How effective are home remedies for managing Psoriasis?
Home remedies are surprisingly effective in the management of psoriasis, particularly when they are integrated in a holistic approach to treating the condition by taking into consideration the imbalance in the body. Although they cannot cure psoriasis (it is a chronic, autoimmune disease), the appropriate natural remedies can significantly decrease its exacerbation levels, alleviate inflammation, and contribute to the healing of the skin internally. In Iridology, psoriasis is seen not merely as a skin problem but as a reflection of internal toxicity, weak elimination pathways, and an overburdened system. Hence, natural interventions that address external symptoms and internal causes have the potential to be effective in helping to control this condition.
Let’s explore how home remedies can help, what science and Iridology say about them, and how to combine them for the best results.
Did you know you can treat Psoriasis at home? A lot of the home treatments may only work for a short time but it’s important to learn where to start and how to continue treatment with proper knowledge and the key helping factor, which you will find out in this video.
Understanding Psoriasis: More Than Skin Deep
Psoriasis is a long-term inflammatory disorder that accelerates the skin cell lifecycle leading to thick and scaly skin patches that are usually itchy. It most commonly affects the elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back. But Iridology is founded on the idea that the skin reminds us about what is happening within the body, especially the health of the liver, lymphatic system and elimination organs.
That is to say, in case these systems are clogged or slow, toxins escape via the skin. This is the reason why the use of creams or ointments is not sufficient. Cleansing the body and supporting it internally is also to be given priority in order to really manage psoriasis.
The Iridology Perspective on Psoriasis
Iridology, the science of the iris to determine the health of the body, perceives psoriasis as an expression of the disruption of elimination channels–in particular, liver, kidneys and bowels. The underlying factors are a congested lymphatic system and high toxic load.
By reading the iris, an iridologist may identify weak zones that need support. For instance:
- Liver zone
Suggests sluggish detoxification or poor fat metabolism.
Indicates poor absorption or overgrowth of harmful microbes.
Shows toxin accumulation and sluggish circulation.
With that perspective, natural management of psoriasis entails the de-toxification of the system, the strengthening of the elimination organs, and nourishing the body with appropriate nutrients, all which can be aided with the right home remedies.
Home Remedies That Can Help Manage Psoriasis
The following are some of the most effective natural remedies topical and internal with the backing of traditional knowledge, Iridology and new scientific findings.
Aloe Vera: The Soothing Healer
The aloe vera gel is the old-fashioned home remedy which is used to soothe inflamed skin. It is soothing and hydrating, which is beneficial in the reduction of redness, itching and scaling. It has been observed that aloe can be used in mild to moderate cases of psoriasis with a frequency of application.
How to use
Apply pure aloe vera gel (preferably straight from the leaf) twice daily to affected areas. Avoid commercial products with alcohol or synthetic fragrances.
Iridology connection
Aloe keeps the skin and digestive tract operating, which will help decrease internal inflammation, which is usually one of the causes of psoriasis.

Apple Cider Vinegar: Restoring Skin pH and Detox Support
Itching may also be relieved with diluted apple cider vinegar (ACV) to disinfect the skin. It also helps in liver detoxification and internal body pH balancing–which are critical in the Iridology perspective.
How to use
Mix one part ACV with three parts water and apply gently with a cotton pad. For internal support, take 1 teaspoon of organic ACV in a glass of water or herbal tea before meals, if tolerated.
Caution
Avoid using on cracked or bleeding skin, as it may sting.
Coconut Oil: Deep Nourishment for Dry Skin
Coconut oil is used to make the plaques of psoriasis soft and less dry. It is also able to calm irritation through its natural anti-inflammatory compounds.
How to use
Massage virgin coconut oil onto affected skin after bathing. It can also be added to meals for internal support.
Iridology connection
Coconut oil provides healthy fats that nourish cell membranes, supporting both liver function and skin repair.
Oatmeal Baths: Relieving Itch and Redness
Colloidal oatmeal has been proven throughout time as a remedy for itchy, irritated skin. It traps moisture and acts as a protective coating and soothes inflammation.
How to use
Add one cup of finely ground oatmeal to warm (not hot) bathwater. Soak for 15–20 minutes, then pat dry gently.
Pro tip
Follow with a natural moisturiser such as shea butter or coconut oil.
Turmeric: The Anti-Inflammatory Powerhouse
The active ingredient of turmeric is curcumin that possesses strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps modulate immune activity and may reduce psoriasis severity.
How to use
Add turmeric to curries, soups, or smoothies. To enhance its effect, one may take a high quality of turmeric supplement with black pepper (piperine) to increase its absorption.
Iridology connection
Turmeric supports liver cleansing and purification, helping to reduce the internal toxic load that can manifest as skin issues.
Epsom Salt Baths: Detoxifying and Relaxing
Taking a bath in Epsom salt will aid in remedying scaling and drawing out toxins through the skin. It also relaxes the muscles and helps in maintaining magnesium level which is usually low among individuals with chronic inflammatory conditions.
How to use
Dissolve two cups of Epsom salt in a warm bath and soak for 20 minutes. Do this two to three times weekly.
Lifestyle Remedies That Make a Difference
Home remedies are the most effective in the presence of healthy lifestyle behaviours that promote detoxification and alleviate inflammation. Here’s what helps most:
Stay hydrated
Drink plenty of purified water to help flush out toxins.
Eat anti-inflammatory foods
Eat fruits, vegetables, foods rich in omega-3 (such as flax seed and chia), and shun processed sugars and dairy.
Support your liver
Herbal teas like dandelion, burdock, or milk thistle can enhance detoxification.
Get sunlight in moderation
Vitamin D, which helps to manage the immune system, is increased by brief, frequent exposure to sunlight.
Manage stress
Emotional tension is a common trigger for psoriasis flare-ups. Meditation, deep breathing exercises or mild yoga can be used to relax the nervous system.
The Role of Iridology in Personalising Remedies
Iridology does not merely diagnose the organs that are strained but it also assists in prescribing medications more precisely to the individual constitution. For example:
- Regular dry brushing and using herbal lymph cleansers may be more helpful to a person with a lymphatic constitution.
- A person with weak digestion may require probiotics or digestive enzymes.
- A toxic liver zone can mean that there is a need to undertake a mild detox programme under a professional supervision.
With Iridology as a guide, it is possible to select the appropriate combination of internal and external remedies which will go to not just the symptoms–but the root causes.
When to Seek Professional Help
Much as home remedies are effective, psoriasis may have different degrees of severity. In case of widespread plaques, pain in the joints (psoriatic arthritis), infection, see a doctor or an integrative practitioner. A certified Iridologist can assist your doctor in helping you to heal naturally and safely.
