Have you heard of any specific treatment for psoriasis?
My sister suffers from psoriasis and it's getting worse. I would like to help her and if possible send her to a specialized ayurvedic centre in India.
Thanks

Psoriasis is a challenge for medical community. It is considered a genetic disease and is an autoimmune disorder.
A very detailed description is available in ayurvedic texts about this disease. This disease is described as AKK kushta in Ayurveda, where fish like scales appear on the skin.
Ayurvedic theory agrees with Modern theory of autoimmune origin, stress and effects of climatic changes on Psoriasis. But in Ayurvedic texts we also see a very detailed reasoning with regard to Triggers of Psoriasis.
The main triggers of skin disease according to ayurveda are,
Using of opposite quality of foods at the same time, That is using Yogurd with Milk, or Fish with Milk, or ACHAR (Pickle) with Milk or Honey with Ghee (Butter), These are opposite foods and if taken together, they produce slow poisons in our body. I have seen people taking fish preparations and cheese preparations along with alcohol, this is a deadly combination and can easily lead to skin diseases, because fish and milk products like cheese are contraindicated.
Using cold drinks and cold water when you are in stress or after having hard physical work this is just like an injury to skin and It is a proven fact that injury to skin triggers psoriasis (koebners sign).
Taking heavy meals in short durations without getting earlier meals properly digested. This also produces slow poisons which gets released in the blood.
Having sex within one hour of taking meals, because one hour is minimum required time for our body to secrete the juices to digest the meal. If our attention is diverted towards sex then these juices are produced in less quantity in which case the undigested food will get converted into slow poisons.
Normal Sleeping mode takes our body into hibernation. Any sleep session during day time in addition to night time normal sleep may cut the time available to our system to cleanze our body. therefore Ayurveda Texts strongly recomend to avoid any additional day time sleep except in very hot summer season.
Stopping the natural Vegas (waste disposal system of our body). Stool ,Urine and Semen are natural Vegas, which should not be stoped. If we are having constipation then part of the toxins present in stool gets re absorbed in the form of slow poisons into our blood system and they come out through our skin in the form of skin diseases including Psoriasis.
Taking heavy meals in breakfast, lunch and dinner on a single day makes it difficult to digest and produces toxins in the body.
Excessive use of yogurd, black pepper and sea food in regular meals and lesser exposure to sun light are some of the triggers to psoriasis disease.
