Abstract

Psoriasis is a long-lasting autoimmune skin condition characterized by an overgrowth of skin cells and widespread inflammation throughout the body. According to Siddha medicine, psoriasis is viewed as a result of imbalances in Aiyam (Kabam), which leads to disturbances in Mukkutram (Vatham, Pitham, Kabam). This article delves into the connection between Aiyam malfunction and immune system irregularities, shedding light on Siddha pathophysiology, diagnostic indicators, and comprehensive healing methods aimed at reinstating Niraivu Nilai (homeostasis).

Keywords
