Treatment of psoriasis is performed using a complex effect, consisting of several directions. Folk remedies for psoriasis are one of the possible vectors of therapy created to reduce the intensity of manifestations and help eliminate the general symptoms of the disease.
What are the best tools to treat psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a special type of non-infectious disease that has an autoimmune nature and is associated with inflammatory lesions. Its development is provoked by a special gene, which is born and transmitted by parents. Based on this, the manifestations of the disease can be attributed to a kind of genetic mutations, which are associated with the development of inflammation and give a lot of unpleasant sensations.
Treatment of psoriasis is based on the use of an integrated approach, guided by the use of medications. In this case, the appointment of all other areas is to increase the effectiveness and increase the duration of the main treatment.
To date, there is no specific medicine to suppress the symptoms of the disease. Therefore, the treatment of each specific case is performed individually based on the available signs, their intensity, degree of development and general condition of the patient's body.
Basically, to suppress the manifestations of the disease, drugs are used that have a toxic effect on the elements of the rash. Also, complex therapy can include corticosteroids, immunomodulators, anti-inflammatory drugs and much more.
Often, to improve the effectiveness of treatment, doctors use alternative medicine techniques. At the same time, it is not possible to answer the question of which of them are the best due to the individuality of each specific case and the characteristics of the human body.
Folk remedies are broader than all the directions used in the presence of signs of psoriasis. At the same time, different tools are used to treat a disease that has affected different parts of the body.
They can be conditionally divided into three major groups, which look like this:
- for the body and other smooth areas of the body;
- for the head and scalp;
- for hands, elbows and feet.
Each of these categories contains a large number of recipes and techniques that have been compiled by humans since ancient times. Some of them are really capable of bringing relief, while others show absolutely no positive dynamics.
The most effective folk recipes for eliminating the manifestations of psoriasis in the body
Signs of psoriasis can develop anywhere on the body. Most often, however, they affect the abdomen, back, and thighs, occupying large areas of skin. The rash itself can take various forms and is characterized by a change in the pigmentation of the affected areas. In addition, as a result of the growth of the upper layer of the epithelium, the structure of the tissues changes and their overgrowth occurs. As a result, the skin begins to crumble and peel, causing discomfort and leaving behind age spots.
Traditional medicine has at its disposal a large number of tools designed to relieve inflammation and soften excess dried epithelium.
The most effective recipes for suppressing symptoms in the body are as follows:
- To create wheat grass baths, take a liter jar, into which a finely chopped root of a plant is thrown so that the container is exactly half full. The contents of the jar is poured into a wide pot and filled with 3 liters of water. After that, the vessel is put on fire and brought to a boil, covered with a lid and moved to a warm place for infusion. After 4-5 hours the pot is placed again on the stove and put on the boil. The finished soup is cooled to room temperature, after which it is completely filtered with gauze. The purified fluid is poured into a warm water bath, in which a person is placed. In this case, the papular plaques should be completely under water, and the total procedure time is 15-25 minutes.
- Take 1-1, 5 liters of boiled water, in which 0, 5 cups of copper sulfate and 1 tbsp. l. potassium permanganate. All ingredients are thoroughly mixed until completely dissolved. The areas of the lesions are treated with a small cotton swab or gauze, previously moistened with the resulting composition. It is necessary to hide the manifestations of psoriasis in such a way that the active substances penetrate into all corners of the rash. It is necessary to wash them with extremely warm water without using soap or other cosmetic products. The general course of therapy is 8-10 days and can be performed no more than 2-3 times a week.
- You can get rid of the manifestations of the disease with the help of a home-made lotion, which is based on 2 eggs and 1 tablespoon. l. any vegetable oil.

In this form, the solution is injected for 4-6 hours, and then filtered through cheesecloth. The resulting liquid is washed with a gauze swab, which is fixed to the affected area of skin. This method is quite effective, but only if the redness area does not reach a large size.
All of these techniques are most effective in relation to the manifestations of psoriasis.
Moreover, their effectiveness for each specific case may vary, due to the individual characteristics of the human body and the factors that provoked the development of signs of the disease.
Traditional methods for psoriasis: treatment of the scalp and its features
The appearance of signs of psoriasis on the head or other scalp area significantly complicates the treatment, making it impossible to use most of the techniques. Based on this, the use of folk remedies for treating the manifestations of the disease is more than ever justified.
The most effective main recipes are as follows:
- Take 300 grams of fresh celandine, which is crushed and passed through a meat grinder. The resulting liquid is squeezed completely with gauze and to the liquid extracted from it are added 30-40 ml of red wine. The resulting solution moistens the inflamed areas on the head so that the fluid covers not only the skin but also the hair. Put a rubber cap or plastic bag on the head. The head should stay in this position for at least 15-20 minutes and at the end of the procedure it should be rinsed thoroughly with water.
- Two sunflower heads are washed and crushed well, after which the resulting mass is poured with white wine in an amount of 50-70 ml. In this condition, the agent is injected for 48-72 hours. After this time, the liquid is squeezed and used to create compresses.
- Rosehip will help remove the manifestations of psoriasis on the head. Plant stems are taken, well dried and burned. The resulting ash is mixed with Vaseline and diluted with a small amount of juice from the berries. Use a similar cream-like mixture to apply to the scalp. At the same time, due to the high fat content, after the procedure, the hair is washed with tar soap.
- Almost any vegetable oil can be used to prepare an oil compress. Before use, the product is warmed to room temperature and rubbed into the scalp, after which a rubber cap or plastic bag is placed. The procedure should be performed at night, and in the morning you should wash your hair thoroughly with tar soap.
- Take 1 tablespoon. l. berry flowers, place in a jar and pour 500 ml of boiling water. Close the container with a lid and put in a dark place for 24-48 hours. The resulting infusion is used inside in 100 ml after meals.
The above techniques are most effective for the manifestations of psoriasis on the head. Moreover, their use will make it possible not only to improve the condition of the skin, but also to have a beneficial effect on the condition of the hair.
Products for hands, elbows and feet and their characteristics
The most problematic areas of the skin are rightly considered the hands, elbows and knees. They are the ones that carry the greatest load, as not only do they have the greatest mobility, but they are also constantly subjected to mechanical stress of various kinds. Therefore, the formation of papular plaques in such parts of the body is more problematic.
Prescriptions for folk remedies that allow you to fight the signs of the disease are as follows:
- Take 4 tablespoons. dried ponytail, which is well crushed, folded into a saucepan and poured with 500 ml of water. The container is moved to the stove and put on the boil and then injected for 3-4 hours. The resulting liquid is filtered through cheesecloth and used to wash the affected areas of the body. At the same time, it is not recommended to wipe after the procedure, as the fluid should dry on its own and should be performed daily.
- To create the next lotion, take 20 grams. ash taken from oak branches and rose thighs, to which are added 100 gr. fat. All the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, and protein from 1 egg is added to them. In the future, the mixture is injected at room temperature for at least 15 days. The resulting lotion lubricates the sites of inflammation 3 times a day, and the overall course of treatment is at least 10-12 days.
- Egg whites are thrown into a saucepan. Add 2-3 tablespoons. l. honey, 1/3 moisturizing tube, 1 tbsp. garlic and some pink thighs. Mix all the ingredients in a blender until smooth.

In this case, the use of each of them must be agreed in advance with the doctor, who will determine the feasibility of their introduction into therapy and compliance with the main methods of treatment.
