Whilst many Doctors and Skin Specialists would conclude that Psoriasis is a lifetime sentence, this blog will share how Psoriasis can be healed naturally. You will need some degree of discipline and patience. Do remember that Psoriasis, like many other diseases, do not appear overnight. It is a result of toxic build up in your body.

Food Intake

In a busy world, getting sufficient and good quality sleep is often underrated. Sleep is important for overall health as this is the time where our body repairs various organs. Getting sufficient deep sleep is important for overall health and can also help reduce Psoriasis symptoms.

Smoking

This bad and expensive habit can make Psoriasis symptoms worse. It also increases the risk of other health problems. Quitting smoking can therefore reduce Psoriasis symptoms and improve overall health.

Stress Management

This is a trigger for Psoriasis flare-ups. It is important to practice stress relieving activities such as deep breathing, meditation, talking to someone who will listen, listening to classical music or watching a comedy. Reducing stress levels will promote healing of your Psoriasis.

Supplements

These are important in managing Psoriasis symptoms. This is because we are unlikely to obtain all our daily requirements for vitamins and minerals from foods alone, even if it is organic. This is due to soil quality depletion, oxidation by the time the food is sourced and used for our consumption and also how the meals are prepared. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil supplements such as Usana’s Biomega and Biomega Junior have anti-inflammatory properties.

Exposure To Sunlight

Natural Vitamin D from sunlight exposure can also help to manage Psoriasis Symptoms. Sunlight slows the growth of skin cells and reduces inflammation. However, you need to be cautious of over exposure to sunlight that can lead to skin damage and sunburn.

Turmeric

This is a spice commonly used in traditional Indian medicine. It contains a compound called curcumin which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Turmeric can be consumed as supplements, tea or even added to meals.
