Life may seem mysterious and a difficult problem to solve when studied purely from a biological or physical standpoint. It is though not only interesting but also understandable when studied from the aspect of being an intelligent and perfect manifestation of the creative activity of the infinite creative principle of the universe or God. Homeopathy is a system founded by Dr.Samuel Hahemann in Germany. The universal law “Similia Simimlibus Curentur” is the natural law which homeopathy embraced ever since Hahemann established it in 1976. Todayit has gained popularity through out the world.

Homeopathic Treatment Of Psoriasis

By Neepa Sevak

Are you tormented from red scaly patches over your skin that fixes peoples eyes at you causing embarrassment? In that case this could be a symptom of Psoriasis, a recurring inflammatory unsightly skin condition. In psoriasis victims skin cells reproduce at an unusually expeditious pace. This causes cells to assemble on the skin’s surface instead of shedding, manifesting patchy lesions identified as psoriasis. Psoriasis patches are found on scalp, face, behind ears, chest, elbows, palms, finger nails, lower back, genitals, knees, legs, soles and toenails.

Living with psoriasis can be physically and emotionally challenging. In addition to its physical outcome on skin, psoriasis can also have a devastating influence on your emotional, psychological and social well being.

Types of Psoriasis

There are five different types of psoriasis:

Plaque Psoriasis: this is the most common form of Psoriasis also known as Psoriasis Vulgaris. It transpires as patches of bumpy reddish skin encased by white silvery scales. These patches form primarily on elbows, knees, lower back, chest and scalp.
Guttate Psoriasis: this cultivates in children and young adults following a Strep infection. It materializes as small dot sized red spots on the chest, arms and legs.
Pustular Psoriasis: this appears as tender areas of fiery red skin with white pus-filled blisters mainly on palms and soles. This can be triggered by infections, pregnancy, sunburns or certain medications.
Inverse Psoriasis: this shows as smooth, red lesions in skin folds like arm-pits, genitals, between the buttocks and under the breasts. This is more prevalent in people who are over weight.
Erythrodermic Psoriasis: this exhibits as extensive redness as if skin is burnt with severe itching and pain. This can be life threatening because the skin loses its defensive function and may not be able to safeguard against heat and fluid loss nor preclude harmful bacteria from entering the body. This can be activated by illnesses, emotional stress, alcoholism or excessive use of corticosteroids.

Homeopathic Approach to Psoriasis

Homeopathy contemplates Psoriasis as an immune interceded condition instigated by faulty signals in the body’s immune system. Homeopathy can propose a curative therapy approach for Psoriasis. Homeopathic medicines are natural and safe with no probability of any side effects, and they treat psoriasis without using any local ointments. The medicines work towards impeding the proliferation of skin cells which inevitably alleviates excessive scaling. Homeopathic remedies stimulate the body’s own healing potential by restoring balance of the immune system and countering the genetic predisposition. Homeopathic treatment will control the number and severity of lesions, minimize flare ups, improve your quality of life, maintain long term remission, reduce disability and in most cases bring about a permanent cure. Homeopathic remedies are gentle and easy to take, are regulated by the FDA and prepared according to the homeopathic pharmacopeia of the United States.

Self Care Measures

Drink plenty of fluids
Eat a balanced diet

Always bathe in warm water and not hot water
