurvedic physician with over 21 years of experience in integrative healing.

In recent years, I’ve seen a surge in patients searching for natural remedies for psoriasis—a chronic skin condition that affects millions globally. Let’s dive into what psoriasis is, how to identify it, and how Ayurvedic treatment for psoriasis can help you heal from the inside out.

🔍 What Is Psoriasis?

Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disease that causes rapid skin cell turnover, leading to red, scaly patches, itching, and inflammation. It affects over 125 million people worldwide, and searches for “psoriasis treatment” have skyrocketed due to its persistent nature and impact on quality of life.

📌 Types of Psoriasis & Symptoms

Type	Symptoms
Plaque Psoriasis	Raised, red patches with silvery scales—most common form.
Guttate Psoriasis	Small, drop-like lesions, often triggered by infections.
Inverse Psoriasis	Smooth, shiny red patches in body folds.
Pustular Psoriasis	White pustules surrounded by red skin.
Erythrodermic Psoriasis	Severe redness and skin shedding—requires urgent care.

Common signs include:

• Dry, cracked skin that may bleed. The area is well demarcated and scales often.

• Itching or burning sensation

• Thickened nails

• Joint pain (linked to psoriatic arthritis)

🌱 Ayurvedic Cure for Psoriasis: Healing with Herbs

Ayurveda views psoriasis as a Vata-Kapha imbalance aggravated by poor digestion and toxin buildup (ama). Here are the best herbs for skin inflammation and Ayurvedic solutions trending today:

🥥 Coconut Oil for Dry Skin

• Rich in lauric acid and antioxidants

• Deeply moisturizes and reduces flaking

• Apply virgin coconut oil daily to soothe and protect

  
  

🌿 Wrightia Tinctoria for Psoriasis

🌼 Other Powerful Herbs

• Aloe Vera: Hydrates and promotes healing

• Guduchi (Giloy): Boosts immunity and purifies the system

These herbs are gaining traction in searches for “Ayurvedic psoriasis cure” and “natural skin healing.”

🥗 Psoriasis Diet Plan: Eat to Heal

Your diet plays a crucial role in managing psoriasis. Here’s what to include and avoid:

✅ Eat More:

• Leafy greens, bitter vegetables

• Whole grains like barley and quinoa

• Omega-3-rich foods: flaxseeds, walnuts

• Turmeric, ginger, and cumin

❌ Avoid:

• Dairy, red meat, and fried foods

• Nightshades: tomatoes, potatoes, brinjal

• Sugar and processed snacks

A psoriasis-friendly diet helps reduce inflammation and supports skin regeneration.

💧 Hydration for Skin Health

Water is your skin’s best friend. It helps:

• Flush out toxins

• Maintain moisture balance

• Reduce flaking and dryness

Drink at least 2.5–3 liters of water daily, and sip warm water throughout the day to support digestion and detoxification.

🧘 Lifestyle Tips for Psoriasis Relief

• Practice Abhyanga (Ayurvedic oil massage) with medicated oils

• Do yoga and pranayama to reduce stress as stress may increase the skin lesions.

• Maintain regular sleep and bowel habits

• Avoid harsh soaps and hot showers

  
  

These habits are often searched under “natural ways to treat psoriasis” and “Ayurvedic lifestyle for skin health.”
