Psoriasis (Plaque, Scalp & Guttate) Complete Care
Comprehensive blood purification (Rakta Shodhana), solarized Vetpalai oil application, and Panchakarma cellular detox to achieve clear, plaque-free skin and long-term remission.

Clinical Understanding & Autoimmune Skin Pathology
Psoriasis is a non-contagious, immune-mediated chronic dermatological disease marked by an abnormally accelerated turnover of epidermal keratinocytes. Normal skin cells mature and shed over 28 to 30 days; in psoriasis, this process accelerates to just 3 to 5 days, resulting in thick, raised, inflamed erythematous plaques blanketed with coarse silvery scales. The condition manifests as plaque psoriasis, scalp psoriasis, guttate lesions, or palmoplantar pustules, accompanied by agonizing pruritus, burning pain, skin cracking, and painful fissures that bleed upon minor friction.
Root Cause in Siddha & Ayurveda (Kaalanjagapadai & Rakta Dushti)
Siddha medicine classifies psoriasis under Kaalanjagapadai, while Ayurveda designates it as Kushta Roga (predominantly Ekakushta or Kitibha). The condition arises from a dual aggravation of Vatha and Kapha doshas that deeply vitiates Rakta (blood), Mamsa (muscle tissue), and Lasika (lymph). Toxin buildup (Ama) from incompatible dietary combinations (Viruddha Ahara), chronic mental stress, and liver sluggishness leaks into the bloodstream, manifesting through the epidermis as uncontrollable cellular hyper-proliferation.

Why Topical Steroids & Immunosuppressants are Dangerous
Conventional dermatology frequently prescribes topical corticosteroid ointments, methotrexate, or biologic injections. While these suppress visible plaques temporarily, they thin the skin dermis, damage liver/renal function, and trigger aggressive 'rebound flare-ups' once discontinued. R S Velumani Siddha Ayurvedha Hospital's 100% natural, non-steroidal approach treats the internal blood and hepatic roots, providing enduring remission and velvety, clear skin.
Expected Recovery Timeline & Prognosis
- Days 1 - 10: Immediate cessation of agonizing itching, softening of coarse scales, and stoppage of bleeding from fissured cracks. - Days 11 - 30: Progressive flattening of thickened plaques and steady thinning of silver scales revealing healthy pink underlying skin. - Days 31 - 60: Complete clearance of scalp and body lesions, restoration of natural skin pigmentation, and cellular immunological balance.
