Psoriasis is an inflammatory skin condition that can affect any part of the body. A complex disease requiring professional attention, psoriasis can be difficult to treat. Nevertheless, herbal medicines can be of great benefit in controlling psoriasis, offering relief for a range of different symptoms as well as addressing the underlying issues. As herbalists we use a cooling detox regime to help overcome psoriasis alongside measures to control the impact of stress.
Sun and salt water help most psoriasis sufferers. If you can’t get to the sea you can bathe in a strong Dead Sea Salt solution at home. Particular foods to avoid include caffeine as found in coffee, tea, chocolate and many soft drinks. Other potential aggravators are pork, shellfish, offal, junk food, sugar, alcohol and dairy products. Dietary emphasis should be on fresh fruit and vegetables; white grapes in particular help to cleanse the system. Cold-pressed oils should be included generously in the diet alongside one of the essential fatty acid supplements mentioned above.Vitamins B, C & E as well as supplementary Zinc can all prove useful.
