Cure Psoriasis naturally - 23 Natural home remedies for Psoriasis
Psoriasis
is a disease of the skin which is non-infectious and inflammatory. The
characteristics of the disease are distinct reddish or erythematous plaques
with large and adherent silvery scales. The cause of psoriasis is the
abnormally increased proliferation in the layers of the skin due to excessive
cell division in the basal layers of the skin. The plaques may cause severe
itching. Psoriasis is characterized by silver scales and skin dryness.
Unfortunately,
there is no cure for psoriasis and it is a difficult and frustrating condition
to treat. However, there are some natural remedies that can be tried at home
and have proven to be effective in controlling the symptoms of psoriasis as
well as preventing infection.
1. Turmeric
In
a glass of hot milk, add a teaspoon of turmeric powder and some honey for sweet
taste. Drink this mixture every day for a few weeks. Turmeric powder can also
be added to food when cooking. Consumption of turmeric powder helps maintain
good health.
Add
water to 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder to make a thick paste. Apply this paste
on the psoriatic lesions and cover with gauze. Let the paste sit on the skin
for the night. Remove the gauze in the morning and rinse the affected area with
tepid water. Reapply the paste after a few hours. Repeat this procedure every
day until you see satisfactory results.
2.
Apple Cider Vinegar
When
the flare-ups occur, drink a glass of water two times every day into which you
have mixed 1 teaspoon of organic apple cider vinegar. This home remedy also
benefits overall health since it acts as a detoxifying drink.
In
3 parts of lukewarm water, add 1 part of apple cider vinegar. Dip a clean
washcloth in this mixture and apply it to the affected area as a warm compress
for 1 minute. Repeat the exercise many times a day, especially when the
flare-ups occur.
3. Oatmeal

warm water and add 1 cup of finely-powdered oatmeal to it. When the flare-ups
occur, spend 15-20 minutes every day in this bath for relief. After getting out
of the bath, rinse your body with tepid water. Pat dry skin with a soft and
clean towel. Remember to apply a good lotion generously afterward.
2.
Take 2 handfuls of
rolled oats and wrap it in a muslin cloth. Place the bag of oats in the bath
tub and let hot water pour over it. Add some cold water to the bath to make the
water temperature tolerable. Squeeze out the contents of the bag of oats. The
water turn should turn milky. Climb into the bath tub and relax in this milky
water for 10 minutes.

You can also use the
bag of oats as a gentle exfoliating cleanser while you are soaking in the
water. After getting out of the bath tub, pat dry your skin with a soft and
gentle towel. Apply a luxurious moisturizer. This bath can be made every day
when flare-ups occur. Remember to throw the bag of oats away after using it once.

you know that the banana peels that we throw away contain vital ingredients
that can cure skin disorders? Rub the inner side of a banana peel on the
affected part of the skin. You will find relief and the rashes will disappear.
