Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a skin condition that causes red, scaly patches, commonly on elbows, knees, scalp and lower back, but can appear anywhere on the body. A common chronic disease, Psoriasis affects most people with small patches; in some cases, the patches can be itchy or sore.

Considered to be an immune system malfunction where skin cell production rapidly increases, the disease often tends to go through cycles, flaring for a few weeks or months, then subsiding for a while or going into remission.

It can start at any age but most often develops in adults, both men and women, under 35 years, and varies from person to person. Though genetics does play a role in causing this non-contagious disease, many people’s Psoriasis symptoms tend to start or worsen due to a specific event, known as a trigger. Possible triggers include injury to the skin, throat infections and use of certain medicines.

OUR APPROACH

Psoriasis, one of the most seen cases at our clinic, is widely believed to be incurable, which is why we begin the healing process with the mind - changing the patient's attitude towards the disease. Homeopathy offers non-steroidal medications with zero side effects and almost always a permanent solution for those suffering from Psoriasis.

While other treatments use abusive methods with harmful side effects, we promise to tackle the root of the problem, ensuring that the ailment is freed from its suppressive stage and entirely washed out from the body. The treatment promptly results in the successful formation of new skin follicles. Adopting the miasmatic and constitutional approach for all Psoriasis cases, our clinic applies a stringent step-by-step process to correct the altered sensorium of immunity. During the course of homeopathic treatment, the inflammation is never suppressed, which is why complications such as Psoriatic Arthritis never arise. Using this approach not only helps stop recurrent infections and inflammation but also keeps the joints from destruction or crippling. A strict dietary regime is also advised by our homeopaths as a good digestive system is very crucial to assist in the treatment.
