Psoriasis and Lichen planus is a metabolic disorder and not a disease - Curable with proper management of metabolic system...

It has been seen that many countries have patients with various skin diseases in the majority. Among all types of skin diseases, Psoriasis, vitiligo, Lichen planus, and dry eczema, the most troublesome and not easily manageable. Many dermatologists and other skin specialists considering it as a "Disease" Here, I would like to draw the attention of our readers that the disorders and diseases have major differences to each other. "Disease is a particularly distinctive process in the body with a specific cause and characteristic symptoms whereas Disorder is an Irregularity, disturbance, or interruption of normal functions in the whole body".

From the above definition, we may say that Psoriasis causes due to high disturbances in our poor gastrointestinal activities rather we can say the person who has a poor digestive system may be high in risk to develop metabolic disorder because of the accumulation of unwanted substances in the body that after a period get converted as slow poison and that ultimately start targeting to the vital organs of the body by slowing its function and ultimately the whole body system would be disturbed. Skin is the outermost layer of the human body and the vital organs that not functioning properly may not be able to fulfill energy and oxygen demand to the cellular level of the body system as a result cells will be dying before their duration at the same time body started to generate new cell to maintain healthy the particular areas of the body. In this manner, the death of the premature cell or tissues and formation of new cells repeatedly in the fast way resulting the skin to make withering of silvery plague and also due to sensitiveness, the itching will start. As much as body cell reaction is there the itching will be worst and even sometimes not manageable. 

Blood oozing has been observed due to vigorous itching that also helps in spreading the skin disorders. The condition becomes more worst when patients trying to itch their skin with fingers and nails. Itching with nails may have many chances to invite bacterial invasion at the affected areas and that may lead to another problem for the patient. A person who has such skin complaints should have a regular cut of nails, the neat and clean blunt comb may be used to manage to itch and that should keep separately from other person reaches.

From the above, it is very clear that we have to maintain a good digestive system, constipation should not prolong. If a person has no free motion, they are advised to consult with any Physician or Gastroenterologist to resolve the issue. Please do not take constipation or regular acid formation in the body in an easy way. It is an indication that your body should not support you properly in healthy manners in the future.

Constipation and poor digestion may not allow the food to digest but it is spoiling inside the stomach and intestine as a result of the formation of toxic substances and bad cholesterol. The toxic substances may deteriorate the normal function of the liver, pancreas, lungs, kidney and the bad cholesterol may deposit in the various arteries resulting in narrowing of the arteries that after sometime conversion as heart attacks, even brain hemorrhage is also observed due to poor digestion. 

What should be done to avoid such skin complaints and if already exist, how to manage them?

Yes ! this is the major question about everybody likes to know.  Might, you have heard that the Allopathic System of medicines can manage such skin disorder well by treating with steroid added medicines and some chemotherapic treatment, etc. but no guarantee to cure them, Is it?  

Yes! treating an ailment without considering the root cause will surely make a questionable treatment to the patient resulting in wasting of time and money and more deposition of the toxic substances in the body that may invite various other problems. Pantoprazole-like medicines may give some relaxation in avoiding acidic formation and gastric troubles but is it a solution of treatment? I hope your answer will be NO. 

So, What should do? Yes! we have to find the root cause to treat the ailment from its origin as in many of the cases it has been seen that psoriasis and lichen planus is not by birth and the parental history also very clear means there is no role of Genetics to transfer the gene from one generation to the other. No doubt, the hereditary is involved in case of skin disease but is just 10-15 %. The majority of cases found developing skin disease due to their habit, lifestyle, food style, mental stress, Psychological stress, hormonal disturbances, mainly thyroid hormones. 

As per Ayurvedic principles, causal factors of any disease are directly related to the disturbances in three doshas (Vata, Kapha & Pittas). If these three energies are maintained well in the body, many more ailments will not exist in our life, so, the best way to manage this disease is not to ignore continuous constipation, gas troubles, breathing disorders, etc. If the same persists more than a fortnight, we have to rush to a good physician or gastroenterologist and request them to make arrangements to perform some tests on the total blood profile, thyroid hormones, and along with them to starts medicines for body detoxifications. Nowadays, even children have thyroid hormone issues, so, it will not be ignored. We should avoid taking multivitamins and food supplements in the form of tablets or capsules etc. until unless it is not prescribed.  Natural supplements like green vegetable mixed salads, fiber-rich foods, etc may help to manage the disease. 

A restricted combination of food (please consult Nutritionologist), excess spicy food, masala, oily, and fried food items, ice cream, cool drinks, packed food items, bakery, and hotel food should be avoided during treatment. Intake of non-veg, egg, pickles, sour curd, red chilly, and citrus food may be reduced. It is observed that regular exercise especially deep breathing (Pranayam) along with the detoxification treatment (detoxification treatment should be taken under the supervision of the relevant Physician only)           gives wonderful results. Because inhaling more fresh air through the nostril (morning time) boosting the body on cellular levels that may help to stop dying cells in premature conditions and stopping the fast formation of new cells in affected areas resulting in curtailing of itching and sensitiveness. If itching controls, the good sign is started to curing this ailment.

In my coming blog, we will discuss some oil and ointment that can be prepared at home very easily and apply to affected areas externally. This external application has shown effective results along with the restrictions of diet and detoxification.  

Note: The above article is the practical observation of the Author, who has more than 24 years of experience in the field of medical research, treatment, and testing of medicines (ISM Drugs) and presently working as Head of the Division at Quality Assurance Wings, India. 

Stay Healthy & Stay Safe.
