SECRETS OF CURING PSORIASIS NATURALLY
VIDEO: HOW TO CURE PSORIASIS NATURALLY
Fortunately, instead of taking the traditional or conventional approach of suppressing the immune system – which can lead to other concerns with infectious disease – herbalists have tools to treat the rash effectively and safely.
Many treatments focus on eliminating the pain or the inflammation, but studies show that Oregon grape root has the potential to eliminate the rash altogether. Researchers tend to use a simple cream for topical application. While results are apparent in only one application, it’s best to continue treatment for about a month for lasting results.
Simply combine 4 ounces (1/2 cup) coconut oil with 2 Tablespoons of powdered Oregon grape root. (Yes, yes, we’re measuring an herb by volume, which is definitely breaking our own rules. We’re making this exception because the herb is powdered (which leaves little room for variation in weight) and it’s a topical formula. The goal is to ensure coverage on the scalp so in this case a volume based measurement is optimal.)
Combine well. We store the mixture in a sterile tin just like we would a balm or salve. To use, apply a generous amount directly to the affected area. Because the ointment still contains the herb, it may be slightly grainy so be gently during the application. The goal is not to exfoliate the skin, just to ensure ample coverage. Leave on the skin for a minimum of 1-2 hours or overnight, then bathe as usual. Reapply daily for 4 weeks.
