[Guest guest]

Psoriasis is a prolonged inflammation of skin. The causes of

psoriasis are still unclear. This condition is neither infectious (Do

not spread from one person to another) nor does it affect the general

health. It affects both the genders and may start at any age.

 

Psoriasis is quite common, affecting around two per cent of the

population, although people with very mild symptoms may not be aware

they have it. Psoriasis can begin at any age but usually starts

either around the age of 20 or between 50 and 60.

 

Causes of Psoriasis

 

As said earlier according to modern medical science the causes of

psoriasis are unknown .But the following factors can trigger

psoriasis.

 

1.Heredity - If one parent is affected then there is 15% of chances

for the child to suffer from psoriasis. If both the parents are

affected then the possibility of child getting the psoriasis is 60%.

 

2.Throat infections trigger psoriasis.

 

3.Trauma or hurt on skin like cuts, bruises or burns may cause

psoriasis.

 

4.Some medicines or skin irritants initiate psoriasis.

 

5.Smoking and alcohol are other two factors which activate psoriasis.

 

6.Mental stress or psychological trauma may also set off psoriasis

 

What does ayurveda say about psoriasis?

 

Psoriasis is caused by vitiation of vata and kapha dosha. The

vitiated doshas affect the skin and blood tissues. They also

influence water element of the affected region on skin. Thus the skin

which is influenced by affected doshas becomes discolored (white or

copper colored), scaly and thin.

 

Causes of vitiation of Doshas

 

1.Consuming opposite foods.

 

2.Controlling natural urges.

 

3.Exposure to severe climatic conditions

 

4.Consuming food that is too salty, too sour and/or too heavy for

digestion.

 

5.Sleeping during the afternoon.

 

6.Taking bath in cold water immediately after physical exertion.

 

7.Mental stress.

 

Changes that occur on skin during psoriasis

 

It takes 27 days for skin to replace itself with new mature skin

cells. But the regions of skin affected by psoriasis the skin replace

itself within 3-4 days with plenty of immature skin cells forming

thick psoriatic patches.

 

According to ayurveda principles the vitiated vata dries the water

element of skin and also initiate rapid growth of skin tissue. The

vitiated Kapha dosha causes itching on the affected skin. The blood

which is affected by vata and kapha adversely influences healing

process.
