Psoriasis is a distressing skin illness that's characterized by flaky, itchy and red skin patches. Although you can apply steroid ointments and other forms of medicines to cure skin psoriasis, you can also decide to cure it naturally using essential oils, and also avoid the side effects from the chemically-laden medications. Check out this article to know more about managing skin psoriasis with oils.
Kinds of psoriasis
There are numerous different kinds of skin psoriasis, and they include guttate psoriasis, plaque psoriasis, inverse psoriasis, pustular psoriasis, as well as erythrodermic psoriasis. Most of these types react well to essential oil treatment, except for erythrodermic psoriasis, which calls for more intense treatment because of its potential to become much more severe. You should know that psoriasis is not a contagious skin illness. Individuals who are exposed to someone infected with skin psoriasis, including members of the family and loved ones, are not prone to acquiring the skin issue. However, because it is a hereditary condition, it is still highly possible that other members in the family will also undergo the same condition.
Essential oils for treatment
* Evening primrose oil
Many individuals have reported that this oil has cured their skin psoriasis efficiently; therefore, this oil is known as one of the best natural treatments for this annoying skin condition. Evening primrose oil is powerful in alleviating psoriasis due to its gamma linolenic acid content. Get a bottle of this oil or break open a few capsules and apply the oil directly onto the skin where psoriasis patches are placed. You may also blend a few tablespoons of this kind of oil into your bath.
* Vitamin E essential oil
Though there are specialists who don't agree that vitamin e can provide great help for skin psoriasis, individuals who have used this natural oil for their skin disorder would say otherwise. This particular oil has proven to its users that it can really relieve the itchiness and inflammation from the said skin condition. It can also lessen the formation of scabs. And, because no side effect is associated with applying this vitamin on the skin, many people use this oil to treat skin psoriasis.
* Tea tree oil
Tea tree essential oil is also another effective, organic remedy for skin psoriasis. This kind of oil can be applied directly on the skin with skin psoriasis patches. Nonetheless, because this oil is very strong, extreme caution should be practiced when applying it, particularly on hair scalp psoriasis. If you prefer, you may water down this oil with another form of oil, including essential olive oil, Argan oil psoriasis, or any other type of carrier oil before rubbing it on your skin. Luckily, there are hair products that contain tea tree oil. Find shampoos and also conditioners which have this kind of oil and utilize them instead of your typical hair care products.
Oil issues to consider
There aren't many problems concerning using essential oils to cure psoriasis. Nevertheless, they can be quite costly. Other than that, the only issue that most people have in utilizing oils on the skin is that it can be annoying since oils are messy and they can also stain clothing. To lessen this inconvenience, just utilize the oil right before bedtime, and immediately wash them off in the morning upon waking up.
These oils can be found and purchased in most health stores, grocery stores, and from the Internet.

Homeopathy and the Life Force
By Michelle J White
Homeopathy is a form of energy medicine, working with bio information and bio-energy, this is similar to the way in which Acupuncture works, moving energy to or from areas of deficiency or excess. Homeopathy uses remedies and potency to achieve this, whereas an Acupuncturist uses needles to remove blocks and open channels.
Homeopathy stimulates the body and mind to heal itself on all levels. This is achieved by prescribing unique remedies for the individual. Homeopathy has been used in this way to great effect for the past 200 years.
Homeopathic medicines have been used for the same conditions over and over again. These remedies do not go out of fashion and do not disappear from shelves for no longer being effective.
The homeopathic remedies are natural substances and not synthetic like some mainstream medicines.
Homeopathy is virtually non-toxic, has no side effects. There is no risk of overdosing, poisoning or addiction. There is no drug residue or build up of tolerance to the remedy.
Homeopathy gently assists the body's natural processes, and does not interfere with the subtle balance of the body's natural functions.
Homeopathy works with the body systems without suppressing and causing deeper pathological problems in the future.
Homeopathy uses a remedy that fits the individual exactly, rather than using a medicine for a particular illness.
Homeopathy can be used to address both chronic and acute issues, physical and psychological issues alike.
Acute Conditions
These are classed as short duration and relatively superficial, although some can be life threatening. For example if you fall and bump or bruise your head Arnica would be indicated.
Homeopathic medicines are extremely effective for injury, inflammation, fevers, colds, bleeding. The remedies don't just reduce symptoms they promote tissue repair and can prevent long term problems.
Chronic Conditions
These are classed as long lasting with a tendency to get progressively worse.
Homeopathy can slow the progress and in some cases actually stop all symptoms of many chronic diseases. This can take considerable time though, depending how long the individual has been suffering from the disease.
The homeopathic remedies try to promote homeostasis (balance) of the body's natural functions, homeopathy can help with infections, allergies, psoriasis, arthritis and hormonal dysfunction. Homeopathy is not just effective with physical symptoms but can be extremely helpful dealing with emotional issues such as depression, grief, self esteem and anxiety to name but a few.
Homeopathy seeks to resolve your symptoms, not suppress them, by helping remove the cause of illness, while promoting and strengthening the adaptive and healing capacities of the patient.

Homeopathy Treatment for an Autoimmune Skin Disorder - Psoriasis
By P Renuka
The persistent skin problem "Psoriasis" makes patients to suffer with red and scaly formations over the skin. Joints are also affected and patients will feel discomfort while moving their limbs. It is not contagious like other skin problems. Psoriasis outbreaks the skin in patches after it is inflamed with excess cell production, medically these patches are called psoriatic plaques. These patches appear white and are accumulated with excess skin productive. They are observed mostly in the joints - knees and elbows. There are a few reports as per which, patients do suffer with these patches on their scalp.
In simple words, it is a chronic condition and its severity varies with patient to patient. Skin specialist doctors worldwide say that they have seen patients with minimal patches and patients with maximum patches all over the body. In a few cases, aching in the joints is also reported, mostly in severe cases. Talking about the exact cause for this condition cannot be specified. It is in the individual's genes which makes him/her to suffer psoriasis. Till now, there wasn't any exact reason reported, doctors say it is genetic. It is an autoimmune skin disorder.
How it causes and what actually happens?
The important factor for this disease is genes. If an individual's immune system can block the viral infection, then there is no scope for the cause of the disorder. Here is vital information about "how the immune system is affected and psoriasis is caused". With medical terms, doctors or experts explain it as T lymphocyte damage, one of the three types of white blood cells. Generally, the growth of the skin cells will be gradual. New cells will take the place of old as they shed, this doesn't happen often, for every 4 weeks old cells flake away. When talking about the non contagious skin problem psoriasis, it alters the process of new cells replacing the old. The time period will be reduced to days instead of weeks.
Different age grouped patients suffer with this problem. The major percentage of patients belong to adult age group, whereas adolescence and teenage take minor percentage. The plaques, the thick patches, can be seen on the body parts like elbows, knees, scalp and back. It becomes embarrassing situation for a patient to show their body when they have to. For instance, teens with psoriasis will avoid activities like swimming as they have to show off the patches formed because of the non contagious health problem. In the similar way, patients face several embarrassing situations in their daily routine.
What are the symptoms and treatments available?
With different symptoms, the cause of psoriasis can be identified. In mild cases, small portions of skin are covered with a rash and in severe cases; the patient suffers with scaling, itching and tendering on a large portion of the body. We do have a few mild cases to know about. In mild cases, people reported large patches over the body causing discomfort. There are such severe cases, the joints of the body ache as they are swollen. Old skin piles up under the fingernail and toenails. The color of fingernails and toenails change can be observed along with the visibility in the separation from the bed.
People with this health problem may see the symptoms invisible sometimes even without treatment and that means they are still uncured, again symptoms appear after a few days. Doctors will name their problem as Psoriasis with a mere look at the body, which is covered with patches. No other tests like a blood test or urine test isn't required. By prescribing a few medicines and by guiding a few care tips, mild cases are easily treated. Mostly, the problem will be solved with medicines and care tips. The same is not with severe cases; it becomes impossible to treat them.
Different combinations of medicines or treatment may not work, because of the severity. There are ample cases, where people got cured of psoriasis with homeopathy. In these days, homeopathy sounds pretty perfect treatment for this non contagious health problem. However, the combination of treatment and care will only work. Overexposure to sunlight should be avoided, moisturizing the skin, giving up of smoking & alcohol, controlling stress & anxiety and of course a balanced diet, all these are included in the list of care tips doctors recommend.
Are there any types?
Yes! There are a few types of psoriasis and they are: Plaque, Flexural, Guttate, Pustular, Nail and Erythrodermic.
However, most treatments cannot cure the condition permanently, as it may occur again. If it is a homeopathic treatment, then permanent cure can be expected. The right treatment with improper care cannot improvise the condition, there should be proper care taken as well. Avoiding exposure to extreme heat or sunlight is always recommended. Sun burns may increase the severity and pain. Using powders will cause dryness; the condition becomes worse when the skin dry and this leads to itching. Moisturizing the skin is vital for itching. A balanced diet with all vitamins and minerals should be taken. Perfumes should be completely avoided. Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol. Taking oatmeal baths can minimize the irritation. There shouldn't be a usage of beauty products; the chemicals in beauty products are not favorable to the skin affected psoriasis. Bathing soaps with moisturizing agents must be preferred. Doctor prescribed medication will work effectively when all these tips are followed.
