For those suffering from psoriasis – an auto-immune skin condition – red, scaly patches will generally develop on the elbows, knees and scalp. This is caused by the immune system triggering the overproduction of skin cells. Fortunately, there are certain natural remedies that can ease the symptoms of psoriasis. Here are a few worth trying:
Natural Remedies for Psoriasis
1. Turmeric
Curcumin is the active ingredient in the herb, turmeric, which research has shown has the ability to alter gene expression. Turmeric has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that result in minimising psoriasis flares. It can either be placed on the psoriatic areas or ingested in food.
2. Aloe Vera
According to a recent study of more than 2 000 people, aloe vera proved helpful to people suffering from psoriasis by reducing redness and scaling. The gel from the aloe vera plant can be administered directly to the skin, however it is not encouraged for psoriasis sufferers to ingest aloe vera capules.
3. Eugenie Rowson’s Vibrational Medicine
A safe and natural remedy for psoriasis is the Skin Disorders, Eczema and Psoriasis Formula.

9. Sunlight
The UVB rays of sunlight have been known to improve the appearance of psoriasis, however only in small doses. Healthy skin must be covered with sun screen and the psoriasis exposed about 5 to 10 minutes daily. The UVA rays can damage the skin further which is why indoor tanning beds are not recommended.
