anxiety in patients. Many of the patients withdraw from active social life as the disease
attains chronicity. Several studies are pointing towards a conjoint management strategy
incorporating the traditional and alternate medical systems. In this regard, Ayurveda is
commonly used by psoriatic patients in India. Considering this fact it is high time to
conduct a study to scientifically evaluate the efficacy of Ayurvedic treatment protocol in
managing psoriasis as well as its potential to improve the quality of life.
