Psoriasis affects approximately 1.5-3% of Caucasians. Psoriasis is known to have a negative impact on the quality of life of both the affected person and the individual’s family members. All the skin disease in Ayurveda has been discussed under heading of Kushtha, which further divides into Mahakushtha and Kshudrakushtha.
