If you are reading this, you have likely tried creams, ointments, and perhaps even steroids, only to see your skin condition return the moment you stop using them. I am Dr. Arun Radhesh R., and in my years of research and clinical practice, I have found that skin diseases—whether Psoriasis, Eczema, or Dermatitis—are rarely just “skin deep.” They are often a signal that your body’s internal purification system is overwhelmed. As a fourth-generation Ayurvedic physician with a Doctorate in medical research, I do not believe in suppressing symptoms. My goal is to cleanse your blood, restore your immunity, and help you achieve clear, healthy skin that lasts.
In Ayurveda, we understand chronic skin issues as Raktha Dushti (impurity of the blood) often caused by an imbalance in the Pitta and Kapha doshas. When toxins (Ama) accumulate in the liver and blood, they manifest on the skin as scaling, itching, and inflammation. Applying external creams without fixing this internal imbalance is like painting over a cracking wall—it hides the problem but doesn’t fix the foundation.
Flushing out accumulated toxins from the liver and gut.
Cleansing the blood to stop the inflammatory cycle.
Strengthening your skin barrier to prevent future flare-ups.
The treatment begins with a detailed Ayurvedic diagnosis to identify the root causes of psoriasis and chronic skin disorders. This includes assessing body constitution (Prakriti), dosha imbalance—especially Vata and Pitta—digestive strength, toxin accumulation (Ama), stress levels, lifestyle habits, and dietary patterns. Identifying personal triggers such as food intolerances, emotional stress, poor digestion, or environmental factors allows the treatment to be customized for long-term skin recovery rather than temporary symptom relief.
Once the root causes are identified, internal purification therapies are initiated through carefully planned Panchakarma procedures. These therapies help eliminate deep-seated toxins from the blood and tissues, balance aggravated doshas, and strengthen digestive fire (Agni). Panchakarma not only reduces inflammation, itching, scaling, and recurrence but also improves immunity and systemic balance, creating an internal environment that supports natural skin healing.
Alongside internal cleansing, external Ayurvedic treatments are applied directly to the affected skin to promote healing and regeneration. Medicated oils, herbal pastes, therapeutic baths, and specialized applications help soothe irritation, reduce dryness, scaling, and redness, and nourish damaged skin layers. These treatments calm the nervous system, improve circulation, and support faster tissue repair without suppressing symptoms, ensuring safe and holistic skin recovery.
Long-term management focuses on prevention through a personalized Pathya (diet and lifestyle regimen). This includes anti-inflammatory foods, proper meal timing, digestive support, stress management techniques, and daily routines that maintain dosha balance. By avoiding trigger foods and habits while following Ayurvedic dietary principles, patients can prevent flare-ups, maintain clear skin, and sustain overall health even after active treatment is completed.
Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition, meaning it is rooted in your body’s immune response. While no medical system can promise a “magic cure” that prevents it from ever coming back, my treatment focuses on long-term remission.
Skin healing is a process, not a quick fix. You will typically see a reduction in itching and redness within the first 7 to 10 days of internal medication and external applications.
Yes, diet is 50% of the cure in skin diseases. In Ayurveda, we identify “incompatible foods” (Viruddha Ahara) that trigger skin issues—such as sour curd, excessive salt, fermented foods, and certain seafood.
No, please do not stop abruptly. Stopping steroids suddenly can cause a severe “rebound effect” where the skin flares up worse than before. During your consultation, I will create a plan to safely taper off your steroid usage while simultaneously introducing Ayurvedic remedies to strengthen your skin naturally.
