Brief Summary  
Psoriasis is a disease of T cells with interplay of genetic factors and environmental influences such as infections and drugs. Gut dysbiosis is associated with altered immune response promoting thedevelopment of skin diseases like psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, acne vulgaris, dandruff and skincancer.These days probiotics and prebiotics are used as novel therapeutic approaches for psoriasis. Spices displayed prebiotic like activity by promoting the beneficial bacteria and suppressing growth of pathogenic bacteria suggesting their potential role in regulation of intestinal microbiota and enhancement of gastrointestinal health. Qing et al states that spices extracts enhanced the growth of Bifidobacterium spp and Lactobacillus spp. All spices exhibited inhibitory activity against selected Ruminococcus spp. Siddha medicines possess spices as their most essential components. Panchadeepakini chooranam is made of five spices namely Zingiber officinale, Piper nigrum, Piper longum, Elletaria cardomom, Cuminum cyminum. According to
researches, the spices present in panchadeepakini chooranam increases the abundance of gut microbe Bifidobacterium, reduces inflammation of intestinal epithelium due to gut microbial dysbiosis. Since development of Psoriasis is associated with gut dysbiosis,it is considered to evaluate the efficacy of Panchadeepakini chooranam in Psoriasis patients attending special OPDas an add on treatment in accelerating the achievement of PASI 50 or PASI 75.
 A supportive invitro study was asked to completed before starting the clinical trial. I have completed the preclinical invitro study and now registering for ctri number to proceed with clinical study
