Psorolin Ointment is a herbal cream from the classical Ayurvedic and Siddha traditions, built around Wrightia tinctoria (Indrajava) and Cynodon dactylon (Doorva). It is traditionally used to soothe dry, rough, flaky and scaly skin, to calm the sensation of itching, and to provide deep, lasting moisturisation.
Wrightia tinctoria, known in Sanskrit as Sweta Kutaja, is a foremost herb of the classical skin-care tradition.
Ayurvedic Significance
In Ayurveda the skin (Twak) is nourished by Bhrajaka Pitta, and dry, scaly, flaking skin is often linked to aggravated Vata and Pitta in the outer tissues. Cooling, soothing herbs such as Wrightia and Doorva are traditionally used to comfort and moisturise this kind of skin.

Psorolin Ointment by Dr. JRK's Siddha is a herbal ointment used to help manage the discomfort of psoriasis and similar dry, scaly skin conditions. It is traditionally applied to reduce the scaling, itching and inflammation of psoriasis and to provide intense moisturisation to dry, flaky patches. Built on the classic skin herbs Wrightia tinctoria and Cynodon dactylon (Durva grass), it works to soothe and calm troubled skin. It is an external ointment, applied to the affected areas, and is best used as part of a skincare routine guided by your doctor.
+What are the ingredients in Psorolin Ointment?
Psorolin is a focused herbal ointment built on two classic skin-soothing botanicals in an ointment base. Each 5g contains extracts of:
Wrightia tinctoria : 3.33%, a herb long valued in Siddha and Ayurveda for scaly, psoriatic skin
Cynodon dactylon (Durva grass) : 3.33%, cooling and soothing for irritated skin
Ointment base, which moisturises and carries the herbs
This simple, targeted blend is designed to calm scaling and itching while deeply moisturising the skin, the work of the Siddha tradition of herbal medicine.
+Is Psorolin good for psoriasis?
Yes, helping to manage psoriasis is exactly what Psorolin is made for, and it is indicated for all types of psoriasis. It is traditionally used to reduce the scaling and inflammation, calm the itching, and provide the intense moisturisation that dry, psoriatic skin needs, and it is described as helping to inactivate an enzyme (elastase) that can worsen the condition. Psoriasis is a long-term condition, so Psorolin works best as steady, supportive care applied consistently. Importantly, it should be used alongside, not instead of, the guidance of your doctor or dermatologist.
+How do I use Psorolin Ointment?
Psorolin is for external use, and consistency is key with a condition like psoriasis. The directions are simple:
Gently clean and dry the affected skin.
Apply Psorolin ointment over the affected areas.
Use it three times a day, or as directed.
Because psoriasis tends to come and go, regular long-term use is usually advised. Keep it away from the eyes, and patch test first if your skin is very sensitive. For the best results, use it as part of a complete plan with your dermatologist.
+What is the Siddha tradition behind Psorolin?
Psorolin comes from the Siddha system, one of India's classical systems of medicine, a sister tradition to Ayurveda, especially rooted in South India and Tamil heritage. Like Ayurveda, Siddha takes a holistic, herbal, balancing approach to health and skin. Wrightia tinctoria, the lead herb in Psorolin, has a long Siddha reputation for soothing scaly, psoriatic skin. Dr. JRK's Siddha is well known for its herbal skin formulations made at GMP-certified facilities. So while you will often see it alongside Ayurvedic products, Psorolin draws specifically on this rich Siddha herbal tradition.
+Which dosha imbalance relates to psoriasis in Ayurveda?
In Ayurveda, dry, scaly, flaky skin conditions like psoriasis are usually linked to a combination of aggravated Vata and Kapha, often with some Pitta heat behind the redness and inflammation. Vata governs the dryness, roughness and scaling, Kapha the thickening and stubbornness of the plaques, and Pitta the heat and irritation. A soothing, cooling, moisturising herbal ointment like Psorolin speaks to this picture by calming the heat and itching while deeply moisturising the dry, scaly skin. A holistic plan addressing diet and stress alongside topical care is the classic approach.
+Is Psorolin Ointment safe to use long term?
Psorolin is a herbal ointment made at a GMP-certified facility and is generally well tolerated for the regular, long-term use that a chronic condition like psoriasis usually calls for. Sensible care still applies: it is for external use only, keep it away from the eyes, patch test first if your skin is sensitive, and stop if irritation occurs. Because psoriasis can be complex and varies from person to person, it is best used under the guidance of a doctor or dermatologist, who can monitor your skin and advise how it fits into your overall treatment.
+How long does a 75g tube of Psorolin last?
Applied three times a day to the affected areas, a 75g tube of Psorolin lasts a variable time depending on how much skin you are treating: for small, localised patches it can last several weeks, while widespread coverage will use it faster, so you may need more than one tube over a course. Since psoriasis care is ongoing, many people keep a spare on hand. Store the tube tightly capped in a cool, dry place away from direct heat and sunlight, and apply with clean hands so it stays hygienic.
