World Psoriasis Day 2025: Understanding and Managing Psoriasis
On October 29, 2025, we observe World Psoriasis Day, focusing on the interconnectedness of psoriatic disease. This year's theme, "Psoriatic Disease and Comorbidities Understanding the Domino Effect, highlights the serious health risks linked to psoriatic disease, including heart disease, diabetes, mental health disorders, and more. 

What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that accelerates skin cell production, leading to thick, scaly patches. It commonly affects areas such as the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. While the exact cause isn't fully understood, genetic factors and environmental triggers like stress, infections, and certain medications play a significant role.

Symptoms to Watch For
Psoriasis manifests as red or pink patches with silvery scales, often accompanied by itching, burning, or soreness. The affected skin may be dry or cracked and can bleed. Nail changes, such as thickening or pitting, and joint pain or swelling (psoriatic arthritis) are also common.

Conventional Treatments
Standard treatments aim to reduce inflammation and slow skin cell turnover:
·Topical treatments: Corticosteroids, vitamin D analogues, and retinoids
·Phototherapy: Exposure to ultraviolet light
·Systemic medications: Oral drugs and biologics
·Lifestyle changes: Stress management, weight control, and avoiding triggers

Ayurvedic Approach
Ayurveda offers a holistic approach to managing psoriasis by addressing underlying imbalances:
·Detoxification: Panchakarma therapies to remove toxins
·Herbal remedies: Use of herbs like neem, turmeric, and guggulu to reduce inflammation
·Dietary adjustments: Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods and avoiding irritants
·Lifestyle practices: Yoga and meditation to manage stress
Research indicates that Ayurveda can be effective in managing chronic psoriasis when combined with conventional treatments.
