Psoriasis & Psoravit

Psoriasis & Psoravit

Modern medical perspective:

Psoriasis is understood as a chronic autoimmune condition that affects the skin, leading to the rapid growth and accumulation of skin cells. The immune system, for reasons not entirely clear, mistakenly attacks healthy skin cells, causing an accelerated turnover of cells. This results in the formation of thick, red, and scaly patches on the skin’s surface.

Genetic and environmental factors are believed to contribute to the development of psoriasis. Certain genes are associated with an increased risk, and triggers such as infections, stress, and certain medications can exacerbate symptoms or lead to the onset of psoriasis in genetically predisposed individuals.

The primary symptoms of psoriasis include raised, inflamed patches covered with silvery-white scales. These patches can appear anywhere on the body but are commonly found on the elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, and face. Itching and discomfort are common, and in some cases, individuals may experience joint pain and swelling, a condition known as psoriatic arthritis.

Modern treatment approaches for psoriasis aim to manage symptoms, reduce inflammation, and slow down the rapid skin cell turnover. Topical treatments, phototherapy, oral medications, and, in some cases, biologic drugs that target specific aspects of the immune system are commonly prescribed.

Ayurvedic perspective:

In Ayurveda, any skin disorder (charam-roga) is classified in general as “Kushtha-Roga”, which in itself, mild to moderate, is of 18 types further categorized under 7 types of “Maha-kushtha” and 11 types of “Kshudra-kushtha”. The name & symptoms of Psoriasis are apparently similar and closely resemble with “Eka-kushtha” (In this type “kushtha”, the skin looks like a fish skin or scaly skin and there is absence of sweating. According to Acharya Sushruta, “Eka-kushtha” is the skin disease in which the affected part of the skin becomes grayish black.) and “Kitibha- kushtha” (In this type of “kushtha”, in which the skin becomes grayish black in colour, rough like a wound or bruised skin. According to Acharya Sushruta, “Kitibha-kushtha” is the disorder, in which the skin becomes oily, grayish black with lot of itching and oozing.) – the two of the various other kinds of “Kshudra-kushtha-rogas”. According to Ayurveda, when “Vata” & “Kapha” doshas get vitiated, they pollute and toxify “Rakta-dhatu” and “Mansa-dhatu”, the symptoms of Psoriasis (“Eka-kushtha” or “kitibha-kushtha”) appear. This also influences water element of the affected region on skin. In some patients, with Pitta prakruti, besides other symptoms, hot flushes may also occur.

Ayurveda also believes that impurities in the blood associated with emotional factors & stress also form the causes of this disorder. Irregular food habits, consumption of foodstuffs with opposite properties, excessive use of yoghurt, black gram, seafood, sour & salted items, alcohol & tobacco consumption etc may aggravate the pathogenesis of Psoriasis.

Psoriasis is the most irritable, stubborn and chronically recurring skin disorder which starts beginning prominent with skin eruptions in any particular part of the external skin. It has varied symptoms like, raised, rough, reddened, vascular, flaky skin covered with silvery scales, with or without, dry or weeping tiny papules. These acute eruptions become chronic with inflammatory process in the true skin, and appear repeatedly in any particular season, but it is believed not to be infectious. The eruptions almost mostly appear around the back of the elbow and the front of the knees. Psoriasis usually begins as tiny papules formed in the skin, each covered with a white cap of scales, which enlarge in breadth till they form patches varying in size. These patches may appear on other parts of the body also, especially the scalp and the face. Psoriasis usually occurs between the ages of 14 and 24 and may persist for life. Heredity also plays a role in the development of psoriasis, as it tends to occur in families.
