ABSTRACT:
Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder characterized by inflammation and scaling. Conventional treatments often focus on symptom management rather than holistic healing. Yoga, an ancient practice rooted in physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation, has shown promising results in alleviating stress and inflammation, both of which play a critical role in psoriasis. This paper explores the impact of yoga on psoriasis management, reviewing scientific literature, underlying mechanisms, and proposing a structured yoga regimen with supporting references.
