Natural Cures For Psoriasis – 6 Ways To Start Healing

There are several natural cures for psoriasis but the best thing to do is combine them for best results.

If you’re looking for an overnight cure, it’s not going to happen. New skin takes about six weeks to come to the surface.

Here are six ideas that can start the healing process:

Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment

When there’s a 100% oxygen environment, skin heals very rapidly. That’s why some doctors are recommending that this treatment be used for stubborn diabetic ulcers that won’t heal and even infections of the bone that won’t heal. In Europe and Russia, hyperbaric oxygen treatment is used for stubborn skin disorders such as psoriasis.

This treatment is done in hyperbaric oxygen chambers made of clear plexiglass so you can watch what’s happening outside the chamber. Lying down on a gurney, the attendant slides you into the chamber and then slowly raises the oxygen level so that you can accommodate to it. You won’t feel anything negative except your ears popping, similar to a plane rising to a higher altitude. Inside the chamber, you can even watch television for the hour to hour and a half of the treatment session.

Sheep, Goat or Camel Milk Soap

These soaps have been known to help improve skin disorders. One woman, Christine Kocourek had psoriasis for years and decided to make her own soap. On her Floppy Ear Goat Farm in the Midwest, her goats were already producing quite a bit of goat milk, so she added the goat milk to her soap recipe. Over time her skin cleared up completely, and now she adds goat milk to all her soaps along with other pure ingredients such as olive oil, coconut oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, canola oil and grapeseed oil. Her clients rave about the effects her soaps have on their skin conditions and call it one of the natural cures for psoriasis.

Nutritional Supplements

Often psoriasis is linked to a fatty acid deficiency, so incorporating omega 3 fats and evening primrose oil is quite important. The dosage is usually 4000 mg omega 3 fats and 12 evening primrose oil capsules daily.

However, nutrition is always a matter of balance, so other supplements must be taken to ensure nutritional adequacy. The protocol should include a multivitamin / mineral, B complex vitamins, 2 tablespoons lecithin, 500 mcg folic acid, zinc, vitamin B6, vitamin E, vitamin C with bioflavonoids, vitamin B12, and high doses of vitamin A (up to 75,000 IU daily for the first few weeks, then drop down to 50,000 IU and finally 25,000 IU). Dietary silica is very important for skin healing as well.
