    TLDR Ayurvedic treatment significantly improved psoriasis symptoms.
    A 52-year-old male with plaque psoriasis, characterized by brownish, silvery patches and itching, was treated using Ayurvedic principles correlating psoriasis with Eka Kustha, a condition caused by Vata and Kapha dosha imbalance. The treatment included Shamana Ausadhis, local applications, and dietary guidelines. Significant improvement was noted, with the PASI score decreasing from 6.5 to 1.04, indicating an 84% improvement. This suggests the Ayurvedic protocol is effective and safe for managing psoriasis and potentially macular amyloidosis.
