Psoriasis is the result of a sped-up skin production process. Typically, skin cells grow deep in the skin and slowly rise to the surface. Eventually, they fall off. The typical life cycle of a skin cell is one month. In people with psoriasis, this production process may occur in just a few days. Because of this, skin cells don’t have time to fall off. This rapid overproduction leads to the buildup of skin cells. Scales typically develop on joints, such elbows and knees. They may develop anywhere on the body and cover the entire body at times.
W. tinctoria is the most commonly prescribed Siddha herbal medication for skin diseases, in specific psoriasis. Psora oil made from the fresh leaves of the plant exhibits various analgesic, anti-inflammatory, and antipyretic activities, and it is a highly cited medication for the treatment of psoriasis. Various studies have documented the topical and oral efficacy of the plant healing skin ravaged by psoriasis. Research indicates that the drug works at multiple levels to heal the skin, and prevent remissions.
- Nourishes and softens the epidermis
Disruption of lipid metabolism is an important characteristic feature in the pathogenesis of psoriasis. The continuous loss of lipids through the psoriatic lesions disrupts the lipid homeostasis. The coconut oil-based extract of W. Tinctoria restores lipid metabolism at the level of the epidermis and makes up for the lost nourishment by itself.
- Modulates immune reaction
Since psoriasis is an auto-immune disorder, the drug also works towards modulating humoral immunity at the site of the lesions, thereby preventing remissions.
Potent anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties prevent skin infections and hair loss. Also effective in preventing secondary infections of psoriatic skin lesions.
- Promotes timely cell death and regeneration.
Recent studies have also uncovered the capacity of the drug to promote apoptosis, i.e. Normal programmed cell death, pointing to its efficacy in supporting cancer treatment.
