Chapter 1:
The Basics of Psoriasis
In order to fully deal with the symptoms of psoriasis requires the need to
understand what psoriasis is and how it affects your skin. No one really
knows what causes psoriasis, but it is most closely related to a genetic link.
To understand psoriasis it’s important to figure out how normal skin works.
During the course of a month, the skin cells go through their lifestyle
process. The skin has two layers, the top and bottom layers. The newest
layers of the skin form on the bottom layer and slowly make their way to the
top. The top layer stays alive for those 28-30 days, before dying and falling
away. The process isn’t noticeable at all and we all use thousands of skin
cells each day during showers or towel drying afterwards.
- 5 -
When someone suffers with psoriasis, their skin process moves much faster.
Often the cycle happens in only 3-4 days. The new cells develop much more
quickly and force themselves through the top layer of skin. These new cells
cause a bit of a buildup of dead skin on the surface. The good news is that
the skins cells seem to affect only a small patch of skin at a time. The most
common areas this happens in are the scalp, elbows, knees, or knuckles, but
it can show up anywhere really. These areas of patchy, scaly, red skin are
more commonly known as plaques.
Psoriasis remains a mystery as far as the main causes are concerned.
Research has shown about 30% of all causes is based on family history.
However, there are a few lifestyle choices that may be a factor as well.
Excessive drinking, being overweight, too much stress, anxiety, sunburn,
and even some medications can bring about psoriasis or make the symptoms
a bit late.
Psoriasis may look a bit disconcerting, but it is not contagious and if you
don’t have it you won’t get it. The symptoms affect each person differently;
while one person may have small areas of patchy skin, others will have
patches all over the body. In any case, psoriasis has no cure but learning to
know if you have it or not is the first step in finding ways to prevent
breakouts.

Chapter 2:
Why Chose Home Remedies for Psoriasis?
There are a number of products and choices out there for sufferers of
psoriasis. There are store products, medication, or home remedies. Everyone
is different and not all things will work for everybody. Preferences are
different too while one person is fine with home remedies others prefer
doctor prescribed medications.
There are five main reasons why people chose home remedies over the other
choices. The first reason is home remedies are low cost and effective at the
same time. Not everyone wants to spend lots of money on medications and
creams when they can use products around the home they already have.
The second reason is there are no doctor’s visits. Not
everyone these days has health insurance and even with the
insurance a doctor’s visit can be pricy. There is not always
time to go to the doctor either, so home remedies also save
time.
The third reason is the amount of choices home remedies
give you. You can do things at home and in your own time
and you can chose which treatments work best for you. Some people will
simply lotion after showers and drink extra water. Other people will opt for
- 7 -
oatmeal bathes, wet wraps, or diet changes. There are many other treatments
to choose from.
The fourth reason is the fewer side effects with home remedies. Many
prescription medications and over the counter products come packed with
dangerous side effects. Home remedies are safer because they have little to
no side-effects. You want to find relief for psoriasis, not a whole load of
other medical issues.
The fifth reason is that there is nothing really to lose. You are in charge of
your own relief and creating your own remedy. Not many things can go
wrong and if they don’t work, you can always stop using them without
money being thrown out of your pocket.
Psoriasis is not fun to have and the outbreaks can be unbearable, but there
are things you can do to help alleviate the symptoms. Home remedies are a
cheap and easy way to find relieve.

Chapter 3:
Relieving the Symptoms of Psoriasis
If you suffer with psoriasis, you know it is the breakouts and the symptoms
that can drive you crazy. The itching, the sores, the weeping skin; it is all a
lot to bear. There is no cure for psoriasis, but there are some surefire things
to do to relive the symptoms.
The first thing to try is Omega-3 fatty acids, this is found is fish oil, among
other things. The best way to get fish oils is through capsule, they contain
the correct amount of fish oil necessary in each pill. Fish oils can help
autoimmune diseases as well as migraines, joint pains, and blood pressure
issues.
- 9 -
The second thing to try is a probiotic enzyme. These work to help you digest
food better and more efficiently. They also carry an anti-inflammatory
chemical which can really help with psoriasis outbreaks. The enzymes also
keep a healthy balance in the stomach and strengthen the immune system.
The third thing to try is olive leaf extract. Olive leaf
extract is a natural antibiotic and sometimes work even
better than traditional antibiotics. You can get olive
leaf extract from any health store. Start by taking 2-3 a
day for three months and then take 4 a day for one
month.
Olive leaf extract is an anti-microbial product. The
extract goes back many centuries. The extract will kill
most viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Olive leaf
extract has four main benefits. One is improving the
immune system and making it stronger. Two, it
controls the amount of bad bacteria, fungus, and
viruses in the system without destroying the good
stuff. Three, it raises energy levels so you feel more
motivated to do other things. Four, it lowers blood
pressure and reduces hypertension.
A fourth thing you can do to control symptoms of psoriasis is to eat
superfoods. Superfoods are those that are high in fiber, antioxidants, and are
100% organic. It takes only a cup of superfoods each day to increase energy
- 10 -
and metabolism. Superfoods are dark fruits which include blueberries, acai
berries, and dark cherries.
Although there is no known cure for psoriasis there are many things you can
do to naturally control the symptoms.

Chapter 4:
Beat Psoriasis the Natural way
Seeking relief from psoriasis can be a lifelong quest. You can search
everywhere for the perfect cure and never quite find it. There are plenty of
medications, creams, pastes, gels, and lotions out there, but they don’t
always work and they can be pricy. It gets time consuming and expensive to
dab a lotion all over the body two to three times a day or take a pill every
day. Most people just want something that is quick, simple, cheap, and
works.
There are actually some things you can start doing for yourself that might
help with psoriasis and slow down the onset of another outbreak. Things you
can change around the house or personally, that don’t cost you an extra cent.
- 12 -
In your home, try to find the perfect temperature. Flare-ups can be caused by
changes in the weather or temperatures in your own home. Going from one
extreme to the next is never a good thing. Slowly let your body adjusts to
warmer temperatures or colder ones. Too much sweat on the body, can lead
to irritation and itching which leads to scratching which can cause skin
injuries which will lead to flare ups. Most of the time is spent at home or in
the office, so make sure you have both places set at your perfect
temperature. It can take some time to find that temperature and other people
may have to adjust to it but it will help you in the long run. Temperature
control may be easier at home than it is at work.
Apply moisturizer often during the day. The
moisturizer should be of good quality and fragrance
free. Smelly lotion, the good scents, is a favorite
among women, but it can actually irritate the skin.
Avoid the pricy fruit smelling lotions and opt for one
that offers a good amount of moisture. Always
remember to lotion up after you shower or bath to
help keep that moisture locked in.
Switch to all-natural products. This means everything you use from hand
soap to makeup should be fragrant free and all natural. Look for products
that are hypoallergenic and are free and clear of irritants. Change your
laundry detergent to a free and clear type brand.

Chapter 5:
Home Remedies for psoriasis
Home remedies are the lowest cost treatments for dealing with psoriasis.
More often than not, they are all-natural cures and won’t harm you with
harsh side-effects. Not all results work for all people and it may take trying a
few different remedies to find one that works for you. Listed below are some
of the most popular home remedies available out there.
The first one is an easy one, but it’s often forgotten by psoriasis sufferers.
Moisturize, moisturize, and then moisturize again. It’s quick, it’s simple and
it only takes a few minutes each day. When the skin is dry and flaky, it can
crack and become damaged. It is important to keep the skin moisturize on
the outside and the inside. For the outside, use unscented lotions and for the
inside drink plenty of water each day. The more water you drink each day
the better hydrated the skin will be.
- 14 -
If the skin becomes too dry, take a bath or a shower. Or soak the dry,
patches of skin to help them fall of naturally and without harming the skin.
Use a mild soap that won’t irritate the skin or cause excessive dryness. Try
not to take too many long baths as that can remove precious oils from the
skin, oils needed to protect the skin from outside elements. You should also
put lotion immediately after bathing to lock in the moisture. Every bath or
shower should be done in lukewarm water, hot water will cause the skin to
itch and only cause further problems.
Wet wraps are another great home remedy. This treatment is often used right
after a bath or shower or at night before bed. After your bath or shower,
lotion the body as you normally would to keep in the moisture. Take some
ace bandages, or whatever is handy, and soak them in some lukewarm water.
Wrap the bandages around the problem areas like the elbows, knees, or
thighs. The wet wraps will keep the areas from flaring up or itching and will
keep the patchy areas from getting hard or infected.
There are many other things that can be done without spending loads of
money, a simple internet search or talking to your doctor will give you many
other ideas.

Chapter 6:
Having The Right Diet Meal for Psoriasis
Changing what you eat can make all the difference in the world, especially if
you have psoriasis. The body is filled with toxins from the air we breathe to
the food we eat. The best way to remove these toxins is through the urine
and not through the skin; this is especially important for sufferers of
psoriasis.
If you are diagnosed with psoriasis, it is best to change your eating habits as
soon as possible to alleviate the symptoms. Eating whole foods as opposed
to processed foods is a good start. You want to keep the toxins in the system
to a minimum and this can be done by eating organic produce instead of
- 16 -
produce grown using pesticides. If organic food is out of your reach, make
sure to at least to wash off fruits and vegetables well to remove all the
chemicals.
Raw is the best way to consume vegetables because they lose some nutrients
when cooked. Raw vegetables are higher in fiber and are easy for the
digestive system to process. Some foods that are easy for the digestive
system to process are beans, seafood, nuts, green, leafy vegetables, and fresh
fruit. The more fruit and vegetables that are in your diet the less likely you
are to develop allergies.
Fats are normally not great for your body, but they body does need a small
amount of fatty acids to properly function. Fatty acids play a part in
eliminating and reducing inflammation. Some of the best fatty acids you can
add to the diet are cold water fish, flaxseed, and green leafy vegetables.
- 17 -
High sodium food is not good for you and it can leave you dehydrated. Not
all salt is created equal. Switching out your refined salt with sea salt is more
natural, healthy choice. Natural sea salt will raise your energy, help relieve
the symptoms of allergies and rashes, protect against radiation, balance the
acid in the body, give you important minerals, add resistance to infection,
and replace lost electrolytes.
By simply changing what you eat, the body can take steps to naturally heal
itself and stay more healthy.

Chapter 7:
Use Colostrum to Help Cure Psoriasis
Psoriasis is overly dry, flaky skin. It is a disease that plaques thousands of
people each year and can be an embarrassment. The skin becomes covered
with dry, patchy, red skin and it’s not always pretty to look at. Psoriasis
sufferers are always looking for natural cures or some way to control the
outbreaks and the symptoms associated with the disease.
- 19 -
Colostrum is the first milk produced in the
mammary glands of every mammal right after
they give birth. This milk is a yellowish and
thick and that comes out in the first 24 hours, but
sometimes last a two or three days. This ‘first milk’
is important for young infants because it contains
vital minerals, vitamins, and antibodies
that ward off diseases until the immune system is
strong enough to fight on its own. Colostrum helps
the small bodies fight off the pollutants in the air
around them so they are not affected with autoimmune disease from the
start. The only side effect of Colostrum is it slows down the metabolism a
little and slows down the fat burning process of the body.
Colostrum only last a few days after the baby is born and doesn’t develop
until right after the birth. Babies get this through breastfeeding, but adults
can also benefit through supplements. All mammals produce Colostrum to
feed their young so it can be collected from cows, goats, or sheep that are
raised on farms.
Colostrum can help the body in a number of ways. It fights off harmful
bacteria and viruses. It slows down the burning of fat, but encourages lean
muscle mass to develop. Colostrum speeds up the healing process when you
get injured. It rejuvenates the skin and keeps it looking healthy. The intestine
will be healthier, helping to get rid of all the excess waste. Colostrum builds
healthy cartilage which keeps joints functioning smoothly. Finally,
Colostrum will work to reduce anxiety.
- 20 -
Finding Colostrum supplements can be done online or some health food
stores. The one thing to look for is the words “first milk” on the packaging.
The natural ingredients in the supplements will help heal the wounds of
psoriasis and help prevent future outbreaks.

Chapter 8:
Taking Care of The Skin to Avoid Psoriasis Flare-up
Psoriasis is not a fun issue to be living with. There is no known cure, but
there are many ways to take care of yourself to prevent outbreaks. Taking
care of your skin and being aware of your triggers are the first steps.
The first thing to do is to protect the skin from yourself. When you have an
itch, you subconsciously scratch it. When you are awake, it is easier to catch
yourself scratching. As strange as it sounds, wearing gloves to bed at night
can stop you from waking up with weeping wounds in the morning. If you
notice breakouts on your arms, wear clothing that makes it hard for nail on
skin contact. If you wear tank tops or loose short sleeves, it is too easy to get
to the scratch with your bare nails.
- 22 -
The leading problem with psoriasis is dry skin; if the skin is dry it becomes
itchy, dry, and scaly. It is one of the most overlooked triggers. Keeping the
skin moisturized is important to control flare-ups and keep psoriasis at bay.
Apply moisturizes after showers, bath, or spending a lot of time submerged
in water. Water actually sucks moisture from the skin, adding moisturizers
will lock in the moisture and keep the skin hydrated. If you feel an itch
coming on, trying adding some moisturizer to the area instead and see if that
helps. Wet wraps can help relieve some of the pain and inflammation
associated with psoriasis. Simply wet a wash cloth and place it on the sore
spot for a few minutes to feel instant relief.
Change up your diet and eat healthier. Fruits and vegetables added to your
diet will help keep your skin healthy. Eating healthy helps give the body
important nutrients and that carries all the way down to the skin. Fruits are
great for the skin and help fight off aging. Fatty acids like fish and some nuts
help lock moisture into the skin cells.
Keeping the skin in good, healthy condition will help prevent breakouts.
Moisturize and lotion on the skin on a regular basis to keep dry skin at bay.

Chapter 9:
Dealing with Psoriasis
Anyone who suffers from psoriasis knows the heartache and embarrassment
that goes along with the disease. Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes dry,
scaly itching, rashes, and large red wounds. The rash is not pretty and the
weepy wounds can be hard to cover up. The embarrassment can cause you to
feel uncomfortable in public and have you dressed from head to toe, even in
the hottest months of summer.
Psoriasis is nothing to be embarrassed about; it is a skin condition with no
cure. Though you should try to avoid scratching at all cost, it is not always
possible. Anytime you have unsightly wounds or rashes, going out in public
can be difficult, but it should not keep you indoors or hiding out.
- 24 -
Many times it may seem like you are the only person who suffers from
psoriasis. The truth is many other people feel the exact same way. Just as
you cover up your rashes, other people are out there doing the same thing.
The person in the chair next to you at work may suffer from psoriasis and
you would never know. There are many people out there who suffer
psoriasis and countless other skin problems. If it helps, you can join a local
support group with others just like you.
Leaving the comfort of your home and exposing your rashes can be difficult.
It’s easy to sit at home in shorts and t-shirt; you are used to the rashes and
patchy skin. However, hiding out in your house can just lead to more
problems. Feelings of anxiety or depression can sink in and that added stress
can actually cause the psoriasis to become even worse.
Stand up proud and tell people that you suffer from psoriasis. The rashes and
scars, from previous outbreaks, will most likely be noticeable so you might
as well stop the whispers and stares. Talking about the condition will also
help get the awareness out there. There may be people all around who suffer
from the same symptoms but never knew what they had. Talking about
psoriasis will empower you to take charge over the ailment instead of
allowing it to take charge over you.
