Oregano oil and dmso
Steve in Santa, Cruz, CALF. USA -
I had gotten a white thick and reddish spot on my scalp and it spread over 1/3 my head. Never had a doctor look at it, but I tried several natural things but only got medium relief. But when I mixed 12 drops of organic oregano oil with a 1/2 tsp of DMSO and rubbed on my head and the rest of it over my chest and leg's so as the oil would be drawn into my whole body. Within days it cleared up 85% and after a couple of weeks it is 99% gone. I will continue to keep using it. Also worked for the finger nail fungus I had.

Extra Virgin Pure Coconut Oil
Faye in Benicia, Ca -The Coconut Oil is supposed to work the best, but I couldn't get past the awful smell. Who wants to go around smelling like old lard?!
Anyway, I have suffered with it for YEARS and the ONLY thing that has worked is Coconut Oil Liquid Soap. It also comes in bars, but I don't use bar soap in my home anymore. (I don't like to clean soap scum, and liquid soap doesn't leave a residue). Anyway, I haven't had it return at all since I got rid of it. I had it on my hands mostly, so I keep some at all sinks and basins. The BEST I have found is from www.tropicaltraditions.com. It really works!!!

Baking Soda Bath
Jenaia Thurber in Salem, Oregon -
Hello,
I've had psoriasis since I was 11 or 10 years old and I'm now 23. I may not have all the right answers but I can tell you what I've learned from my mistakes and what has worked for me. My parents tried just about everything for my case even ultra-violet lights which I found out could cause cancer so I refused to keep doing that and started doing things to help me more naturaly in ways to help my flare ups to not be so bad.
First off let me talk about diet. I had a sister-in-law who had some skin issues and encourged me to try it to see if it worked. Basically what this diet consists is hardly any sugar at all meaning per a serving you want anything less 20 grams of prossesed sugar. I tried this for a full month and let me tell you my psoriasis did start to go away within that 1 month peroid but I have a weakness I love sugar! And I almost forgot to say that this diet also had you avoid bread as well.
Now on to round 2 on my list. If I was having a inflamation I would take olive oil baths for 3 years at least and this actually helps on a few things. It helps with burning and helped with dryness.
thirdly now this is just something recently just started doing and I'm finding its actaully helping alot. My husband and I went and visited his uncle and aunt who are very much into natural things. I was talking to my husband's uncle of how I had psoriasis and he told me to try this. Is cover my body parts that has psoriasis with baking soda and do this twice a day after doing this take a back and scrub the areas that have psoriasis and after you get out of the shower rub on corn starch over you skin. He told me that the corn starch will take out the burn and soften the skin. I have found to be true after I take my baths and my skin is red and buring I place it on the area and it takes the burn right out. I also have added my own little step which is rub my body down with olive oil first then the corn starch and it makes my skin so smooth and soft.
Well I hope this helps!

100% Unrefined Shea Butter
D. in Kansas -In April of this year I started to notice flakes and overall dryness on my scalp. I am african american with relaxed hair so I started washing my hair twice a week instead of my normal 1 time per week hoping this would solve the issue; however, the condition got worse and worse. I went to the dermatologist in June who told me I had Psoriasis. He had me do a few routine blood tests but did not take a sample from my scalp. He prescribed Clobex Shampoo for the flakes and Diprolene for the itch. 2 months later I still have Psoriasis ( I think) but I now have a lot less hair than I did in June. I don't know if it was the shampoo, the diprolene or the overall dryness of my hair and scalp that caused me to lose so much hair. I now have to wear extension to cover up the thinned out patches but THANK GOD FOR EXTENSIONS.
Anyway, I decided to take my health in my own hands and searched for a natural cure for Psorias. I found many articles on the web and at the begining of August I purchased 100% Pure Unrefined Shea Butter and began to put this on my hair and scalp every night. I noticed an immediate difference in my hair and scalp. My scalp no longer itches and I do not see any hint of redness or irritation. The Shea Butter is all natural and has been know as a "natural healer" in Africa for 100's of years. I can also report that I now wash my hair once a week instead of twice a week. I still have a few flakes but I would say after 3 weeks of using Shea Butter I am feeling really great about this remedy.

BLISTEX
Tammy Bandy in Bulpitt, Il USA -I have been fighting Psoriasis for about 5 years now. I have it on the bottoms of my feet and the palm of my hands. I have used all kinds of creams and lotions. I have soaked my feet in everything from salt to bleach. I even got the very painfull shots from the doctor ( which I do not recommend to anyone). Then finally my mother-in-law had a coworker tell about how she controlls her's with medicaded blistex .97 cent stick of blistex. MIRICLE it worked. Kept it away for 1 year now. When I get a flair up I just smear some on before I go to bed and by morning it is gone. Save your self time, pain and money try it.

Walmart lotion
Douglas in KY -I have a terrible case of psoraisis and have had it for 35 years. As I have gotten older, mine has gotten worse. Tried Enbrel, got NHL--Lymphoma cancer. Cancer is gone, but psoraisis still with me. The only lotion that I can find that will keep the lesions soft is the Walmart Equate in the pump bottle. It is fragrance-free. I totally cover myself after a shower and it keeps my places moist and soft all day at work. Sunlight and tanning provides a cosmetic help and lessens the redness of the lesions.
The Walmart lotion, however, really keeps my places from getting thick, hard, and from cracking to the point of bleeding.

Hemp lotion, seed, milk...anything hemp.
Stephannie in La Grande, OR USA -
My husband was born with super bad psoriasis and has tried every thing in the book. I'm sure a very restrictive diet might work but he wont stick to it. One thing that we were recommended was Hemp lotion-It's been a miracle. Drinking hemp milk is good also and putting hemp seed in food is great. Hemp seed tastes kinda nutty-it's good. You can also just eat a tbsp of it and it'll help. Any omega fats help but hemp seems to get rid of my husbands really well. We also have hemp body wash, shampoo and conditioner.

Psoriasis Help
Jake in Kentucky -I had an outbreak of Guttate psoriasis when I was 20 years old. I had no idea then what it was, but from being outside all the time and fishing, it went away on its own. Forward 20 years. Minor spots here and there over the years, but nothing major and then BAM! I had strep throat and broke out all over. Head to Foot with pink spots. Bad this time and much worse than before. Tried all the home remedies and nothing worked. Until I tried this...Vanos cream. It made the spots less and got rid of some. When I stopped using it, it would come back with a vengance. Repeated sunlight and warm weather has helped a lot on the extremeties. UVB treatments worked a little bit at the dermo. But it would still come back.
30 day colon cleanse, milk thistle and taking an intestinal bacteria supplement has all but eliminated the outbreak, save some minor spots that are light, within the first two weeks of the cleanse.
Lots of water! Drinking alcohol makes mine worse, so limit the intake of something that makes your system more toxic. Good luck and it takes hard, consistent focus to find what works for you!

Happiness
Manar in Columbia, South Carolina -Dearest all,
I read your reviews with pleasure, because I have had psoriasis since I was 16, now I am 27, it never left me,, all doctors did not know what to prescribe me,, some said,, get away from stress, others gave me antibiotics which did nothing.. I am a hyber-sensitive person..skin wise and emotion wise.. I am so sad I waste time thinking about my scalp or scratching it alot,, I run to cold shower water to escape this, but then the crust builds more, the pain increases.. I used organic oils, vinger, non chemical shampoos, scalp creams, coal tar,, but when I am not stressed and happy, it gets so better and calm.
I do not have an actual remedy but really need your advice, anything that worked well with you.. I reached the stage where hair falls from the place of the spots,, blood sometimes, and less hair, but it is always painful..
Thanks for sharing and for this wonderful website,
blessings
