Psoriasis Herbal Remedies, Psoriasis And Diet

January 26, 2009

Psoriasis Herbal Remedies are increasingly popular and mainstream. Many people dealing with chronic diseases such as psoriasis turn to these alternatives when Western medicine stops working.

Caution is advised in taking New Treatments for Psoriasis. Some treatments can have potentially dangerous interactions with medications.

It is advised that any new topical treatment be patch tested and that oral medicines should be taken with all due caution. Start slowly if unfamiliar with a product and increase as is comfortable for the individual.

St. John’s wort and other dietary supplements can also cause increased sensitivity to light, which could be dangerous for people who sunbathe or undergo ultraviolet light treatment for their psoriasis.

It is important to carefully examine any New Treatments for Psoriasis that you choose to use, Psoriasis Herbal Remedy or even Essential Oils, as some cannot be used during pregnancy or when you have a pre-existing medical condition. If you are unsure of the potential side effects or possible interactions with medications, consult a health-care professional before starting to take any New Treatments for Psoriasis.

Psoriasis Herbal Remedies

Evening Primrose Oil –
Anecdotal reports suggest that a diet supplemented with Evening Primrose Oil might prove helpful in psoriasis. Evening Primrose Oil can also be used on the skin as a topical product.

Aloe Vera –
The gel from the Aloe Vera plant has long been known for its skin-soothing properties and for helping the skin heal from minor wounds and burns. If you want to try aloe, you can buy the plant itself, split open one of its leaves, and smear the gel onto the plaques. For larger areas of plaque or a more portable balm, you can instead purchase a bottle of pure Aloe Vera gel at many pharmacies and health-food stores. Research in the 1990s appears to have extended the plant’s repertoire of possible benefits to include clearing psoriasis plaques.

Milk Thistle –
Milk Thistle has been shown to inhibit human T-cell activation, which occurs in psoriasis; however, no specific studies have been done with psoriasis patients. Milk Thistle products can be purchased at health food stores in tablet or fluidextract form. Few adverse effects have been seen when patients take milk thistle supplements, except for brief gastrointestinal disturbances and mild allergic reactions.

Oregano Oil –
Oregano is a commonly used spice for baking and cooking. It possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties, which may be helpful with some infections associated with psoriasis. Oregano Oil can be purchased at most health food stores.

Turmeric –
Turmeric is a primary component of curry powders used in cooking. The spice has a long history of being used in traditional Chinese medicine. Turmeric can be found in capsules to be used as a dietary supplement; however, many people use the powdered form of the spice and mix it in with their food. Turmeric has also been reported to help relieve the swelling, pain and inflammation associated with arthritis.
