Ayurvedic Treatment for Psoriasis in Delhi

Overview

Living in Delhi-NCR means being prepared to endure the extreme weather conditions of the seasons and a polluted city environment. These factors-especially the dry winter months-commonly provoke psoriasis flare-ups: increased scaling, itching, and skin fissuring. From an Ayurveda perspective, psoriasis reflects impaired Agni and the accumulation of ama, which expresses through the skin.

Why is psoriasis a concern in Delhi-NCR?

  • Severe winter dryness (Rukshata): Skin loses moisture, barrier function weakens and scaling increases.
  • Environmental pollutants: Urban air pollution sustains low-grade inflammation and can worsen skin thickening.
  • Lifestyle and diet shifts: Festive and convenience foods that are heavy, fried or fermented may disturb Agni and promote recurrence.

Our approach — Precision Ayurveda tailored for Delhi patients

Apollo AyurVAID treats patients through a protocol-driven, personalized pathway of classical Ayurvedic practice coupled with modern outcomes. Treatments involve a system of four steps:

  1. Whole-person assessment – Ashta Sthana and Dasha Vidha tests; objective measures like PASI, BSA, and DLQI.
  2. Disease tree mapping — We map how constitutional imbalance, triggers and co-morbidities led to the current skin state.
  3. Personalised protocol — A bespoke plan of classical medicines, topical regimens, and therapies (including detoxification) selected from the individual’s disease tree.
  4. Monitoring and outcomes — Regular tracking with international scales and symptom review to guide treatment adjustments.

Treatment phases (what to expect)

Therapies are mediated in three progressive steps to aim for remission and resilience:

  • Stage 1 — Poorvakarma in 7–10 days
    Initial stabilization to decrease acute inflammation and scaling: Generally consists of internal medicines to ignite Agni, along with topical applications, lepa, and soothing Parisheka, medicated washes.
  • Stage 2 — Panchakarma 14–21 days
    Specific detoxification according to the dominant dosha pattern:
    Virechana in cases of Pitta-Vata types; Vamana and Nasya in cases of Kapha-Vata patterns, where applicable. Sedative therapies such as Takra Dhara help diminish nervous-system stress that often accompanies chronic skin disease.
  • Stage 3 — Rejuvenation & maintenance (3–6 months)
    This is followed by Rasayana therapy, blood purifiers, and strengthening measures to regain lost immunity, smoothen the skin texture, and prevent recurrence.
