Complete Curre of Psoriasis with Homeopathy

PSORIASIS

A full medical history is obtained and, if there is doubt about the diagnosis, skin scrapings are taken. In treating psoriasis, great emphasis is placed on an individual’s psychological makeup, particularly factors that might have triggered the condition, such as stress or emotional upset. Environmental factors and food preferences are also significant.

The most important criteria in determining constitutional prescription are the person’s individual symptoms (see page 18). Some remedies in particular are associated with the treatment of psoriasis, however. Arsen. alb. is indicated for dry, rough, and scaly skin; and Lycopodium is effective for dry skin and raw areas in the flexures. Sepia is prescribed for the thick crusts that form on the elbows; while Staphysagria is used to treat skin conditions that are affected by irritability of the nervous system.

Specific remedies for local problems include Sulphur, for dry, red, scaly, itchy patches that are worse after a bath; Graphites, if the skin behind the ears is affected; Petroleum, when the skin is extremely dry, and psoriasis is worse in winter, with deep, bloody cracks, especially on the hands, fingertips, genitals, and elbows; and Phytolacca, when there are lesions with a purple coloration.
