🌿 Candida Overgrowth and Psoriasis: Uncovering the Hidden Connection
Table of Contents
Psoriasis is often seen as just a skin issue — but its roots go much deeper. One hidden trigger that is often overlooked? Candida overgrowth in the body.
Let’s explore how a yeast imbalance inside your gut can worsen or even ignite autoimmune conditions like psoriasis — and how true healing must happen from the inside out.
Candida Overgrowth and Psoriasis
🦠 What Is Candida Overgrowth?
Candida is a type of yeast naturally found in the gut, skin, and mucous membranes. In a healthy body, it’s balanced by beneficial bacteria. But when this balance is disturbed (due to antibiotics, poor diet, stress, etc.), Candida can overgrow.
Signs of Candida Overgrowth:
Chronic bloating, gas, or digestive upset
Brain fog and fatigue
Recurring yeast infections
Skin rashes and fungal infections
Strong sugar or carbohydrate cravings
⚠️ Candida overgrowth sets the stage for immune dysfunction — a major factor in psoriasis flare-ups.
🔥 Candida’s Role in Psoriasis Flare-Ups
Candida overgrowth impacts psoriasis in several ways:
Triggers Immune Overactivity: Candida can confuse the immune system, leading it to attack the body’s own tissues — like skin.
Causes Systemic Inflammation: Toxins released by Candida (like acetaldehyde) inflame gut walls and enter the bloodstream.
Damages Gut Integrity (“Leaky Gut”): A damaged intestinal lining allows toxins and undigested food particles to escape — worsening autoimmune reactions.
🧠 “Heal the gut, and you begin to heal the skin.”
🧬 The Ayurvedic Perspective: Ama and Gut Fire
In Ayurveda, Candida overgrowth is closely related to:
🔥 Low Agni (weakened digestive fire)
🧹 High Ama (toxic accumulation)
🌸 Disturbed Ojas (compromised immunity)
🌊 Kapha and Pitta Imbalance
When Agni is weak, toxins (Ama) build up — not just in the gut, but throughout the body, showing up as skin disease.
Thus, true healing focuses on digestive purification, gut healing, and immune balance.
