Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells, resulting in thick, red, scaly patches. These patches can appear anywhere on the body and often cause itching, discomfort, and sometimes pain. While not contagious, psoriasis can significantly impact a person's quality of life.
At RJR Herbal Hospitals, we specialise in treating psoriasis using time-tested Ayurveda and Siddha herbal therapies. Our holistic approach focuses on balancing the body's doshas, detoxifying the skin naturally, and providing long-lasting relief — without surgery or harmful side effects.
What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic, non-contagious autoimmune condition in which the immune system mistakenly accelerates the skin cell lifecycle. Normally, skin cells grow and shed over weeks; in psoriasis, this process happens in days, causing cells to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin. The excess skin cells form scales and red patches that can be itchy and sometimes painful.
In Ayurveda, psoriasis is closely correlated with Kitibha Kushtha — a skin disease caused by vitiation of Vata and Kapha doshas along with accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the body. Our Siddha and Ayurvedic treatments address the root cause by restoring doshic balance and purifying the blood naturally.
Symptoms of Psoriasis
- Red patches of skin covered with thick, silvery scales
- Dry, cracked skin that may bleed or itch
- Itching, burning, or soreness around affected areas
- Thickened, pitted, or ridged nails
- Stiff and swollen joints (psoriatic arthritis in some cases)
- Scaling spots common in children (guttate psoriasis)
- Cyclic flares that worsen for weeks, then subside
Common Types of Psoriasis
Psoriasis presents in several forms. Our doctors diagnose the exact type to create your personalised treatment plan:
🔴 Plaque Psoriasis
The most common form, featuring raised, inflamed, scaly patches on skin.
💧 Guttate Psoriasis
Small, drop-shaped spots on the trunk, often triggered by infections.
🔵 Inverse Psoriasis
Occurs in skin folds such as under arms, groin, or behind knees.
⚪ Pustular Psoriasis
Produces white pustules surrounded by red, inflamed skin.
🌡️ Erythrodermic Psoriasis
Severe, widespread redness and scaling that requires urgent medical care.
💅 Nail Psoriasis
Affects fingernails and toenails, causing pitting, discolouration, and separation.
Causes and Triggers of Psoriasis
While the exact cause of psoriasis is unknown, it involves an overactive immune response that speeds up skin cell production. Common triggers that can worsen or initiate psoriasis flares include:
- Stress and anxiety
- Infections such as strep throat or skin infections
- Cold, dry weather conditions
- Skin injuries like cuts, scrapes, or sunburn
- Certain medications (lithium, beta-blockers, antimalarials)
- Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
- Hormonal changes
- Poor diet and accumulation of toxins (Ama) in the body

Did you know? Psoriasis is a systemic condition — not just a skin problem. Ayurveda and Siddha treat it from the inside out by purifying the blood and restoring doshic balance, giving you lasting relief rather than temporary suppression.
Why Choose Ayurveda & Siddha Over Conventional Treatment?
Conventional psoriasis treatments such as steroids, biologics, and immunosuppressants can provide short-term relief but often come with significant side effects and dependency risks. Ayurveda and Siddha treatments at RJR Herbal Hospitals address the root cause of psoriasis — not just the symptoms — by correcting internal imbalances, purifying the blood, and rebuilding the body's natural defence mechanism.
Our doctors combine centuries-old wisdom with modern diagnostic understanding to design a comprehensive, personalised plan for each patient. Many patients who had tried conventional treatments for years have found lasting relief through our natural approach.
Psoriasis and Mental Well-Being
Living with psoriasis can significantly affect self-esteem, confidence, and mental health. At RJR Herbal Hospitals, we understand that healing is not just physical. Our holistic programme includes stress management, counselling, and yoga-based breathing techniques to support your emotional well-being alongside skin healing. When stress levels drop, psoriasis flares often reduce as well.
