Natural Remedies for Psoriasis
Due to the many emails I have received from
people suffering with psoriasis, I decided to add this topic to our website. If the
information below helps any of you suffering with this condition, please email us and let us know so we can post it here for others to see.
Our family has been lucky enough not to
have had to deal with psoriasis, so we have not been able to personally experiment with
this condition. However, we do know of one man who says he was able to get rid of his
psoriasis by using flaxseed oil. He said he took two
tablespoons fresh refrigerated flaxseed oil daily. He also
applied this directly to the affected areas. After about a month, his psoriasis was almost
completely gone. This is not surprising since flaxseed oil has
anti-inflammatory properties.
People with psoriasis should eat lots of
cold water fish (one or two servings daily). All fish is good, but mackerel, salmon,
sardines, and herring are higher in omega 3 oils, which is what you need to fight off
psoriasis. Avoid fish oil capsules since they degrade into toxins that can aggravate
psoriasis.
Another good way to treat psoriasis is
applying aloe gel, andiroba oil, or copaiba oil to the areas. This will relieve
inflammation. Milk thistle, (120 mg 3 times a day) is a good herb
to take for psoriasis and can reduced the frequency of outbreaks. Milk
thistle can cause some diariah in some people. People who have psoriasis should also
eat lots of fiber, and less beef and eggs. Beef and eggs tend to aggravate psoriasis since
these foods can cause inflammation. It is also recommended that people with psoriasis take
a complete vitamin b supplement. Please let us know if this
information has helped you, or you can post your findings in our forum.
