Psoriasis stems from genetics, the environment and your body’s immune system. 80% of those who suffer from this chronic autoimmune disease, including celebrities like Kim Kardashian and LeAnn Rimes, have plaque psoriasis. Plaques are thick, red, itchy patches that can show up on any part of the body. Although the cause of psoriasis is not completely clear, it is important for those with the condition to understand that it is more than just a skin problem, and to seek medical attention if needed, especially in moderate to severe cases. In addition to your recommended treatment, complementary naturally cures can decrease your discomfort and improve your quality of life. Ask your doctor about trying these natural remedies for treating psoriasis.

Topical treatment of psoriasis through using essential oils is known to reduce inflammation, calm irritation, promote healing and deliver antibacterial and antiseptic properties. Some popular essential oils for treating psoriasis include:
In addition to eating right and using natural topical remedies, there are things you can do in your daily routine that can improve your psoriasis symptoms. Start with reducing stress as much as possible. Try meditation or start by simply taking a ten minute “time-out” to unwind a few times throughout the day.
Exercising can also reduce stress and is another beneficial lifestyle change. Try to incorporate exercise into your schedule, even if it is just a thirty-minute walk around the neighborhood.
You can also unwind in a calming bath of Epsom salt or oatmeal. Soaking in either of these soothing ingredients will not only ease your nerves, but can also alleviate itching and help the plaques shed from your skin.
