Abstract: The body's health and disease are reflected in the largest organ, the skin. All skin conditions are grouped under the Kushtha Rogacategory in the old Ayurvedi Samhita. The skin has more cosmetic significance in today's society, which helps people feel more confident and like themselves while also cultivating a positive outlook. A persistent, non infectious inflammatory skin condition known as psoriasis is characterized by well defined erythematous plaques with a silvery scale. The main causes of the disease's worsening include psychological stress, physical injury, and gut dysbiosis. The patient experiences distress due to any change in skin tone on a mental and physical level. Daily activities are hampered by the patient's papulo -squamous skin lesion's scaling and itching, which is brought on by the autoimmune disease psoriasis. Due to how frequently it manifests, the disease has remained a serious problem. For this illness, there is no known cure. Although it offers symptomatic relief, modern medicinefrequently has adverse long-term effects.
