Understanding Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. While it can be challenging to live with, there are many ways to manage the symptoms and improve your quality of life.

What You Might Experience

Living with psoriasis can present various challenges:

Red, scaly patches of skin that may be itchy or painful
Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
Thickened, pitted nails or nail separation
Joint pain and stiffness in some cases
Itching and burning sensations
Emotional impact on self-esteem and confidence
Symptoms that flare with stress or certain triggers

How Homoeopathy Can Help

Homoeopathy views psoriasis as an external manifestation of internal imbalances, often related to immune system function, stress, or constitutional factors. We look at your unique experience - the location and appearance of your patches, what makes them better or worse, and your overall health.

During a consultation, we explore your complete health story, including your stress levels, family history, and how psoriasis affects your daily life. The goal is to address the underlying factors that contribute to your symptoms and support your body's natural healing processes.

Potential Homoeopathic Approaches

Every person's experience with psoriasis is unique. Here are some approaches that may be considered based on individual symptoms:

Arsenicum Album

For psoriasis with burning, itching, and anxiety, often worse at night, with a need for order and precision.

Sulphur

Characterized by psoriasis with intense itching and burning, often worse from heat and washing.

Graphites

For psoriasis with thick, sticky discharge, particularly in skin folds, with rough, cracked skin.

Sepia

Often indicated for psoriasis in women, with hormonal influences and a feeling of indifference.

Alongside homoeopathic treatment, these skin care practices can make a big difference:

Keep skin moisturized - Using gentle, non-irritating products
