Have you ever wondered why you have acne or rashes on your skin when you eat too much junk or spicy foods? Well, the health of your organs inside your body can directly impact your skin and its condition on the outside. In fact, a leaky gut, which is often associated with constipation, diarrhoea, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is said to cause your psoriasis to flare up. To say the least, the skin condition actually originates within the intestinal tract in the colon or gut, and that’s where the remedy also lies. Ayurveda, too, can be effective in treating the condition.
It is a skin disease that leads to rashes with itchy and scaly patches. This common, long-term (chronic) disease generally has no cure and it can flare up every few weeks or months, before subsiding for a while. The ideal treatment for it is actually trying to alter lifestyle habits and coping strategies to deal with psoriasis in a better way.
Ayurveda and gut health coach Dr Dimple Jangda, in her latest Instagram post, has revealed the connection between the two. “When your gut or colon is releasing the toxins in your bloodstream, your body is desperate to get these toxins out. So it brings it towards the surface of the skin to get rid of them through the form of sweat, but the toxins are too big. Hence, they get accumulated on the skin and cause psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and other skin diseases,” she says.
According to Dr Jangda, here’s what you can do:
