Do You Know Someone In Need Of A Psoriasis Treatment?

I am here to help guide you in the best psoriasis treatment. My name is Nanette and as a Certified Master Herbalist I tell people that first, know that psoriasis is actually a very common skin disorder.

Over 7 million people in the United States have it. So most of us know someone that has this condition.

To begin with, this skin condition affects your skin by causing thick red , silvery scales and flaky skin patches to form causing sensitive skin. Sometimes pus-filled blisters form.

Most of the time, the skin on the elbows and knees is affected, but a rash can occur anywhere on the body, including the scalp, fingernails and mouth, and even the skin over the joints.

You can keep a daily journal of the condition of your skin and what symptoms form in order to determine if you have the beginnings of psoriasis.

Many people wonder what causes psoriasis. As frustrating as it can be, no one knows exactly what causes it. It's not caused by something you ate or something you're allergic to.

The reason your skin becomes thick and red is that the skin cells are growing faster than normal. Because of their rapid growth, there isn't enough time for the cells to shed (fall off). As a result, the cells pile up on top of each other, making thick, scaly patches on your skin.

In mild cases, a few areas are affected; in severe cases, it can be over your whole body.

It can get better or worse but a proper psoriasis treatment can bring incredible relief to you or a loved one.

I frequently get asked if psoriasis is contagious.

Men, women, children and people of all races can get it, but it is not contagious therefore, you can't catch it from another person or give it to someone by touching them, and you can't spread it to other parts of your body. Simply, anyone can get this disease.

Know that the disease sometimes runs in families. If unsure, check with those in your extended family tree.

I also get asked, "What makes this skin problem worse?"

Some things that can make it worse are stress and infections. Some medicines can make it worse, too.

These medicines include certain high blood pressure medicines, such as beta blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, as well as pain relievers like some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen).

1) One free treatment is simply being in the sun. Sunlight can help some, but be careful not to over do it. A sunburn can make your problem worse.

2) The next helpful advice for your psoriasis treatment is to include nutritional herbal supplements as well as omega 3 oils in your diet. Countless studies show that increasing the consumption of herbs and omega-3 oils improves conditions of psoriasis, eczema as well as other types of dry, rough, red and scaly patches of skin experienced by so many.

3) Wash with a specially formulated mild "non-soap" cleanser , that contains only herbal ingredients that are organically grown and hypo-allergenic.

Vitamin-derived antioxidants from plant sourced ingredients not only make the best ingredients for your "inside", but for your "outside" as well. A pure and gentle cleanser will be just right.

4) The last, but extremely important psoriasis treatment is to apply a therapeutic moisturizer that is hypo-allergenic. Unfortunately, it is difficult at best to find a product that can effectively hydrate and repair the skin.

I advise my customers to become a "label reader" as this is vitally important. Choose only a specially formulated therapeutic body cream for the much thicker patches psoriasis often forms. It should be a very thick cream with a very rich emollient level. It should also contain the vitamins C, A and E as well as soothing Chamomille, Comfrey and Calendula Herbal Extracts and Shea Butter .

These prime ingredients have a great therapeutic effect on healing and skin restoration. For those of you who have psoriasis on the scalp, face or torso, choose specially formulated products for those areas as well.

The #1 most important factor about a natural therapeutic skin cream is that it has the capability to penetrate not only the thick scales of your psoriasis, but also penetrate the 7 layers of skin .

This is crucial to getting "deep down" relief and resolve.

The ingredient urea provides this important feature. The dry scales should improve almost immediately after you begin your psoriasis treatment with the right products. For a few, it may take several days to several weeks for the affected areas of your skin to return to a more normal thickness.

As an important note, you must be consistent and diligent. Your psoriasis will improve since the body responds to natural, plant based remedies quite well.

Being a practicing herbalogist, I have seen 1000's get relief with the right specially formulated products.

Below you will find a link to the natural products I recommend to all my clients that, in my professional evaluation, work BEST for psoriasis treatment.

Letters to Nanette:

I am 60 years old and I had been going to the same dermatologist for 35 years when I came to see you. You asked me why I kept going to the same doctor for so many years without any relief and I told you, "Because I HOPED that someday, something would work!" You looked at my caked up psoriasis on my elbows and knees and recommended the non-soap cleanser and the Double Strength TheraCream.
I thought it too simple of a remedy at first but went home to try your recommendation. I was literally SHOCKED when in less than 3 weeks my elbows and knees cleared up!! I hadn't seen them so clear in 35 years! Well, I guess you're never too old to learn something new. Natural remedies DO WORK and are a lot more effective and kind to the body. Thank you dear lady!

I was recently searching the web for a psoriasis treatment. I came across your web page and thought that I would contact you. I am a 21 year old girl who has suffered with this horrid disorder my entire life. During the summer I would miss swimming with my 1 year old daughter because I didn't want to be gawked at. The psoriasis covered over 60% of my body ranging from my head, most of my legs and knees, arms and elbows, stomach, back, and scalp area. I would wear sweat shirts and jeans on a 101 degrees day because of my problem. I would not be able to sit down on the floor to talk to my daughter without my knees splitting in half and bleeding. It was killing me. I felt that I would never be able to smile again and have some confidence. After contacting you and following your recommendations my psoriasis is nearly gone and I now have my life back again. Thank you with all my heart, S. A. Bellevue, KY
