Description
Psora herbal oil brings you the potent healing properties of ‘Wrightia tinctoria’ infused in a nourishing base of Coconut oil. Known as ‘Sweta kutaja’ in Sanskrit and ‘Danthapala’ in Malayalam, it is widely used in Ayurveda and Siddha Practice to promote skin health and rejuvenation in patients with chronic conditions like psoriasis and eczema. We employ the tradtional method of ‘Aditya paka’ or Sunlight insolation to extract the medicinal properties of the plant leaves. This ensures maximum therapeutic efficiency and preservation of heat-liable elements in the extract.
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 herbalmedication 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 andoral efficacy of the plant healing skin ravaged by psoriasis. Research indicated that the drug works at multiple levels to heal the skin, and prevent remissions;
- 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 nourishement by itself.
- 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.
- 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.
Benefits of the Coconut oil base:
- Increases hydration. Coconut oil helps bolster your skin’s protective barrier layer, trapping moisture inside and keeping skin supple and hydrated.
- Reduces inflammation. Coconut oil has anti-inflammatory properties, making it beneficial for irritated, chafed skin.
- Increases collagen production. The lauric acid content in coconut oil has a beneficial effect on collagen production. Collagen helps skin maintain firmness and elasticity. Helping skin maintain and produce collagen might eliminate the formation of some fine lines and wrinkles.
- Lightens dark patches. Coconut oil can lighten skin and may help reduce the appearance of dark spots or uneven skin tone.
