Abstract:
Psoriasis is a multifunctional autoimmune skin disease with inflammatory and vascular changes. Recent developments show potential for herbal therapies and novel drug delivery systems. A chronic inflammatory skin illness, psoriasis affects 2-5 % of the world's population. It usually manifests itself among individuals of various ages. Redness, swelling, and itching are the hallmarks of psoriasis. Activation of T cells, release of cytokines, abnormal keratinocyte proliferation, altered local vascular structure, neutrophil activation, and inflammation all contribute to psoriasis. The epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis are the skin's surface membranes that are damage by psoriasis. Common therapies include topical, systemic, phototherapy, herbal, and natural agents. There are several subtypes of psoriasis, such as psoriasis arthritis, guttate psoriasis, nail psoriasis, and plaque psoriasis. Natural remedies for psoriasis include neem, turmeric, aloe Vera, turmeric, ginger, and tea tree oil, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities. This review will provide details on the use of herbs for management in psoriasis.
