What causes psoriasis, in Ayurvedic terms?
Ayurveda attributes psoriasis to vitiated Pitta and Kapha doshas causing toxin (Ama) accumulation in skin tissue (Rakta and Twak dhatu). Triggers include poor digestion, incompatible food combinations, stress and disrupted sleep — all of which our doctors assess during consultation.
Does diet really affect psoriasis?
Yes — significantly. Certain foods (sour, salty, fermented, incompatible combinations) are known to aggravate Pitta and worsen flare-ups. A personalised Ayurvedic diet plan is a core part of psoriasis management, not an optional add-on.
Can Ayurveda cure psoriasis?
Ayurveda focuses on long-term management and remission — reducing flare frequency and severity through internal medicine, external application, diet and lifestyle correction, rather than promising a one-time cure.
How long before I see improvement?
Most patients on our structured program notice visible improvement in skin condition within 6–10 weeks, with continued follow-up to sustain results.
