PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Psoriasis

Psoriasis is an increasingly common skin condition in which the body’s immune system wrongly attacks the skin. As a result, it leads to patches of inflammation that may appear as red, itchy, and scaly white patches, particularly on the lower back, hands, legs, scalp, and face. Patches tend to subside for weeks to months and reappear again. This is the natural course of the disease. 

The cause of psoriasis is unknown; however, our body’s defence system and genetics are strongly involved. A few reasons that can trigger psoriasis are infections of the skin or throat, cold weather, stress, smoking or alcohol consumption, medicines used to treat high blood pressure or malaria, or skin injury. 

Psoriasis can occur at any age; however, generally, a person starts to show symptoms between the ages of 15-25 years. Stress and emotions are considered to be strong triggers of flare-ups. If left untreated, psoriasis may start involving the nails, joints, and other tissues inside the body like the lungs. 

How can homeopathy help?

Any homeopathic treatment works by stimulating and restoring the body’s naturals defence system or immune system. Since psoriasis causes changes in the immune system, homeopathy can help restore balance to the altered immunity. Homeopathy helps to eliminate the root cause of this disease and brings the functioning of our defence system back to normal. Since emotions are a strong trigger for psoriasis flareups, homeopathy helps immensely by boosting body’s emotional coping mechanisms.
