Psoriasis, what is it, possible treatments!

For the nearly six million people that suffer from psoriasis, it’s almost as if their skin is on speed. Normally, skin cells go from birth to death in about 28 days. But when you have psoriasis, your skin cells complete the whole process in a mere three to four days—almost nine times faster than usual. As a result, affected areas develop thick, red patches of skin covered with flaky, silvery scales. In severe cases, pus-filled blisters form on the palms of the hand or soles of the feet and the nails may become pitted and discolored. Itching and bleeding are common.

Episodes Triggered By Stress, Trauma, Dry Skin, and Bacterial Infection

Psoriasis episodes can be triggered by stress, trauma, dry skin and bacterial infection. An immune system abnormality likely plays a role. While it isn’t contagious, it does tend to run in families. Psoriasis can come and go—and just when you think you have it under control, there it is again! The longer you’ve had it, the longer it may take to clear up.

Dead Sea Salt Mineral Bath

If you have severe psoriasis, try a Dead Sea salt mineral bath before applying an herbal ointment. High in magnesium, potassium, calcium and iodine, a double-blind controlled study of 23 patients by Israeli researchers found that Dead Sea salts significantly reduced psoriasis symptoms. Simply add one to two cups of Dead Sea salt to warm (not hot) bathwater and soak for 15 to 20 minutes.

There is a lot of confusion and misunderstanding about these types of skin conditions and i have found over years of practice that most of them are the result of deep seated, suppressed negative emotions, such as anger, fear, and guilt.

These supressed emotions, which eventually express themselves physically through the largest organ of the body (the skin), can have been put in place through any form of emotional trauma at any time in someones life.

I don't think it is always necessary to find and address these 'root' situations, sometimes if we can clear the body of toxins and blocks through a detox system, this release in itself is enough to do the job.

I have a very successful 'Detox' system which I employ as part of my overall 'maintenance' programme, it is in the form of three stages, firstly an ionic foot bath which ver a period of around 30 mins ionises all the blood in the body removing around 18% of the accumilated toxins, this process then carries on via the bodies natural systems for around 3 days to a week. Secondly, there is a Reflexology treatment which encourages and boosts the bodies internal systems to perform to thier maximum ability thereby enhancing the process. Thirdly we use dead sea bath salts which also lift toxins out of the body. This process can dramatically improve skin condition by stimulating blood circulation and infusing essential minerals throughout the body and skin, relieve joint and muscle aches and pains and reducing stress and tension.

So, i would suggest that if you are struggling with a skin condition you might want to investigate and try all or part of this combination of treatments.

If anyone has had any positive or negative experiences with any other methods, let me know with a post, please.

looking forward to your comments.
