Skin, which is the largest organ of the body, regenerates itself approximately every 27 days. But the region of the skin affected by psoriasis, skin replaces itself within 3-4 days with the plenty of immature skin cells. This forms the thick psoriatic patches. Far from being a mere cosmetic issue, psoriasis can increase the risk of developing metabolic syndrome.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

    Siddha Treatment for psoriasis.<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The Siddha treatment for psoriasis mainly focuses on blood purifications and balancing the vitiated doshas rather than giving symptomatic relief.<\/p>\n

    Both the internal and external siddha medicines are employed in treating psoriasis.<\/p>\n

    The treatment starts with a preliminary detoxification therapy to get rid of the toxins accumulated in the body for years and to bring the doshas to their balanced state. After that,\u00a0internal siddha medicines like powerful poly herbal treated herbo-mineral medicines of single or compound mix like sendoorams [\u0b9a\u0bc6\u0ba8\u0bcd\u0ba4\u0bc2\u0bb0\u0bae\u0bcd], parpams [\u0baa\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bae\u0bcd] and mezugu [\u0bae\u0bc6\u0bb4\u0bc1\u0b95\u0bc1] etc are administered to purify the blood and strengthen the immune system.<\/p>\n

    The external medicine like topical application of medicated poly herbal oils [\u0bae\u0bc2\u0bb2\u0bbf\u0b95\u0bc8 \u0b8e\u0ba3\u0bcd\u0ba3\u0bc6\u0baf\u0bcd] is administered to get rid of scalings.<\/p>\n

    Also rejuvenating treatment [\u0b95\u0bb1\u0bcd\u0baa\u0bae\u0bcd] is given to strengthen the thaathus of body with strict diet regimen to prevent the recurrence.<\/p>\n

    As psoriasis disturbs the quality of life which leads to depression, hypertension etc. So, on the psychological side, stress management and lifestyle changes are advised. Based on the degree of the disease, the treatments are combined by the siddha physician to reduce stress and emotional imbalances.<\/p>\n

    Deep breathing, yoga, meditation, journaling, prayer, practicing gratitude, playing outside and sharing good conversation with friends are all great ways to reduce stress in your life.<\/p>\n

    Myths of psoriasis:<\/b><\/u><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
      \n
    • \n

      psoriasis is a communicable disease.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

      No psoriasis is not a contagious or communicable disease. It is an auto immune disease that affects skin.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Psoriasis is caused by poor hygiene.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

      As said before, Psoriasis is a multi factorial disease triggered by heredity, stress, environmental factor etc. It can not be attributed to the personnel poor hygiene.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Psoriasis is a cosmetic problem.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

      Since its symptoms are shown in skin, it is common to take it as a mere cosmetic problem. But the fact is it is a series, lifelong chronic auto immune disease. It may disappear sometime and can recur.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Psoriasis is only physical problem.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

      No,it cannot be ruled out as an physical problem, as it affects the psychological level leading to emotional imbalances, depression and stress. So it has to be treated at mental level also. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Psoriasis can not be treated.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

      While there is no cure for psoriasis in other medicine systems, it is treatable in siddha medicine. Siddhar Agathiyar says, psoriasis is a kanma noi, but has never said asaathiya noi, meaning it can be treatable. Again Doctors treat but God heals.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
