Tip 1: Apply primrose or olive oil or ointments containing tar preparations, salicylic acid and anthralin, to the affected areas two to three times a day and before and after you take a shower or bath in lukewarm water.
If taking a bath, add some Epson Salt, olive oil and/or milk. Fish oil has also been known to work well for some. Again, reapply some oil or sensitive skin moisturizer after bathing.
Tip 2: Try to prevent the skin from drying by using an air humidifier in your room. Use sensitive skin moisturizers and soaps. Perfumes too need to be skin-sensitive.
Tip 3: Cut down on red meat and fatty foods and boost your diet with more nuts which contain oils, chocolate and cranberry fruits. Fish such as tuna, salmon, halibut and snapper are rich in oils and omega fatty acids and are natural remedies for curing psoriasis.
Tip 4: Increase your daily intake folic acid to help speed the process of healing. These can easily be acquired from bran, cereals and broccoli. Fiber rich foods too are also a great way to expedite the healing process.
High levels of fiber can be found in cooked cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage. Pears and guavas are excellent, dried figs and flaxseed are also high in fiber. Cooked peas are especially high, as are most cooked beans.
Tip 5: Avoid processed and junk food as they contain saturated fats, sugars and sodium which all impede digestion and will slow the process of healing psoriasis. Red meat and dairy products should be avoided too, as they contain arachidonic acid, which often causes skin imflammation. Citrus fruits, pickles and spicy food will slow any remission, so avoid those as well.
Tip 6: Since psoriasis stems from the fungus in the digestive tract, an excellent way to free yourself from it forever is to tackle the problem from the inside. Before eating fruits and vegetables, spray them with a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar and then wash them off cleanly. Also, a daily glass of aloe vera juice can help eliminate the problem considerably.
Try and diversify your daily diet and have some of this one day and something else the next day. This will keep the natural body fluids in good balance.
Tip 7: Last but not least, because psoriasis can often be caused by stress, try to give yourself a stress free time when things get too much. Take light walks or practice a little yoga will help you to relax more.
