Ayurvedic Psoriatic Arthritis Treatment in Chennai
Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is an autoimmune condition that affects both the skin and the joints. It causes skin cells to build up faster than normal, forming thick, scaly patches, along with pain, stiffness and swelling in the joints. Our psoriatic arthritis treatment in Ayurveda at Shree Kriyas Ayurveda Hospitals, Chennai, cares for both.
Are you experiencing persistent joint pain, stiffness, and those characteristic skin lesions that
make everyday life a challenge? At Shree Kriyas Ayurveda Hospitals 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.

Personalized Ayurvedic Treatment for Psoriatic Arthritis at Shree Kriyas
At Shree Kriyas Ayurveda Hospitals, we believe in addressing the root cause of your Psoriatic Arthritis, not just managing the symptoms. Our experienced Ayurvedic practitioners in Chennai conduct a thorough assessment of your individual constitution (Prakriti), the specific imbalances (Vikriti) contributing to your condition, and your unique symptoms.
Based on this detailed evaluation, we craft a personalized treatment plan that integrates various Ayurvedic therapies to bring you relief and promote long-term well-being. Our comprehensive approach to managing Psoriatic Arthritis focuses on:
Vatakapha Hara Chikitsa
Therapies aimed at balancing the aggravated Vata and Kapha doshas, which are often implicated in the manifestation of PsA.
Snehana (Oleation Therapy)
Therapeutic application of medicated oils, both internally and externally, to lubricate tissues, reduce dryness, and pacify aggravated Vata.
Dhara Karma (Stream Therapy)
Gentle pouring of medicated liquids, such as oils or herbal decoctions, over specific body parts to soothe inflammation, relieve pain, and promote relaxation.
Avagahana (Immersion Therapy)
Medicated baths that help to alleviate pain, reduce stiffness, and improve circulation.
Lepanam (Herbal Paste Application)
Application of specially prepared herbal pastes to the affected skin areas to reduce inflammation, scaling, and itching.
Sroto Dushti Chikitsa (Channel Purification Therapy)
Addressing the contamination (Dushti) of the body’s channels (Srotas), particularly those related to blood and joints.
Raktamokshana (Bloodletting Therapy)
A carefully administered therapeutic procedure to detoxify the blood and alleviate inflammation, when deemed appropriate by our physicians.
Purgation (Virechana)
Gentle and controlled elimination therapy to remove accumulated toxins from the digestive tract, which can indirectly impact inflammatory conditions.
The Cornerstone of Detoxification and Rejuvenation: This five- fold detoxification and rejuvenation therapy plays a crucial role in managing PsA by eliminating harmful toxins (Ama) that contribute to inflammation and imbalance. Our Panchakarma treatments include:
- Snehanam (Internal and External Oleation): Preparing the body for
detoxification by loosening toxins. - Swedanam (Sudation Therapy): Inducing controlled sweating to further
mobilize toxins. - Vamanam (Therapeutic Emesis): To eliminate excess Kapha.
- Virechanam (Therapeutic Purgation): To eliminate excess Pitta and other toxins from the lower digestive tract.
- Vasti (Medicated Enema): Considered a primary treatment for Vata imbalances, Vasti involves the administration of medicated oils or decoctions through the anal route.
