Q. Is there any cure for psoriasis in homeopathy?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
Yes! Homeopathy offers a range of treatments for psoriasis sufferers, both acute and chronic cases. Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease characterized by the overproduction of skin cells which results in scaly patches on the skin. It can be itchy, sore and can vary in severity from person to person.
Homeopathic treatment for psoriasis usually looks at treating the root cause as well as alleviating symptoms - namely inflammation, redness and itching. Popular homeopathic remedies prescribed include Calcarea carbonica, Graphites, Natrum muriaticum and Sepia among others. These remedies are tailored to each individual’s unique presentation of the condition — their symptoms may differ even with identical diagnoses so their treatment plan should reflect this individuality to ensure maximum effectiveness.
In general however, most homeopaths recommend lifestyle modifications such as avoiding too much heat or cold on affected areas (soaking them instead), reducing stress levels if possible, getting enough sleep and avoiding spicy foods that may worsen redness or irritation; all very important adjuncts when taking any kind of natural medicine. Alongside these environmental changes, homeopathy also advocates specific dietary tweaks like increasing intake of omega-3 fatty acids through fish oil supplements or diet additions like flaxseeds or chia seeds which help reduce inflammation caused by psoriasis flare-ups but careful monitoring is essential since restoring balance within your body isn't something that happens overnight. Lastly it's also worth mentioning that although generally considered safe and free from side effects many people tend to experience what’s known as ‘detoxing’ during homeopathic treatment with some experiencing breakouts while others notice improved energy levels after just a few days - this type of reaction typically resolves itself though how long this takes depends largely on each patient's overall health status prior to beginning treatment .
The key point here is that despite there being no single magic cure for all different types of psoriasis patients who opt for a holistic approach often find relief - sometimes quickly - quite surprisingly given its low profile compared to mainstream practices but do remember always seek out a qualified practitioner before engaging in any form of self-treatment!
