A
n autoimmune disease condition arises due to abnormal
immune system response. Psoriasis is one of very
common auto immune disease. Case presented here is of
thirty two year old male patient who have been suffering from
psoriasis since last ten years. He had red itchy patches on both
limbs and scalp with white silvery scales on its top. Ayurvedic
treatment was started for his psoriasis, in which he was given
purification therapy procedure known as Vamana followed
by Takradhara for 21 days. Along-with, this he was given
Mahatiktaka ghrit 20 ml with Mahamanjishtadi Kashaya 40 ml
twice a day during Takradhara procedure. During Takradhara
he was also given Virechana, another purification (Shodhana
therapy) with Avipathi Churna. In continuation of this treatment
he was given Talapodichhil (panchkarma procedure) treatment
for another fourteen days along with Rasayana (rejuvenate)
therapy with the herb
Plumbago zeylanica
. After these
panchkarma procedures patient was given mahamanjishtadi
kashayam 40ml and kaishore guggulu two tablets twice day for
six months. With above treatment patient showed relief in all
clinical parameters, particularly his itching and silvery scales
disappeared. After 6 months, it was found that Ayurvedic
treatment showed improvement in both Psoriasis Area
and Severity Index (PASI) score along with Dermatological
Life Quality Index (DLQI). The above case study shows that
Ayurveda is a ray of hope for such chronic autoimmune
disease like psoriasis and further extensive studies should be
carried out for such treatment modalities which may prove very
beneficial for people suffering from psoriasis.
