Psoriasis is a skin problem which presents with papulosquamous scaling with dry,rough, raised, reddish colour skin, having silver white scaling. When scaling is removed from the skin, there are fine red dots of blood oozing out (Auspitz sign).
In the early phase, when patient came to know about this embracing skin problem, gets lots of anxiety, which further increases when patient got no satisfactory relief even with best efforts. Spreading of disease is not contagious but people maintain a certain distance from the patient, which gives a psychological trauma to the suffer.
In Ayurveda, psoriasis resembles best with the description of KITIBHA KUSTA, a skin disease described by Maharishi Charak, which is caused by the vitiation of mainly Vata & Kapha Dosha ( Body Humors). However all the three dosha plays significant role in the progression of the disease. So, assessment of Prakriti, doshas and dhatu involvement is very important in the management & treatment of psoriasis.
According to ayurved, KITIBHA kusta is caused by the intake of mutually contradictory foods like unctuous & heavy, hot & cold, fish & milk or milk products etc, sedentary life style with frequent climate change, stress or may be a allergic reaction to any drug / food etc. Other possible causes are malfunctioning of the immune system. When any trigger factor causes the certain cells to behave as if they are fighting an infection or healing a wound. They produce chemicals that causes inflammation. In psoriasis, this leads to an excessive growth of skin cells and inflammation.
If the patient's general health is not good then under favorable conditions, it may spread rapidly but sometimes may remain in its stagnant stage for several years. Psoriasis typically occurs on the areas of knees, elbows, scalp, torso, palms, skin-folds and soles etc but in some cases may involve the whole body.

Pain is merely an indicator of underlying pathological chemistry and mainly chal guna of vata (??? ?? ?? ??? ) is responsible for it. But permutation and combination of kapha and pitta (K&P), modify the features and manifestation of the pain. According to ayurvedic concept, PAIN at different sites have different root causes and may have different pathology. It depends on various factors. Site and character of the pain is helpful in diagnosing the diseases such as
tingling pain, colic pain, neurogenic pain, continuous aching pain, pulsating or throbbing pain, electric pain, pricking pain, dull pain, cramps, penetrating pain, dragging pain, burning pain, stinging pain, crushing pain or pressing pain etc. Some time pain have psychological origin.
So, during treatment, the assessment of the dosha condition is very important. After proper examination & understanding the patient, (???? ? ??? ???????) ayurveda advocate to formulate personalized treatment accordingly. Most of the patient will get relief and feel the effectiveness of treatment with in a very short period of time, which vanishes or changes their prejudice that "Ayurveda is slow acting." During and after treatment, patient is more confident to say that "Ayurveda is quick and fast acting".
According to Ayurveda, every individual is unique because of his / her PRAKRITI(body constitution)
and various combinations of inbuilt tridosh (Vata/Pitta/ Kapha) by birth.
During pain or diseased condition, there is a deviation from normalcy. A amalgamated blend of deviated dosh, dhatu and mala is formed, along with various other factors which came into action and manifest differently in different individuals.
Due to this reason, Ayurveda emphasize on personalized treatment because same problem may have different pathology in different individuals, due to which their treatment varies.
This is the big reason why same medicine not work in all patients of same problem / disease.
