Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches on the skin. It is an autoimmune disorder where the body’s immune system triggers rapid skin cell growth, leading to inflammation and scaling. Psoriasis often affects areas such as the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back but can appear anywhere on the body.
Causes of Psoriasis
While the exact cause of psoriasis remains unclear, it is believed to stem from a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. Triggers may include:
- Stress and anxiety
- Infections such as strep throat
- Skin injuries or trauma
- Certain medications
- Extreme weather conditions
- Poor dietary habits
Symptoms of Psoriasis
Common signs and symptoms include:
- Red patches of skin covered with silvery scales
- Itching, burning, or soreness around the affected areas
- Cracked or bleeding skin
- Thickened or ridged nails
- Joint pain in cases of psoriatic arthritis
Ayurvedic Perspective on Psoriasis
In Ayurveda, psoriasis is referred to as Kitibha or Ekakushtha and is classified under Kushtha Roga (skin disorders). According to Ayurvedic principles, psoriasis occurs due to an imbalance in the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. This imbalance leads to the accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the body, which manifests as skin disorders.
