Jump to How Ayurveda explains psoriasis - Ayurvedic texts say that psoriasis arises due to an imbalance of two "doshas," or areas of energy. Practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine call these the "Vata" and "Kapha". Kapha is responsible for growth, and so Ayurvedic practitioners explain the itching and rapid skin cell turnover using this dosha.
