Psoriasis

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.

The Ayurvedic perspective

How Ayurveda understands psoriasis.

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.
