How we treat Psoriasis with Ayurveda
Inspired by the teachings of Ayurveda, Vaidya Namrata Vashishtha believes that every person’s body is unique, and the best way to heal is by balancing the mind, body, and soul naturally.
At Sushrut Ayurveda Bliss, we use time-tested Ayurvedic methods to help patients suffering from psoriasis find lasting relief and lead healthier lives. Psoriasis, a chronic skin condition, can be effectively managed through a combination of Ayurvedic therapies, herbal medicines, lifestyle changes, and a tailored diet plan. Here’s how we care for our patients:
1. Ayurvedic Therapies:
We start by detoxifying the body to remove toxins, also known as Ama, that cause skin flare-ups.
- Panchakarma Therapy:
- Vamana (therapeutic vomiting): To cleanse the digestive system.
- Virechana (purgation therapy): For blood purification.
- Abhyanga (oil massage): Nourishes skin and reduces inflammation.
- Takradhara (pouring medicated buttermilk on the forehead): Soothes stress-related psoriasis.
These therapies are performed under expert supervision over 7–14 days, depending on the severity of the condition.
2. Herbal Medicines:
Our doctors prescribe medicines made from natural ingredients that heal the skin and improve immunity:
- Khadirarishta: A herbal decoction for blood purification.
- Neem and Turmeric Capsules: These are used their anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties.
- Manjistha Powder: It helps in detoxifying blood and reducing redness and itching.
These are carefully tailored to each patient’s needs and taken for 2–3 months.
3. Simple Exercises and Yoga:
We recommend light exercises to improve circulation and reduce stress, which is a common trigger for psoriasis.
- Daily Yoga (20–30 minutes):
- Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation): For overall detox.
- Shavasana (Corpse Pose): To relax the mind and body.
- Pranayama (Breathing exercises): Keeps stress at bay.
4. Healing Foods:
A balanced diet plays a vital role in managing psoriasis. Our doctors suggest foods that calm the Pitta dosha, which is responsible for flare-ups.
- Freshly Cooked Green Vegetables: Steamed spinach, bottle gourd, and bitter gourd.
- Coconut Water and Buttermilk: It helps cool the body and improve digestion.
