Finding Relief and Renewed Well-being from Psoriatic Arthritis in Chennai

Are you experiencing persistent joint pain, stiffness, and those characteristic skin lesions that
make everyday life a challenge? At Shree Kriya Hospital in Chennai, we understand the
multifaceted impact of Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) on your physical and emotional well-being.
We offer a holistic, time-tested Ayurvedic approach to help you manage your symptoms,
improve your quality of life, and embark on a journey towards renewed comfort and vitality.

Psoriatic Arthritis is more than just joint pain; it’s a complex autoimmune condition where
your body’s defense system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, leading to an accelerated
production of skin cells. This rapid cell turnover results in the accumulation of dead cells,
forming the thick, scaly plaques commonly associated with psoriasis. While PsA often
develops in individuals already diagnosed with psoriasis or those with a family history of the
condition, its impact extends far beyond the skin.

In the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda, PsA finds its correlation in the understanding of Vata
Raktha, although it is recognized as a complication of Eka Kustha (a broader category
encompassing skin disorders). Ayurveda views this condition as an imbalance of the body’s
vital energies, particularly the Vata and Kapha doshas, leading to the vitiation of Raktha
(blood) and affecting the Asthi vaha srotas (channels related to bones and joints).
Importantly, Ayurveda acknowledges that while PsA may be Yapya (controllable), consistent
and personalized management is key to living well with the condition.

discomfort and limiting mobility. The commonly affected areas include:
