Psoriasis is characterized by sharply defined erythematous squamous lesions. It is one of the commonest chronic, non-infectuous papulo-squamous disorder of the skin. Several treatment modalities are in existence in modern system of medicine; however they have limitations due to their side effects due to long time use. Considering this, search for new safe therapeutic regime in psoriasis is going on. The present paper presents some of the promising evidence based Ayurvedic therapeutic approaches in the management of psoriasis.
