Best treatments for psoriasis?
Home treatments. Natural remedies only..
1. Keep skin well moisturized. Plain petroleum jelly is a very effective moisturizer. Moisturize after bathing within 3 minutes.
Add a couple of capfuls of vegetable oil to your bath
2. Soak up the sun - exposure to sunlight is extremely helpful for treating psoriasis.
3. It's best to not drink alcohol at all if you have psoriasis
4. Cover the cracks with cow cream
5. Take care of mind and body. Stress is a known trigger of psoriasis, so managing your mental state--through exercise or relaxation techniques.
6. Guard against infection and injury
7. Watch what you eat. It appears a diet high in oily fish--such as tuna, mackerel, sardines and salmon--helps reduce the itching and inflammation of psoriasis
8. Avoid certain foods. Reduce or eliminate tomatoes and tomato-based dishes--possibly because of high acidity levels. Also, avoid or limit the intake of pork products and other fatty meats as well as caffeine.
(9. If you have plaques on your face, neck, legs or other areas that require shaving, use an electric razor instead of a blade)
Top Three Natural Home Remedies For Psoriasis Treatment
Although there is no known cure for psoriasis there are many ways to soothe the itching and reduce the severity of the condition and make it more manageable. Here are some some of our top recommended remedies.
Emollients are at the top of the list and work by helping your skin retain water and moisture. A flareup of psoriasis makes your skin dry and this increases flaking and itching, so applying your favorite non irritating body oil or even something as mundane as olive oil or petroleum jelly is extremely effective. It is best to use straight after a bath when your skin is still wet. We highly recommend trying natural alternatives like herbal creams with calendula and beeswax to seal in the moisturizer or an aloe vera based cream are also very helpful.
What ever you do, do not scratch. The more you scratch the more you will itch and the more painful it will become. You do not want to scratch so much that the plaques bleed and become infected. Sit on your hands. Wear gloves at night if you find you are scratching in your sleep. Keep your nails short, whatever it takes, just no scratching please.
Get a little bit of sunshine every day. Getting regular doses of strong sunlight finds 95 percent of psoriasis sufferers having noticeable improvements in their condition. Ultraviolet waves seemed to fight psoriasis and UVB rays appear to work the fastest. But bear in mind UVB rays are the ones that give you sunburn and also can increase your risk of skin cancer. To combat this and protect your skin, put sunscreen on the areas that are not affected by the psoriasis, while leaving the affected areas exposed to the full force of the sun. And be careful not to sit for five hours at midday in the baking heat! Twenty minutes here and there is plenty. Happy sunbathing!
