Being a fairly common disease, psoriasis affects the life cycle of skin cells, causing their growth to be too fast. This is a chronic but not contagious disease. It is characterized by the appearance of inflamed skin areas covered with silver-white scabs of dead skin. Psoriasis is extremely debilitating to the skin. Most often manifested on the elbows, knees, scalp, lower back, face, although it can affect other parts of the body.
Sometimes people suffer from psoriasis all their lives. The causes of this disease are not fully understood. There is a chance of transmission of psoriasis at the gene level. But the reasons for the increase in symptoms of psoriasis are already clearly defined: stress, alcohol, smoking, unhealthy diet. Getting rid of bad habits, limiting them will greatly help in the fight against this unpleasant disease. The treatment of psoriasis at home is the key to an indispensable victory over the disease.
“Look at the root,” Kuzma Prutkov used to say. The motto is relevant today. Psoriasis is a personal problem that arises at the level of one's own immune system. Due to the personal nature of the problem, its solution cannot be delegated to anyone, it will have to be solved independently.
Of course, no one disputes the importance of following the treatment prescribed by a qualified doctor, but the main thing in the fight against the disease is the person’s desire to recover. Trite, but true.
Treatment of psoriasis at home should begin with the elimination of addictions - smoking and wine drinking - and adherence to a strict diet that excludes the consumption of gluten and sugar. Gluten is flour, cereals from wheat, rye, barley, oats. Have to give up beer and liquors, most sauces and, of course, bread. It’s not worth talking about sugar, that’s understandable. These products will be replaced by buckwheat (amino acids, iron, vitamins E and B), millet and sorghum, rice flour, potato, soy, gluten-free. This will make home treatment for psoriasis less painful and more effective.
The initial stage of psoriasis is usually not very painful for the patient. Tea tree oil helps well at this stage. Now it is affordable and affordable. The effect of its regular use, along with the treatment prescribed by a dermatologist, will manifest itself very quickly.
There is a shrub called mahonia (Mahonia aquifolium), also called “grape root”, which is rapidly spreading among gardeners in Russia and Ukraine due to its decorative and fragrant flowers. This is an evergreen plant of the barberry family. Its leaves - decoction, extract - perfectly relieve itching and reduce peeling.
Treatment of psoriasis at home involves the use of herbal infusions and all kinds of decoctions, used after consulting with a doctor externally and internally.
Traditional plants are the root and seed of burdock, curly sorrel (Rumex Crispus), which must be used very carefully, red clover, nettle and milk thistle (popular names are thistle, netreb, tatarnik) and Aloe Vera, which in the initial stages of psoriasis has the best effect, than steroid ointments and creams. Nothing exotic and elusive. Home treatment of psoriasis, in which you can use lotions, ointments and infusions in conditions comfortable for a sick person, will affect in the most favorable way.
Treatment of psoriasis at home primarily involves changing the diet: you need to increase fish consumption, use turmeric (tasty and healthy) and take vitamin D3 preparations (best fish oil), experimentally identify and exclude foods that cause an exacerbation of the disease.
A simple tip: you need to keep the affected areas open, do not wear tight clothing and jewelry in the affected areas. You can not be in the open sun and in the heat for a long time. Wind and cold also exacerbate the symptoms of psoriasis.
I would like to emphasize that psoriasis can and should be cured to the end. This is evidenced by numerous facts. A universal cure for psoriasis does not yet exist, but the use of natural remedies, coupled with a diet and giving up bad habits, will significantly help to achieve good results.
Treating psoriasis at home in conjunction with the methods of official medicine can not only alleviate suffering, but also make the disease go away forever. An early diagnosis - the initial stage of psoriasis - will increase the effectiveness of the treatment and bring the final victory closer.
