Cheeks

Elbows

Outcome: The patient achieved complete remission, expressing immense relief and gratitude for the recovery.
Discussion:
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder with no definitive cure in conventional medicine. While modern treatments often focus on symptom management, recurrence is common. This case highlights the potential of Ayurvedic treatment in achieving complete resolution of chronic psoriasis, offering a natural and sustainable alternative to conventional therapies. The patient's rapid and lasting improvement suggests that Ayurveda may effectively address the underlying pathology of autoimmune skin conditions.
Conclusion:
This case demonstrates the efficacy of Ayurvedic treatment in resolving chronic psoriasis, achieving full remission where conventional medicine had limited success. The patient, who previously suffered from severe discomfort, social stigma, and professional difficulties, was able to regain normalcy in life after treatment at Indian Ayurvedic Hospital, Coimbatore. This case underscores Ayurveda’s role as a definitive therapeutic option for chronic dermatological conditions rather than merely a complementary approach.
