What is Psoriasis & How Does it Occur?

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition in which the body’s immune system attacks its own healthy cells, leading to the rapid multiplication of the cells, faster than normal. In normal conditions, skin cells complete their life cycle in 3-4 weeks. The incidence of psoriasis makes it faster, in which the cells complete this cycle within 4-5 days, leading to the build-up of dry, scaly patches on the skin surface.

These patches are often called plaques, it mostly appears in the elbows, knee, scalp and lower back, in some conditions, it is also seen in nails and joints, and it is termed as Psoriatic arthritis.

Psoriasis involves a genetic component, but certain triggers can cause flare-ups, like: -

• Stress & emotional disturbances
• Certain medications (beta blockers, lithium compositions, antimalarials, etc.)
• Cold, dry weather conditions
• Alcohol consumptions & smoking
• Skin injuries (deep cuts, sunburns, etc.)

Psoriasis in the eyes of Ayurveda

Ancient Ayurvedic texts correlate Psoriasis with a condition called Kitibha Kushtha  or Kushta roga – a group of chronic skin diseases caused by the imbalance of three primary energies of the body.

According to Ayurveda, every individual is governed by three doshas: Vata , pittha and Kapha. When these fall out of balance, especially Vata and Kapha, it leads to the accumulation of toxins(Ama) in the body which manifests as chronic skin diseases such as Psoriasis.
