Psoriasis is a chronic skin disorder in which lesions tend to form on your knees, elbows, chest and other parts of your body.The exact cause still remains a mystery; some cases may be triggered by viral infections, immunization or a period of extreme stress. Psoriasis can be considered as the vitiation of Vata and Kapha.
Ayurvedic psoriasis treatment is a process of purification and rejuvenation, which aims at the detoxification of the body or elimination of toxins from the body fluids. It is achieved by “Panchkarma” treatment, which lasts for 21 to 28 days with internal and external medications purely of plant origin.
The Treatment Schedule is
I. Consumption of medicated ghee, considering the Dosha type of the Psoriasis and the person, for 5 to 7 days.
II. Detoxifying, by inducing vomiting (Vamana) and purgation (Virechana).
III. Application of medicated oil on the head.
IV. Application of medicated pack on the head.
V. Pouring of medicated fluid/other liquids on the head in slow unbroken stream for a specified time (Dhara).
VI. Therapeutic Yoga, Meditation, Reiki and Pranic healing sessions.
The net result of the treatment is
I. Blood Purification by Snehapanam.
II. Stimulation of hypothalamus by Dhara resulting in temperature regulation of the body.
III. Stabilizing the blood chemistry by ensuring balanced nutritious food, which are more alkaline than acidic.
IV. Immunization of the body.
V. Achieve a psychological state of mental well-being by application of Yoga, Meditation, Reiki; Pranic healing etc.
Apart from keeping a state of mental calmness, psoriatic has to follow a strict diet regime during the entire treatment period and it is better to continue as vegetarian. Yogurt, black gram, chilies and salted thing are to be restricted. If it is in the initial stage it can be cured with out much delay. Other wise regular treatment continuing for months will be needed it is better to avoid refrigerated/chilled foods.

Is your life spiraling toward a stress-filled void? Maybe it is time to rein in and take stock.The first step would be to identify areas of stress and choose to reduce the stress in your life. You live life but once. The choice is ultimately yours to make - the choice to either spin out of control and crash or to stop and smell the roses. So make a conscious choice.
Here are some common stress - filled areas.
A boss with an attitude -Remind yourself that his/her attitude is his/her problem not yours. But do keep an open mind when he/she speaks. You may have made a genuine mistake and maybe he/she has a valid point.
A sluggish employee - Identify jobs he is good at. An incentive would certainly be welcome.
Here is some food for thought -You are not indispensable at your work place. If you were to die today, your company will mourn you for maybe a couple of days. But life goes on! They will find someone else to replace you. But to your family you are irreplaceable.
So reorganize your priorities.At home - Procrastination is the thief of time. So do not put off until tomorrow what you can do today. A Placefor everything and everything its place is a maxim worth adhering to. Same goes for time.Delegate work!.Stop worrying about what other people think. No matter what you do there always will be someone in the negative camp.
Don’t say yes when you want to say No.Spring clean your mind. Detoxify old grudges. Throw out negative thoughts. Once in a while it pays to remain silent while your spouse goes on and on. Mentally silent too.
In conclusion - A totally stress free life style is a fantasy. Make small relevant changes in your life style and stress in killer doses can be chopped down to bite-sized pieces.

Ayurveda is recognized the world over as one of the ancient systems of treatment for maintaining good health as well as in curing diseases. This Indian system of medicine uses medicinal plants in formulations of medicines and its healing practices has been influenced not only in India but also in many countries. There is growing awareness of Ayurvedic system of medicine but still many of the individuals who would like to avail the ayurvedic system of treatment fail to get the optimum benefit from this system of medicine due to a variety of reasons.
Like any systems of medicine, diagnosis and the kind of treatment offered are the most important criteria to get a positive result to the ailments of the patient. It is truer when it comes to Ayurveda. The first and foremost thing to do is to check the veracity of the qualifications and experience of the Ayurveda Doctor before you consult the doctor. Always try to get an opinion from your friends and relatives about the Doctor and the Hospital you wish to consult. It is more important to choose the Consulting Doctor and the Hospital based on the ailment of the patient since some Hospitals and Doctors are specialized in providing certain kinds of exclusive treatment for particular diseases.
When the treatment is availed from an Ayurvedic institution, the leading practitioners of the Institute are to be verified, the specialized treatment offered by the Hospital and the fees charged for treatment speciality-wise are to be confirmed in advance. It is always better to go through the brochure of the Hospital to check the treatment offered and the speciality engaged by them for such treatment.
When it comes to Massage treatment It is also advisable to see whether the particular Hospital has been conferred the approved status, if any by the State Government. Since many of the Ayurvedic treatments, especially that for prolonged diseases require hospitalisation, you are required to check the facilities provided by them like room comforts, food, staying arrangements for by-standers and the facilities they could provide as to your other personal requirements.
Because of the popularity of the Ayurvedic system of medicine, there are many barefoot doctors in the country, and hence, credibility as to their qualifications and experience are to be verified and confirmed when you select a doctor or an Hospital for your treatment.

What is Gout?
Ayurveda considers gout as one of the diseases caused due to the imbalance of the Vaata (wind) element in the body. Pitta (bile) and Kapha (phlegm) are the other two elements. In a healthy individual these three elements are balanced. Disturbance of any element causes innumerable diseases. In fact, Vaata alone causes some 80 odd diseases, gout being just one of them.
Gout is known in Ayurveda as rakhthavaata or sandhivaata (akin to rheumatoid arthritis) depending on the joints affected. General symptoms are tenderness, swelling, pain and accumulation of fluids in the joints, mostly of limbs.
What causes Gout?
Vaata-related diseases in general are caused by excessive and constant use of pungent, bitter or astringent food, sleeplessness, excessive physical effort, suppression of bodily urges, dissipation and physical injuries. Faulty lifestyle is an important factor leading to aggavation of Vaata diseases.
Ayurveda emphasises the role of antagonistic food (viruddhaahara) in causing diseases. For instance, milk is not compatible with fish, meat with honey and so on. Consuming incompatible food causes the disturbance of the three elements which in turn manifests itself as disease of some organ.
Treatment of Gout
Ayurveda offers effective cure for Gout and other arthritic diseases. A generic treatment for all Vaata related diseases is the use of extract in kashaya form of the medicinal herb Arrowleaf Sida (Sida rhombifolia).
Specific treatment depends on the nature and severity of the illness and the constitutional type of the patient. Such treatment should be started only after consultation with a qualified Ayurvedic physician.
The five evacuative procedures (Panchakarma) is a time tested remedy for diseases caused due to disturbance of the three elements. It also has preventive and rejuvinative properties.
