. because the immune system is disturbed and
. because skin and nervous system has a common embryological origin thus is the reason of recurrence or flaring of the disease.

2.Take diet rich in protein,iron,folic acid, brown rice, orange, green vegetables, wheat, barley, green gram,lemon,turmeric,bitter gourd,garlic,pomegranate, nutmeg,bitter and sweet (not sour) food, dry ginger, khadira, black pepper, long pepper, old clarified butter,honey,light exercise,massage,boiled and filtered water to drink, tea, coffee(not after meals or during periods of fasting)

.Avoid raw fruits, raw radish, too much oily food, over eating, brinjal, tomatoes, soap, jaggery,coffee,sour and sweet food,oil,curd,newly harvested cereals, incompatible foods, food with heavy, unctuous and cold properties,sesame,salt, black gram, milk,lisora,makoya, day sleeping, mental stress, excessive exercise.

.vitamin e-rich food: spinach, almond oil, sweet potato, sunflower seeds, and wheat germs are good for the skin problems.
.scalp should be dandruff free.
.taking bath in sea water is very good for the skin treatment, similarly at home taking bath in Epsom salt or oatmeal containing water is also good.
.because skin infection of any type is precipitated by stress and disturbed immune system, hence medicines like Shankhpushpi, Sarpagandha,Brahmi,alongwith Suvarn Parpati ,Ashwagandha,Shatavri, as Immuno modulators can be given after consulting Ayurveda Physician there.

.Prescription medicine which you can ask for: Panchnimba churan,Ras manikya
Arogyavardhini vati,Guduchi satva, mahamanjishthadi kwatha, Udaybhaskara churan, Paribhadra rasa,Chakramard beeja churna, khadirarishta.

Hai,

Psoriasis is an auto immune disease. whatever system of medicine you follow, if you are under mental stress and anxiety problem you cant get solution for psoriasis.
Stress influence more in this skin condition. only medication will not give you proper result.anxiety,stress will aggravate the symptom even though you are under medication.

avoiding/controlling/balancing stress and anxiety will give you better result.

in Ayurveda system of medicine certain type of psoriasis is completely cured
with oral and external medication along with meditation to balance your mind and stress level.
