Psoriasis is one of those painful and chronic skin diseases that has plagued millions around the world and a whole lot of Nepalese people. Symptoms usually appear as red, scaly patches on the skin, which often cause itching and discomfort. This often causes emotional stress and distress. As much as there are several treatments available via modern medicine, many people have started leaning toward Ayurveda for natural and holistic healing. The following paper examines the most effective Ayurvedic modes of treatment for psoriasis in Nepal and how Longevity Health Home leads from the front with safe, effective, and long-term remedies.
Understanding Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease characterized by rapid growth of skin cells that causes scaling on the skin surface. Patches are often seen on the scalp, elbows, knees, and back. Any area of the body can be involved. Symptoms include: Red patches of skin covered with silvery scales Dry, cracked skin that may bleed Itching, burning, or soreness around the affected skin Thickened or ridged nails.
The exact cause of psoriasis is unknown, but it has been linked to dysfunction of the immune system, genes, and environment. Stress, cold weather, and infections can trigger flare-ups and hence require a multidimensional approach to treatment.
Ayurvedic Perspective on Psoriasis
In Ayurveda, the malady of psoriasis is referred to as “Kitibha” and is classified under the category of dermatological disease known as Kushtha. It is believed to be caused by an imbalance in the Vata and Kapha doshas. Toxins, Ama, collected in the blood and tissues also play an important role in developing this disease. Ayurvedic treatment aims at detoxification of the body, balancing the doshas, and rejuvenation of skin and the immune system for long-term relief from psoriasis.
Ayurveda Cures for Psoriasis at Longevity Health Home
In this regard, at Longevity Health Home, various types of Ayurvedic therapies are given based on the constitution of each and every patient, along with the severity of psoriasis. We provide overall treatment through detoxification, administration of herbal medicine, dietary prescriptions, and changes in lifestyle for complete recuperation.
Panchakarma Therapy: Panchakarma is a detoxification process through which the body is cleaned of toxins, and the doshas are balanced. In the case of psoriasis, Panchakarma is very efficient in removing the excess Vata and Kapha from the system. Some of the major procedures employed in the treatment of psoriasis by Panchakarma are as follows:
Vamana or therapeutic emesis that expels the excess Kapha from the body and cleans the skin.
Virechana of Purgation Therapy will help to remove the toxins from the intestines and thereby reduce the inflammation and purify the blood. Snehan or Oil Massage: The medicated oil applied helps in nourishing the skin and removal of toxins. Swedana or Herbal Steam Therapy: The steam generated by the boiling of herbal decoctions opens the pores of the skin, which in turn helps in the removal of toxins.
Ayurveda Herbal Remedies Ayurveda utilizes various herbs that have anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. We prescribe herbal remedies based on special requirements at Longevity Health Home to minimize manifestations of the disease and also to hasten the body’s natural healing process. The principle herbs resorted to in the treatment of psoriasis are:
Turmeric- Curcuma longa: the active principle of this herb is highly anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant which stems the inflammation in the skin and pacifies irritation.
Neem (Azadirachta indica): antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties have made neem one of the famous herbs for skin diseases, especially psoriasis.
Aloe Vera: Aloe vera is a famous medicinal flora known for its skin moisturizing and healing effects. It has been very effective in drying and scaling associated with psoriasis.
Guggul: Guggul is a wonderful herbal medicine, which is very helpful for detoxification of the body, thereby restoring all doshas, hence helping to improve skin texture and reduce flare-ups.
Ayurvedic therapies usually involve the application of these therapies on the external skin to nourish and soothe the skin.
Some of the package treatments available at Longevity Health Home include:
Lepanam (Herbal Paste Application) Application of medicated herbal paste on the scaling and inflammation sites.
Takradhara (Buttermilk Treatment) Continuous pouring of buttermilk filled with medicinal herbs above the forehead and body lessens stress in the mind, relieves skin irritations.
Abhyanga (Oil Massage): The regular application of medicated oils moisturizes the skin, reduces scaling, and promotes healing.
Dietary and Lifestyle Changes Diet in Ayurveda plays a vital role in maintaining and controlling psoriasis. Some dietary recommendations aimed at the alleviation and balance of the doshas by reducing the numbers of exacerbation and flare-ups are recommended here at Longevity Health Home. Few general recommendations include:
Avoid spicy, oily, and processed food-these would raise the amount of heat and toxins in the body and could worsen psoriasis symptoms. Consume fresh cooling foods: fruits, vegetables, and fiber-rich foods that promote digestion and cut down the deposition of toxins. Hydrate yourself: plenty of warm water and herbal teas maintain hydration of the skin and wash out the toxins.
Lifestyle modifications such as practicing stress-reducing activities-yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises-are some of the most effective in reducing stress, which is one of the more common psoriasis flare-up triggers.
Psychological and Mental Well-being Psoriasis is not a disease affecting one’s body only. It is, rather, an affliction that can cause mental and emotional trauma. At Longevity Health Home, we believe in taking care of the person in totality, that is, his mind and body. Stress, as we all know, triggers off this illness. We recommend Shirodhara and other meditation sessions to bring peace to the mind and balm to the emotional bruises caused by this disease.
