Psoriasis is a chronic, multisystem inflammatory disease with predominantly skin and joint involvement. In addition to genetics and altered immune function, several other risk factors may predispose patients to psoriasis such as environmental triggers, medications, psychogenic stressors. A 50-year-old woman was admitted in National Institute of Siddha (NIS) with a severe form of Psoriasis. The patient suffering by hyper-pigmented patches with scaling occurred all over the body. Based on the report and clinical examination the physicians diagnosed this was a Psoriasis. The patient used to get admitted every year due to the aggravation of symptoms. She was recovered completely from all the symptoms by Siddha Internal Medications ‘Rasagandhi Mezhugu, Palagarai Parpam, Parangippattai Chooranam and Sangu Parpam’ and Siddha External Medications ‘Arugan Thailam, Pungan Thailam and Vatha Kesari Thailam’. This case report indicates that Psoriasis can be well treated with Siddha medicines.
