Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a non-infectious, acute inflammatory condition that appears on the skin. It’s an auto-immune disorder that causes rapid skin cell reproduction resulting in red, dry patches of thickened skin. Common symptoms of Psoriasis include itching and burning, thickening and reddening of the skin and the development of silver-coloured scales. More severe cases of psoriasis can also lead to blistering, severe shedding of skin in the affected area and skin lesions.
AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING OF PSORIASIS
According to Ayurveda, diet and food is a major cause of the energy imbalance that leads to psoriasis. Vata, the energy that controls bodily functions, and kapha, the energy that controls growth, can become imbalanced due to unhealthy food choices, improper food combinations and doshi vishas, or toxins that accumulate in your digestive tract, resulting in psoriasis.
