How can you prevent psoriasis?
In terms of Ayurveda, Psoriasis stems due to the imbalance between two basic energies of the human body called Vata and Kapha. Ayurvedic treatment for Psoriasis involves maintaining a balance between these two energies by detoxifying your body and following some strict lifestyle and dietary changes. Ayurvedic therapy may include Panchakarma which the most suited treatment for psoriasis followed by counseling, lifestyle management, and diet management.
One should strictly follow the dietary modifications and avoid having any type of foods that can fail ayurvedic treatment. Ayurveda suggests people suffering from psoriasis to consume a vegetarian diet which does not include non-veg food while undergoing treatment for psoriasis.
Panchakarma involves treating a patient through Vamana, Rakta moksha and Virechana. Panchkarma is an ayurvedic procedure that is done by detoxifying the body. Detoxification is carried out through “Panchakarma” medications where all the toxic material from the body fluids are disposed out. Psoriasis majorly occurs due to improper functioning of pitta in the body, so the patient is treated with some good herbs to detoxify the body in form of Panchakarma therapy.

Panchakarma Therapy for Psoriasis
Ayurveda offers Panchakarma therapy for treating Psoriasis that involves purging your body from harmful toxins by inducing vomiting and detoxifying your body by adding necessary changes to your diet and through plant-based remedies.
Panchakarma therapy for psoriasis has gained worldwide attention for its effectiveness in treating various skin diseases. A case study, that involved 40 patients suffering from psoriasis were divided into four groups (A, B, C, D). Group A, received Vamana(vomiting) and Virechana (detoxifying) once during the trial period. Group B – Vamana and Virechana followed by Dermo-care in the dose of 5 g twice a day for a period of 2 months. Group C, received dermo-care only. Group D, received Neotrexate (Methotrexate) 7.5 mg/week was given under the supervision of a dermatologist. The results showed marked improvement in patients who received Vamana and Virechana followed by Dermo-care in the dose of 5 g twice a day for two months. Whereas, all the other groups showed only mild to moderate effect.
In another case study, where a total of 50 patients suffering from psoriasis were treated with Panchakarma therapy. The treatment of Panchakarma involved Vaman, Virechan and Matrabasti. For vaman (vomiting), Vacha 1 gm, Madanphal 2 gm, Saindhav and decoction of madhuyashti was given, whereas to induce Virechan, trivritt churna, erand oil was given followed by samsarjana karma for 3 days. For detoxification internal oleation (abhyantar snehan) was performed with panchtikta ghrita with initial dose of 50 ml/ day which was gradually increased by 50 ml/day for 3 to 7 days. This is followed by abhyang and vashpa sweda by neem oil and dashmool kwath respectively. Daily oil enema (Matrabasti) with panchtikta ghrit was also given for 21 days along with shaman chikitsa.
The results showed a significant improvement in the symptoms of pateints suffering from psoriasis followed by panchakarma treatment. All the research has proved that panchkarma is a new line of treatment for chronic skin disorders like psoriasis.
