Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition causing rapid skin cell turnover, resulting in thick, scaly patches. At AVK, we treat psoriasis through sustained internal purification, targeted herbal applications and dietary correction — typically over 3–6 months — for results that conventional treatments rarely achieve.

Psoriasis (Kitibha/Ekakushtha) is a deep-seated kapha-vata skin disorder with pitta involvement. Impure blood (dushita rakta), accumulated toxins and compromised immunity drive the condition. Treatment requires sustained internal purification alongside gentle external care.
Every treatment plan is individualised after a thorough consultation. Below is the typical protocol.
Calibrated stimulation of marma points linked to digestion and immunity, supporting the body's natural detoxification pathways.
Medicated buttermilk and herbal pastes applied to affected areas — profoundly healing for psoriatic skin without steroids or coal tar.
Blood-purifying and immune-modulating formulations taken consistently over 3–6 months.
A customised anti-psoriatic diet eliminating triggers — the single most influential lever in psoriasis management.
