In search of a natural method to treat psoriasis

From seattletimes.com

Q: Has anyone come up with a natural method for treating psoriasis? I started with a little patch on my leg, and it has spread to many parts of my body. The scales itch and are ugly. They really bother me.
I was prescribed betamethasone ointment that doesn’t help that much. I hope there is some natural cure.

A: Psoriasis is a chronic condition in which the immune system attacks the skin and leads to rapid skin-cell turnover. This is what creates the red patches and silvery scales of psoriasis, and it also explains why “cures” are elusive. Most treatments must be maintained to be helpful.


Dermatologists often prescribe topical cortisonelike drugs to dampen the immune response and ease inflammation. That’s what betamethasone is. Many readers have found natural approaches that help their condition. Some report that sunlight and saltwater are beneficial. Light therapy is often used to treat psoriasis in the clinic (Dermatologic Clinics, January 2015).

Inexpensive topical glycerin has helped some patients, perhaps because it has moisturizing properties (Acta Derma-Veneraologica online, June 28, 2016). Research shows that glycerol improves skin-cell maturation, so that also may help explain its benefit (Journal of Investigative Dermatology, December 2003).
Other readers have found that ingesting the active ingredient curcumin from the yellow spice turmeric can ease the redness and itching from psoriasis.
