Palmoplantar Psoriasis
What is Palmoplantar Psoriasis
Palmoplantar psoriasis is a chronic psoriatic condition affecting the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
Homeopathically, it is considered a manifestation of deep constitutional imbalance, where the vital force is disturbed and the body attempts to expel morbid matter through thick-skinned areas.
The condition often reflects a psoric or sycotic constitution, aggravated by stress, suppression of skin eruptions, or internal toxins.
कारण
- Constitutional weakness and hereditary predisposition.
- Suppression of skin eruptions elsewhere in the body.
- Stress, anxiety, or emotional strain affecting immunity.
- Excessive friction, trauma, or repeated use of hands and feet.
- Exposure to chemicals, detergents, or irritants.
- Internal imbalance of metabolic, digestive, or hormonal systems.
लक्षण
- Red, thickened patches on palms and soles.
- Painful cracking, fissures, or scaling that can bleed.
- Burning, stinging, or itching sensations.
- Thick, yellowish or white plaques in severe cases.
- Difficulty in walking, gripping, or performing daily tasks due to pain.
- Recurrent flare-ups triggered by stress or injury.
Homeopathic Interpretation & Approach
Homeopathy views palmoplantar psoriasis as a reflection of deep internal imbalance, rather than a superficial skin problem.
The vital force is disturbed, leading to accumulation of morbid matter, which expresses through thickened, cracked, and inflamed skin.
Homeopathic treatment focuses on:
- Purifying the system internally
- Balancing the constitution
- Relieving inflammation and pain
- Preventing recurrence by strengthening the vital force
