Home Remedies for Psoriasis

 


Lay It on Thick

Lay It on Thick

1/14

Looking for a way to ditch the itch? A heavy cream can be the answer. Try petroleum jelly or another thick moisturizer. It locks water into your skin to help it heal and reduce the redness.

Apple Cider Vinegar for Your Scalp

Apple Cider Vinegar for Your Scalp

2/14

Apple Cider Vinegar is more than just a salad dressing. Put some on your head a few times a week -- either full strength or mixed with water. It's a recipe for relief when your scalp calls out "scratch me."

Rinse it off after it dries so you won't get an irritation. And don't try this when your scalp is bleeding or cracked. The vinegar will make it feel like it's burning.

Get a Little Sun

Get a Little Sun

3/14

Spend some time in the great outdoors. The sun's ultraviolet B rays can help fight your psoriasis.

Stick to 5 or 10 minutes a day, and use sunscreen on spots without psoriasis. Too much sun can raise your risk of skin cancer.

"Season" Your Bath

"Season" Your Bath

4/14

Want to shed some scales and soothe your skin? Put Dead Sea or Epsom salts into a tub with warm water. Soak for about 15 minutes, and use a moisturizer when you're done to seal in the water.

Capsaicin

Capsaicin

5/14

Capsaicin the ingredient that makes chili peppers hot, and it's got a place in your bag of tricks.  Researchers say it can cut pain, inflammation, and redness. You'll find it in over-the-counter creams.

But ... Some people say it gives them a burning feeling when they put it on their skin.

Turmeric

Turmeric

6/14

You might know tumeric as the yellow herb that shows up in foods with a curry sauce. Studies show it may cut down your psoriasis flare-ups. You can try it as an ingredient in your meals or as a supplement.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea Tree Oil

7/14

It comes from a plant that's native to Australia, but you don't have to go that far to get relief. Shampoos with this ingredient may help psoriasis on your scalp, though more research is needed.

Soak in Oats

Soak in Oats

8/14

It's a natural way to soothe your skin. Put some ground-up oats in your bath, sit back, and relax. Just make sure the water is warm, not hot, so you don't irritate your skin.

Meditation and Yoga

Meditation and Yoga

9/14

Cut down your stress to shake off your symptoms. Meditation can help you take your psoriasis in stride. Yoga is especially helpful if you have psoriatic arthritis, too, because it eases joint pain and expands your range of motion.

Wrap It Up!

Wrap It Up!

10/14

Put cream on your skin at bedtime and cover the area with plastic wrap. Then add a layer of tight clothing -- like gloves or socks. The idea is to seal the moisturizer in while you sleep and let your skin absorb it.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

Omega-3 Fatty Acids

11/14

Omega-3 fatty acids fights inflammation, and you can find them in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, tuna, and sardines. You can also buy fish oil supplements.

How much they help with psoriasis isn't so clear. Studies have mixed results, so get your doctor's advice.

Oregon Grape

Oregon Grape

12/14

The name's a little misleading: It's really an evergreen plant. The formal name is Mahonia aquifolium. Look for creams where it's 10% of the ingredients. It's shown some promise in studies.

Mediterranean Diet

Mediterranean Diet

13/14

This eating plan puts the focus on fish, veggies and fruits, and whole grains. A small study shows it might tone down your symptoms.

Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera

14/14

Studies suggest this plant can improve psoriasis. Aloe vera is anti-inflammatory and helps decrease redness. Use unscented gel or cream with 0.5% in it on your skin.

Steer clear of tablets. There's no evidence that they help.
