Psoriasis is a chronic autoimmune skin disorder with a relapsing-remitting course that greatly impacts quality of life. Conventional treatments often provide only temporary relief, with frequent recurrences. This case report presents a 40-year-old male with a 1.5-year history of psoriasis, characterized by dry, scaly patches on the extremities, abdomen, and back, accompanied by intense nocturnal itching and sleeplessness. His past medical history included diabetes mellitus and cholecystectomy. Miasmatic assessment indicated psoric predominance, while repertorial analysis suggested Staphysagria as the indicated remedy. A single dose of Staphysagria 200C, followed by placebo, was prescribed. On follow-up, the patient exhibited significant improvement in itching, skin dryness, and sleep quality. This case highlights the role of individualized homeopathic prescribing in the holistic management of chronic psoriasis, addressing both constitutional tendencies and symptomatic relief.
