1Psoriasis Siddha Medicine and Treatment
PSORIASIS IS A CHRONIC (Long-lasting) disease in
which the immune system becomes overactive
causing skin cells to multiply too quickly. The
patch of skin becomes scaly and inflamed most
often on the scalp and elbows, knees. Thick scaly
areas are called plaques. The acupoints of
psoriasis are located at the center base of your
neck, slightly off-center below the knee.
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition which means
it can flare up unexpectedly and is associated
with psoriatic arthroplasty, psychological,
cardiovascular and hepatic disease. Its not
known exactly why this happens but research
suggests its caused by a problem with the
immune system. Body cells produce new skin cells
in the deepest layer of skin. Psoriasis means
itching condition or being itchy. Dry thick
raised patches on the skin are common signs of
psoriasis. The patches are covered with silvery
white scales that tend to itch and
pain. Psoriasis is common and develops in people
of all races. The symptoms are plaques, issues
with fingernails, toe nails, and crust appearing
on the scalp. Psoriasis affects 80 of sufferers
and is a lifelong disease. Treatment from a
dermatologist is the correct way. Robert
William was the first physician to distinguish
psoriasis. Isnt contagious. Doesnt spread to
other people, but seems to pass down through
families. Psoriasis is usually within ten years,
but sometimes longer by arthritis. It affects the
eye, heart, lungs, liver and kidney. The five
types of psoriasis are plaque, nail, gutter,
pustular, and erythrodermic. Psoriasis-related
immune dysfunction may cause lung
parenchyma. Over stress, sunburn, infection,
some medication, dry weather, heavy alcohol
drinking, and environmental triggers develop
psoriasis. Treating psoriasis reduces psoriatic
arthritis, obesity, and depression. Psoriasis is
not generally considered life-threatening except
in cases of erythrodermic psoriasis. In three
percent to eighty-eight percent of cases,
patients report stress as being triggered for
the psoriasis. Vitamin D deficiency leads to
psoriasis. Discoloration is temporary and can
disappear. Some exposure needs to be spread over
time to improve skin appearance. Steroid cream
or ointment (topical corticosteroids) are
normally used to treat psoriasis. The treatment
reduces inflammation, slows the production of
skin cells and reduces itching. Psoriasis is
found more frequently in type OS. Stop smoking,
cutting down alcohol, losing weight in obesity,
stress relieving activity are the lifestyle
changes for psoriasis. Siddha Approaches for
