Psoriasis & Eczema: Ayurvedic Skin Healing from the Inside Out

If you've been told psoriasis or eczema is "incurable" and you'll need steroids for life, there's a different perspective. At Mayura Hospitals, we treat the root cause — not just the skin. Because skin conditions are rarely just skin-deep.

Modern research confirms what Ayurveda has known for millennia: skin health begins in the gut. Both psoriasis and eczema are driven by:

• Intestinal permeability (leaky gut) — allowing inflammatory molecules to enter the bloodstream
• Dysbiosis — imbalanced gut bacteria that trigger immune overreaction
• Food sensitivities — particularly dairy, gluten, and nightshade vegetables
• Immune dysregulation — an overactive immune system attacking skin cells

• Virechana — therapeutic purgation to eliminate Pitta toxins from blood and liver
• Vamana — therapeutic emesis for Kapha-dominant skin conditions
• Raktamokshana — bloodletting through leech therapy for localized inflammation

• Takra Dhara — medicated buttermilk pouring for cooling inflamed skin
• Lepana — herbal paste applications with Neem, Turmeric, and Manjishtha
• Dhanyamla Dhara — fermented grain decoction pouring

• Manjishtha — the premier blood-purifying herb in Ayurveda
• Neem — antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory
• Khadira (Acacia) — classical remedy for chronic skin diseases
• Guduchi (Giloy) — immunomodulator that balances overactive immunity

• Eliminate trigger foods — dairy, gluten, processed sugar, and nightshades (for 6-8 weeks)
• Anti-inflammatory foods — turmeric, ginger, fatty fish, leafy greens
• Probiotic-rich foods — fermented vegetables, curd (if not dairy-sensitive)
• Hydration — adequate water intake for skin moisture and detoxification
• Omega-3 supplementation — fish oil or flaxseed oil
