For people suffering from psoriasis, the symptoms may worsen as the Winter season kicks in. This is primarily due to little or no exposure to UV rays from the sun that prevent the growth of skin cells responsible for causing psoriasis. The lack of humidity during winter also results in dryness-related psoriasis symptoms.
Ayurvedic treatments, like the ones listed below, can greatly help alleviate joint-pain:
- Lepa – Involves the application of external herbal pastes on the affected region
- Abhyanga – An age-old practice that involves massaging the joints with medicinal oil
- Parisheka – Showering or sprinkling herbal/medicinal liquids/milk over the pain areas
- Avagahana – Avagahana involves dipping parts or joints in medicinal liquids or milk
- Upanaha – The process of placing a heated moist herbal mass on the affected area
Aligning yourself to the rhythms of nature is the key to living a balanced life and maintaining healthy levels of Vata and Kapha. Both diet and lifestyle play an important role in helping you achieve this. Having a personalized routine goes a long way in contributing to the vitality and positivity of your being. In the end, attuning your body and mind to nature’s cycle is the key goal of Ayurveda which can help you lead a mindful and healthy life.
