Psoriasis is viewed in Ayurveda as a Pitta-Kapha disorder affecting the blood tissue (Rakta Dhatu) and skin. Accumulated toxins are believed to surface through the skin, triggering inflammation and rapid cell turnover. Ayurvedic treatment focuses on blood purification, Pitta pacification, and topical herbal therapies.
Psoriasis is linked to vitiated Pitta and Kapha doshas affecting Rakta (blood) and Twak (skin) tissues. Ayurveda considers improper diet, especially incompatible food combinations, along with suppressed emotions and poor digestion, as key triggers for flare-ups.
