Homeopathy and Homeopathic remedies, an answer to the incurable psoriasis
Researches have evidently proved that psoriatic patients experienced a momentous improvement in their disease manifestation as well as the quality of their lives after taking Homeopathic treatment.
Psoriasis, an auto-immune inflammatory disorder primarily affecting the skin has been classified into basic five types as plaque, guttate, inverse, pustular and erythrodermic. The disease is marked by silvery white scaly patches appearing in the epidermal layer of the skin. Lesions commonly appear in the skin above the elbow and knees but may appear anywhere on the body. It is a chronic disorder marked with a tendency to recur at regular period of intervals.
Causes of psoriasis are stiff unknown but in many cases there have been evidences of genetic predispositions. However, there are many triggers which are known to aggravate the prevailing psoriatic conditions thereby making it a challenging condition to be treated.
Major stressor causes include:
- Stress
- Cold Climatic Condition
- Discontinuing certain medicines like corticosteroids
- Injury
Flaring up of the disease can be brought about by injury to the skin known as Koebner Phenomena. Psoriasis may affect the joint and cause severe forms of arthropathies known as psoriatic arthropathy or psoriatic arthritis.
Homeopathy believes that psoriasis is an immune mediated condition brought about by faulty signals sent in the body’s immune system. Therefore, Homeopathy works to stabilize the anomalous immune system. Homeopathic medicines arouse the body’s own healing abilities by restoring the balance of the immune system and decreasing the person’s susceptibility towards a trigger agent that aggravates the disease.
The duration of Homeopathic treatment varies from case to case depending on the following factors:
- Time duration of psoriatic affection
- Parts of the body affected
- Extent of spread of the lesions
- Any previous medications taken like steroids
- General health and associated diseases
