Suggest Alternative Medication For Psoriasis
Greetings to Dr. Rohit.
I am Elizabeth Lee, from Malaysia.
I have been suffering from psoriasis since I was 23 years old.
Now, I am 34 years old.
My psoriasis have been ups and down. But then its still manageable.
But things turn differently, after my delivery of my baby since January 2010.
My psoriasis have flared up so much that it covers 85% of my body, especially both my legs.
I have seen many doctors, and even skins specialists.
But then my psoriasis has not settled or remained the same severe.
I had used 707 Oil, from India, by an Aryuvedic practitioner.
And taken some oral Aryuvedic pills , Dermaflex, from India.
But then my psoriasis has not improved.
Now, after 4 months after my delivery, my skin has noit gotten any better, even though I have applied medication given by skin specialist.
Any alternative medication??
Please help.

Thank you for writing to HCM.
Psoriasis is really kashtsadhya to asadhya classification disease. You are advised to undergo Panchkarma at some good ayurveda hospital near you. Till that time please take following for some relief. Kakmachi - The juice of the leaves of the kakmachi can be applied locally on the affected regions.
Garlic- Take 2-3 cloves everyday with Khadirarishta10 ml+ Manjishthadi kvath10 ml+ 20 ml water.
Jasmine- The flowers of the jasmine have good effects in the treatment of psoriasis. The flowers are crushed, made into a paste and are mixed withwith neem oil and applied on affected part.
Kaishore Guggul- 2 pills thrice a day with lukewarm waterwater(1 glass at least)
Neem- Neem cap 1, Haridra cap 1 both twice a day with khadirarishta n manjishthadi kV.
Taruni kusumakar powder 1 tsp at nightnight
Note: Kakmachi and jasmine may be used separately for sustained effect. However it can be used simultaneously too but I would prefer separate though its time consuming.
Its a vat kaf disease hence treatment is along those lunes involving charm and rakt.
Food: Simple and light.
If you feel satisfied may ask any query

You might consider taking methotrexate if your family is completed. Azathioprine is another drug that can be considered but all the antimetabolites need expert supervision and frequent blood counts and other investigations.
It would be good to use topical agents too as they will relieve your symtoms almost instantly.
It is better to stick to one system of medicine. Please follow either allopathy or another system but do not club one system with another since there could be some drug interactions about which your treatemnt providers may not be aware of.
