Try the Natural Cures for Psoriasis.
Psoriasis is one of the most stubborn skin diseases. It is a chronic
disease characterized by thick, red, silvery, scaled patches of
skin. This disease affects both sexes equally and usually first
appears at the age ranging from 15-30 years, although it may appear
at any age. It is, however, rare in infancy and old age. Psoriasis
is not contagious.
Causes: Psoriasis involves an abnormality in the mechanism in which
the skin grows and replaces itself. This abnormality is related to
the metabolism of amino acids, the protein chemicals which are
nature�s basic building blocks for the reproduction of cell tissues.
Heredity also plays a role in the development of psoriasis, as it
tends to occur in families. About 30% of the patients have a family
history of the disease. The factors that aggravate and precipitate
the outbreak of psoriasis are injury to the skin in the form of
cuts, burns, minor abrasions, changes in the seasons, physical, and
emotional stress, infections and use of certain medicines for the
treatment of other diseases.
Treatment: Since psoriasis is a metabolic disease, a cleansing juice
fast for about seven days is always desirable in the beginning of
the treatment. Carrots, beats, cucumbers and grapes may be used for
juices. Juices of citrus fruits should be avoided. The warm water
enema should be used daily to cleanse the bowels during the fast.
After the juice fast, the patient should adopt the diet of three
basic food groups, namely (i) seeds, nuts and grains, (ii)
vegetables and (iii) fruits, with emphasis on raw seeds and nuts,
especially seasame seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and plenty
of organically grown raw vegetables and fruits.
All animal fats, including milk, butter and eggs should be avoided.
Refined or processed foods and foods containing hydrogenated fats or
white sugar, all condiments, tea and coffee, should also be avoided.
After noticeable improvement, goat�s milk, yogurt and home made
cottage cheese may be added to the diet. Juice fasts may be repeated
after four weeks on diet. Vitamin E therapy has been found effective
in the treatment of psoriasis. The patient should use this vitamin
in therapeutic doses from 200 to 800 I.U. a day. It will help reduce
itching and scabs. Lecithin is considered a remarkable remedy for
psoriasis. The patient may take six to nine lecithin capsules a day
- two or three capsules before or after each meal. In the form of
granules, it may be taken four tablespoonfuls daily for two months.
It may thereafter be reduced to two tablespoonfuls.
Too frequent baths should be avoided. Soap should not be used.
Regular seawater baths and application of seawater externally over
the affected parts once a day are beneficial. The hot Epsom salts
bath has proved valuable in psoriasis. Three full baths should be
taken weekly until the trouble begins to subside. The number of
baths thereafter may be reduced to two weekly and finally to one.
The affected areas should also be bathed twice in hot water
containing Epsom salt. After the bath a little olive oil may be
applied. The skin should be kept absolutely clean by daily dry
friction or sponge.
In many cases, psoriasis responds well to sunlight. The affected
parts should be frequently exposed to the sun. The daily use of a
sunlamp or ultra-violet light are also beneficial. Cabbage leaves
have been successfully used in the form of compresses in the
treatment of psoriasis. The thickest and greenest outer leaves are
most effective for use as compresses. They should be thoroughly
washed in warm water and dried with a towel. The leaves should be
made flat, soft and smooth by rolling them with a rolling pin after
removing the thick veins. They should be warmed and then applied
smoothly to the affected part in an overlapping manner. A pad of
soft wooden cloth should be put over it. The whole compress should
then be secured with an elastic bandage.
The use of mudpacks in the treatment of psoriasis has also been
found highly beneficial. The packs are made by mixing the clay with
a little water and applying to the affected areas. After the clay
has dried, it is removed and fresh pack applied. Mudpacks are
eliminative in their action. They absorb and remove the toxins from
the deceased areas.
The patient should undertake plenty of regular exercise in fresh
air, especially exposing the affected parts, and deep breathing
exercises. He should avoid all nervous tension and should have
adequate rest
Aloe Vera treatment for Psoriasis hemorrhoids
(tratamiento contra psoriasis)
Aloe Vera is known for its healing and soothing effect on the skin. Aloe Vera contains lignins which help it penetrate deeply into the skin to deliver its therapeutic effects. Polysaccharides make it a
natural moisturizer. Aloe Vera contains gibberlin and polysaccharides, which effectively decrease inflammation and promote wound healing. Aloe Vera is an effective pain reliever because it contains salicylic acid, the same pain
killing agent found in aspirin. It also contains magnesium which helps prevent some of the damaging side effects of aspirin-type medications.
