Managing Scalp Psoriasis Through Ayurvedic Therapies: A Case Report.
Background: Psoriasis, a chronic inflammatory skin condition, poses significant management challenges due to its persistent nature, recurrences, and side effects associated with conventional therapies. Ayurveda correlates psoriasis with Ekakushtha (a type of skin disorder), primarily involving Vata-Kapha dosha imbalance.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Ayurvedic therapies, including Shodhana (Vamana, Raktamokshana) and Shamana (pacification medications), in managing scalp psoriasis.
Methodology: A 35-year-old male with chronic scalp psoriasis underwent Panchakarma, including Vamana (therapeutic emesis). Post-Shodhana, conservative management included 777 oil, Psora soap, Panchatikta Ghrita Guggulu, and Sut Shekhar Ras, along with Leech therapy (Raktamokshana) weekly for one month. Lifestyle and dietary modifications were also advised.
Results: The patient experienced significant relief from itching, scaling, erythema, and lesion thickness. Follow-up revealed improved scalp texture, reduced scaling, and absence of flare-ups. No adverse effects were reported.
Conclusion: Ayurvedic interventions combining detoxification (Shodhana) and pacification (Shamana) therapies demonstrated a safe and effective approach for managing scalp psoriasis, addressing systemic pathology while minimizing side effects. Further clinical trials are warranted to validate these findings.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
