Psoriasis Different Ways To Cure It

Why is Psoriasis difficult to treat?

1. Psoriasis is a very complex immunological disease
   which is not fully understood. Multiple
   parameters play a role in development of this
   disease and this varies from patient to patient.
2. In order to treat the patient of psoriasis, one
   has to investigate all the above stated areas and
   plan the treatment accordingly. Most of the
   systems of medicine are not equipped to address
   all the complex causes of psoriasis in totality
   to treat this disease.
3. Homeopathy is somewhere close to treating the
   disease in totality however, not always a sure
   shot therapy. The homeopathic approach involves
   the understanding the complete case analysis of
   the patient, understanding the case in terms of
   totality of symptoms and understanding the
   complex mindset and emotional state of the
   patient. After deeply studying the above
   criteria, homeopathic medicine is selected and
   given to the patient. This is called
   constitutional way of prescribing homeopathic
   medicines.
4. Homeopathic medicines work by correcting the
   depressed immune system, addressing the genetic
   tendencies and boosting the natural healing
   mechanism of the body. Psoriasis, even if very
   severer and extensive, can find significant
   recovery using homeopathy. Also, psoriasis could
   be taken into a long symptoms free period or a
   remission, using homeopathy.

Treatment for Guttate Psoriasis

• Guttate psoriasis is a type of psoriasis (skin
  disease) which manifests itself as rash of red
  small spots covered by fine scales on the top. It
  has also been given the name of red drop or tear
  drop psoriasis (from the latin word guttae for
  drop). Children, teenagers and young adults below
  30 are affected more commonly.
• Homoeopathic treatment for Guttate psoriasis
• Along with other types of psoriasis homoeopathy
  is strongly recommended for Guttate psoriasis
  treatment. Homoeopathic treatment aims at
  correcting the immune dysfunction rather than
  suppressing exaggerated reactions given by immune
  system.
• Homoeopathic system believes in considering
  emotional tendencies, thought processes, stress
  factors of the individual. Homoeopathic treatment
  is thus found to be highly effective for cases
  where patients notice the flare up due to
  psychological stress or when patients trace back
  the start of lesions to some emotional triggers.
• A homoeopathic doctor thus selects the remedy
  which covers pathology of psoriasis as well as
  other mental or emotional characteristics of the
  patient.
• Some of the homoeopathic remedies which promptly
  cover the pathology of psoriasis are Arsenic
  album, Kali Bromatum, Kali Arsnicum, Thyroidinum,
  Radium Bromide, Sulphur, Kali Sulph.

Scalp Psoriasis A Smarter and Effective way to
Care and Cure

• Psoriasis is one of the most common auto immune
  skin diseases (disease where your immunity
  attacks your own body). And talking about scalp
  psoriasis, it is a common variant among the
  various types of psoriasis.
• It can vary from very mild thin flakes sometimes
  mistaken as dandruff, to very severe thick flakes
  which are associated with bleeding and severe
  scratching. This may gradually spread over to the
  forehead, behind ears or nape of neck.
• Caring for scalp psoriasis
• Moisturizing the scalp you can start application
  of essential oils or gels (like Alovera) to
  soften the skin which has become harsh and rough.
• Be very gentle when applying any cream. Do not
  rub or scrub while shampooing. Doing so will in
  turn increase the problem more.
• Avoid application of any chemicals on the scalp
  like hair dye and gels. It can irritate the skin
  further.
• Tar shampoos and anti dandruff shampoos have been
  proven to give temporary relief and may be used
  with the homeopathic treatment as well.
• Application of olive oil and intake also seems to
  make healing process faster in some patients.
•  Do not blow dry your hair as it can worsen the
  dryness you are already fighting with.
• Foods rich in Vit D and Vit E are said to help
  quicken the healing process in the body

Nail Psoriasis vs Fungus How to differentiate
between the two?

• Features to distinguish Nail psoriasis vs Fungus
• Psoriasis of the nails can be triggered following
  any trauma or injury to the nails (koebners
  phenomenon) as seen in psoriasis of the skin.
• Fungus of the nails or onchyomycosis is caused by
  a fungus causing infection. There are some
  factors which predispose one to contract fungal
  infection of the nails. The most important factor
  which favors fungus is warm climate. Fungus grows
  well in a warm and humid climate. Hence it is
  mostly found in people who sweat a lot,
  individuals who love swimming and do not dry
  their body properly (Especially the spaces
  between the toes).
• The two can be differentiated by the appearance,
  as psoriasis has a classical yellow nail pitting
  (indentation) which is not found in any fungal
  infection.
• The yellow pitting in psoriasis and hyper
  pigmentation (dark discolouration) in case of
  fungus can be the strong differentiating points.
• Fungal infection usually spreads from the toes
  (Tenia pedis or athletes foot), to the
  inter-digital spaces followed by spread to the
  nails. It starts with a small yellow dot beneath
  the nail. In fungus infection there is a foul
  odor with dull appearance of the nails.
• Psoriatic nails gradually tend to get separated
  from the nail bed (oncholysis) whereas the fungal
  nails just get deformed. There is a chalky
  appearance under the nails which lifts up the
  nails which further causes pain and tenderness.
