Skin is the most visible part of the body that reflects personality of a person. Psoriasis appear to be largely a disorder of keratinisation.  The greek word psora means to itch. It is a non contagious, chronic auto immune disease that appear on skin. Modern medicines treat psoriasis with PUVA and steroids, but the disease recurrence is very common.The treatment with steroids leads to liver damage,kidney failure and even bone marrow depletion.

Ayurveda provides effective and safe remedy for psoriasis.We have successfully   treated several patients  with Ayurvedic medicines  who were suffering from this problem.

Our Ancient Acharayas has mentioned several classical ayurvedic formulations for the cure of menorrhagia.  Ayurvedic  herbal preparations  cures by establishing the equilibrium of Tridosha(Vata,pitta,kapha)and sapt dhatus (body tissues).

In Ayurveda , each and every patient is an individual entity and the treatment also differs from patient to patient. Rogi Nidaan has its different parameters. It’s not as simple as in modern medicines. Prakriti parikshan, Saar, Sahanan(Compactness), Vyayam shakti(Exercise), Agni (Digestion)all these parameters are  studied by an ayurvedist. An ayurvedist makes a clear picture of the individual by understanding a patient as a whole and also  decides what kind of mode of  preparation to be used for the patient. Panch KashayKalpana(SWARAS(Juice),CHURNA(powder),KALK,HIM,PHANT,)  is based on this principle.

·        So I emphasis that patient must take the ayurvedic medicine under the guidance of an Ayurvedic physician
