What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is an autoimmune skin condition characterized by red, scaly patches that can appear anywhere on the body. It affects around 2-3% of the global population and can significantly impact quality of life.
Common Types of Psoriasis
1. Plaque Psoriasis
The most common form, causing raised, red patches covered with silvery scales.
2. Guttate Psoriasis
Small, dot-like lesions that often appear after a strep throat infection.
3. Scalp Psoriasis
Affects the scalp, causing thick scales and severe itching.
The Homoeopathic Approach
Unlike conventional treatments that use steroids and immunosuppressants, homoeopathy treats psoriasis from within:
- Constitutional Treatment: We select remedies based on your complete symptom picture, including mental and emotional aspects.
- Reducing Inflammation Naturally: Homoeopathic medicines help calm the overactive immune response.
- Preventing Recurrence: By addressing the root cause, we aim to prevent future flare-ups.
Common Remedies Used
- Arsenicum Album: For dry, scaly skin with burning sensation
- Graphites: For thick, cracked skin that oozes
- Sulphur: For intensely itchy eruptions that worsen with heat
- Petroleum: For deep cracks and dry, rough skin
Note: The choice of remedy depends on individual symptoms and should be prescribed by a qualified homoeopath.
