Psoriasis

Psoriasis in Ayurveda is a well-known disease because “Kithibha” is an autoimmune disease that causes plaques, which are itchy or painful patches of thick, red, and dry skin. Psoriasis affects any part of the body.

Ayurveda believes that impurities in the blood related to emotional aspects are the cause of the disease. Psoriasis is believed to occur due to the reduction of the three doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha) to varying degrees, but mainly Vata and Kapha depending on Ayurvedic treatments.

Irregular lifestyle, consumption of food such as dairy products with fish, yogurt, paneer, black gram, sour and salty seafood that is not recommended to consume together which activates the pathogenesis . The consumption of alcohol and tobacco will act as a catalyst here. Ayurveda also examines the effect of stress in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.

Shathayu Ayurveda Retreat focuses on purifying the blood and balancing the effect on dosha and aims for a symptom-free stage.
