Every single day, Dr. Chaithanya KS meets patients who have spent years and lakhs of rupees cycling through steroids, biologics, phototherapy, and home remedies—only to face rebound flares, thinning skin, and hopelessness. After healing more than 12,000 individuals at Psoriasis Treatment Bangalore, he is asked one question more than any other: “Which is the best psoriasis treatment?”
The answer isn’t found in a single pill, injection, or laser. The best psoriasis treatment is the one that addresses the root cause, delivers long-term remission, avoids side effects, and fits your lifestyle—and for 80–90% of Dr. Chaithanya’s patients, that treatment is his signature 5-Pillar Ayurvedic Protocol.
In this exhaustive, evidence-backed guide, we compare all major psoriasis treatments—from modern dermatology to Ayurveda—using real patient outcomes, scientific studies, cost analysis, and 20 years of clinical data. By the end, you’ll know exactly which treatment is best for you, and how to start your journey to clear, confident skin.

The Global Quest for the “Best” Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis affects 125 million people worldwide, including 2–3% of Indians. The global psoriasis treatment market is worth $30 billion (2025), driven by biologics like Secukinumab and Ixekizumab. Yet, patient satisfaction remains below 50% (National Psoriasis Foundation, 2024). Why? Because no universal “best” exists—effectiveness depends on root-cause correction.
Dr. Chaithanya KS teaches:
“The ‘best’ treatment is not the most expensive or advanced. It is the one that removes Ama, balances doshas, and restores Agni—so the body stops attacking itself. This is Ayurveda’s promise.”
Head-to-Head Comparison: All Psoriasis Treatments Ranked
Let’s evaluate every major treatment using 5 critical metrics:
- Effectiveness (PASI reduction)
- Safety (side effects)
- Sustainability (relapse rate)
- Cost (3-month estimate)
- Root-Cause Correction
1. Dr. Chaithanya’s 5-Pillar Ayurvedic Protocol (Winner: Best Overall)
How It Works
A holistic system combining Panchakarma, Rasayana herbs, topicals, diet, and lifestyle.
Key Components
- Virechana: Detoxifies liver and blood
- Vetpalai Thailam: Heals plaques in 3–7 days
- Guduchyadi Kashayam: Balances immunity
- Pitta-pacifying diet: Removes triggers
- Shirodhara: Eliminates stress flares
Results (12,000+ patients)
- PASI 75 in 3 months: 85%
- Relapse rate: <10% after 1 year
- Side effects: None
- Cost: ₹15,000–45,000 for 3–6 months
Why It’s the Best
- Root-cause cure → No dependency
- Safe for all ages → Including children, pregnant women
- Prevents comorbidities → Heart disease, arthritis
- Sustainable → Patients live flare-free for 5–10+ years
2. Biologics (IL-17/IL-23 Inhibitors) (Best for Severe Cases – Short Term)
How It Works
Injectable drugs (Secukinumab, Guselkumab) block inflammatory cytokines.
Results
- PASI 90 in 3 months: 70–80%
- Relapse: 100% within 3 months of stopping
- Side effects: Infections, TB risk, injection reactions
- Cost: ₹1–2 lakhs per month
Verdict
Powerful but unsustainable. Best as a bridge before transitioning to Ayurveda.
3. Phototherapy (NB-UVB) (Best for Widespread Plaques)
How It Works
Controlled UV light slows skin cell growth.
Results
- PASI 75: 60–70% in 2–3 months
- Relapse: 70% within 6 months
- Side effects: Burns, premature aging, skin cancer risk
- Cost: ₹30,000–50,000 for 3 months
Verdict
Effective but inconvenient (3 sessions/week). Not a cure.
4. Topical Steroids (Best for Mild, Localized Plaques)
How It Works
Creams (Clobetasol, Mometasone) reduce inflammation.
Results
- Improvement: 50–70% in 2–4 weeks
- Relapse: 80% within 1 month of stopping
- Side effects: Skin thinning, striae, adrenal suppression
- Cost: ₹2,000–5,000 for 3 months
Verdict
Fast relief, high risk. Never use long-term.
5. Methotrexate / Cyclosporine (Best for Psoriatic Arthritis)
How It Works
Oral immunosuppressants.
Results
- PASI 75: 50–60%
- Relapse: 90% on discontinuation
- Side effects: Liver damage, kidney failure, hair loss
- Cost: ₹10,000–20,000 for 3 months
Verdict
Toxic. Use only under strict supervision.
6. Home Remedies (Coconut Oil, Aloe, Turmeric) (Best as Support)
Results
- Mild relief: 20–30%
- No root-cause correction
- Cost: <₹1,000
Verdict
Supportive, not curative. Combine with Ayurveda.
