Abstract: Psoriasis is one of the most common and gene-related human skin diseases. Traditional Chinese medical therapy has curative effect with fewer side effects, so the investigation of the rules of TCM differentiation and pharmacological treatment in psoriasis would provide us a new approach to improve its clinical practice. By document analysis, we proposed a hypothesis that the pathogenesis of psoriasis-'toxin accumulation in blood' means the disease happened in blood and its characteristic was 'toxin coming from excessive heat’. In addition, we elucidated the meaning of 'toxin accumulation in blood’ in the view of modern medicine, which might develop the TCM theory of 'treating psoriasis by modulating blood’.

Key words: psoriasis, traditional Chinese medicine, pathogenesis
