Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Psoriasis is a non-infectious inflammatory disease of the skin characterized by well-defined erythematous (reddish) plaques with large adherent silvery scales. The exact cause of psoriasis is not known although it is activated by the immune system and is related to allergic reactions. In Ayurveda, numerous formulations have been described to treat skin diseases. Saribadyarista, basically a blood purifier, is one of the most famous Ayurvedic medicines, used to treat all kinds of skin disorders. In this study we have shown that Saribadyarista can effectively be used to treat psoriatic disorder. This is a case report of 23-year-old male where Saridadyarista is used to manage psoriasis. The duration of the study was twelve months and follow-up was done for one month. Our subject showed good results as it improved the quality of life in terms of Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). This case report may open up a new era in the management of psoriasis.
