Psoriasis treatment at home

Treatment of psoriasis at home is an additional measure that will not only not interfere with the main drug treatment, but will contribute to a more stable remission.

History of the disease

One of the founders of medical science, Hippocrates, studied a group of diseases that affected the skin back in the fourth century BC. It was Hippocrates who came up with the idea of combining all obscure dermatological problems into one category, which included lichen, eczema, lupus, and any signs of peeling skin. Leprosy was singled out as a separate disease, since it was characterized by the ability to infect others. Later, a group of skin diseases began to be differentiated more clearly, but psoriasis was not a separate nosological unit, perhaps for this reason its etiology is still unclear and universal methods of effective treatment have not been found. People who had the misfortune of getting skin diseases were subjected to all sorts of persecution, they were avoided not only by others, but sometimes even by doctors. A little clarity in the study of psoriasis was brought in the 19th century by the Englishman Willen, who described the disease in detail, separating leprosy, mycosis, lichen and vitiligo from it. The British doctor initiated scientific developments in the treatment of this difficult disease, and his righteous work was continued by neurologists and dermatologists not only in Europe, but also in Russia. In the 20th century, psoriasis was called a systemic disease, which was provoked by hereditary factors, immunological changes, pathologies of the nervous and mental systems. Today, psoriatic symptoms have been well studied, described in detail, but the means, methods for completely healing people from psoriasis have not yet been found. Since psoriatic plaques, in addition to causing psychological discomfort and disrupting aesthetic perception, are not a symptom of a life-threatening disease, treating psoriasis at home is quite acceptable and cannot harm a person's overall health.

The main principles of treating psoriasis using non-traditional methods are the following:

• Treatment of psoriasis at home involves the use of two or three methods at once, since a systemic disease requires a comprehensive approach.
• Home remedies should be used for a long time, the course of treatment should not be less than a month. Most often, folk remedies are used for six months.
• The products must be both external and internal.
• A mandatory condition is strict adherence to a dietary regimen.
• Regular visits to the treating dermatologist and neurologist are mandatory.

Treating Psoriasis at Home with Herbal Medicine

Treatment with celandine. Celandine is a rather poisonous plant, as it contains a strong morphine-like alkaloid - chelidonine, so it should be used with great caution and the recipe should be strictly followed when preparing decoctions and tinctures. Methods of preparation:

• Infusion. 1 tablespoon of dry ground part of celandine is poured with a glass of boiling water and infused for no more than 15 minutes. The infusion should be taken for a month, 2 tablespoons half an hour before meals twice a day. In order to ensure the desired cleansing effect, celandine should be infused every day anew.
• Alcohol infusion of celandine. 50 grams of dry raw material is poured with two glasses of alcohol or high-quality vodka. The mixture is shaken and left in a cool, dark place for 2 weeks. The infusion is taken in the form of drops - five drops half an hour before meals three times a day for a month.

Treatment of psoriasis at home involves the use of herbal teas. For the composition, prepare 4 parts of celandine, 3 parts of St. John's wort, 2 parts of horsetail and 1 part of yarrow. It is convenient to measure the raw materials with one measure - a 50-gram glass. The collection is poured with two liters of purified water, brought to a boil and turned off. The decoction should be infused for 12 hours, after which it is taken half a glass 1 time in the morning half an hour before meals. The course is at least three months.

Such herbal infusions and decoctions help cleanse the body of toxins, normalize metabolic processes, regulate and normalize the digestive system.

Treatment of psoriasis at home with external means

External ointment from celandine herb. Grind dry raw material using a manual or electric coffee grinder. Mix the ground celandine herb with regular baby cream in a 1/1 ratio. Lubricate psoriatic plaques with the resulting ointment for a week in the morning and evening. Then take a week's break and repeat the treatment again. Such procedures should be carried out for three to four months. Unlike factory creams, which include celandine, homemade ointment actually contains natural raw materials and promotes the penetration of ascorbic and succinic acid contained in celandine into the deep layers of the skin.

In the same way, you can prepare an ointment from the herb of the succession. If two types of ointment are prepared, they should be alternated weekly. The succession contains manganese, which helps to activate enzymatic processes in the deep layers of the skin, and the raw material of the succession also contains polyphenols, which have bactericidal and astringent properties. The use of external agents made at home helps to stop the spread of psoriatic plaques and gradually reduces the process of skin peeling.

Treatment of psoriasis at home involves the use of mineral components in a strained manner, these include mud from the Dead Sea, mud from Lake Kuyalnik. Preparations containing these mud components are now easy to find in drugstores. In this way, you can organize a semblance of a sanatorium at home. Mud treatment is perfectly combined with treatment with ointments and decoctions, the only condition is its use once a week for two to three months. Wraps should be done using an application method - apply mud to psoriatic plaques, wrap them in cloth and hold for about an hour and a half. In addition to the above methods, it is necessary to adhere to a certain diet, including hypoallergenic foods, plenty of fluids, which promote the rapid elimination of toxins. Treatment of psoriasis is unthinkable without learning relaxation techniques and anti-stress methods, which can be mastered independently. The classic method of autogenic training by Schultz has proven itself well. This is a long-proven technology, absolutely safe and environmentally friendly for the human psyche. Treatment of psoriasis at home should be as comprehensive and long-term as possible. No one has yet managed to defeat psoriasis, but there are thousands of people who have achieved stable remission and a significant reduction in the manifestation of the disease, which means that the disease is treatable.
