Overview
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes the rapid buildup of skin cells, leading to scaling on the skin's surface. It can cause inflammation, redness, and pain. The patches sometimes crack and bleed. Psoriasis is the result of a sped-up skin production process, where skin cells grow deep in the skin and slowly rise to the surface. Eventually, they fall off. The typical life cycle of a skin cell is one month. In people with psoriasis, this production process may occur in just a few days, leading to a buildup of cells on the surface.

Homeopathic Approach
Homeopathy treats psoriasis by addressing the root immune imbalance rather than just suppressing symptoms. Remedies are selected based on the individual's complete health picture - physical symptoms, emotional state, and constitutional type. This approach aims to regulate the overactive immune response, reduce inflammation naturally, and promote healthy skin cell turnover. Common remedies include Arsenicum Album, Graphites, Sulphur, and Petroleum, chosen based on individual case analysis.
💬 A Note from Dr. Sharda
“Most patients with psoriasis see significant improvement within 3–6 months of consistent homeopathic treatment. I focus on understanding your unique triggers - whether stress, diet, or environmental - and create a personalized plan. Many of my patients have been able to reduce their dependency on steroid creams significantly.”
- Dr. Sharda Tawale, MD (Homeopath)
