Psoriasis is more than just a skin condition; it’s a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the body, mind, and emotions. The red, scaly patches, itching, and inflammation can profoundly impact a person’s confidence and quality of life. While conventional medicine often focuses on treating the symptoms, Ayurveda offers a holistic approach that aims to heal the root cause and restore balance from within.
At AM Ayurveda we offer Ayurvedic treatment for psoriasis in Barcelona , helping people find lasting relief through natural therapies, diet and lifestyle changes.
Understanding psoriasis in Ayurveda
In Ayurveda, psoriasis is often associated with an imbalance of the Vata and Kapha doshas, as well as an accumulation of toxins (ama) in the body. These imbalances affect the blood (rakta dhatu) and the skin (twak), leading to inflammation, dryness, and scaling.
Ayurveda views psoriasis not only as a skin problem, but also as a reflection of internal disharmony, including poor digestion, stress, and emotional imbalance. Therefore, treatment focuses on purifying the body, calming the mind, and rejuvenating the skin.
Ayurvedic treatment for psoriasis
Ayurvedic treatment for psoriasis in Barcelona , at AM Ayurveda, focuses on detoxifying the body, reducing inflammation, and nourishing the skin naturally. Each treatment plan is personalized according to the patient’s body constitution (Prakriti), dosha imbalance, and the severity of their psoriasis.
1. Panchakarma Detoxification Therapy
This is the cornerstone of Ayurvedic healing. Panchakarma includes cleansing therapies such as Virechana (purge) and Basti (medicinal enema) that eliminate toxins from the liver and intestines, improving overall metabolism and immunity.
2. Abhyanga (massage with herbal oils)
A full-body massage with medicinal oils such as Karanj, Neem, or Mahamasha Taila helps reduce dryness and flaking. It improves circulation, nourishes skin tissue, and provides deep relaxation.
3. Takaradhara and Shirodhara
These therapies involve pouring medicinal buttermilk or herbal oils onto the forehead. They calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and are very effective in controlling stress-induced psoriasis flare-ups.
4. Herbal and dietary support
- Herbs such as neem, turmeric, manjistha, and guduchi are used internally and externally to purify the blood and reduce inflammation.
- Patients are advised to avoid dairy products, spicy foods, red meat, and processed sugar, which can aggravate the condition.
- Including bitter and astringent foods such as leafy green vegetables, cucumber, and aloe vera helps to restore balance.
Several studies, including those published in the Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine , demonstrate that Ayurvedic detoxification combined with herbal medicines can significantly reduce the symptoms of psoriasis and improve skin texture.
Lifestyle recommendations
- Stress management: Meditation and pranayama are very beneficial, as emotional stress is known to be a trigger for psoriasis.
- Regular application of oils: Daily application of medicinal oils keeps the skin soft and moisturized.
- Get enough sleep: adequate rest helps the body repair and detoxify naturally.
- Avoid harsh soaps and chemicals: use gentle herbal cleansers to protect the skin barrier.
