What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is described as an autoimmune condition that leads to the rapid growth of skin cells, resulting in thick, red, scaly patches on the skin’s surface. These patches can be itchy and sometimes painful. The condition can affect various areas of the body, including the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. Psoriasis flare-ups can be triggered by stress, infections, injuries, or certain medications. These symptoms tend to get worse when it gets colder due to the air’s lack of moisture and reduced exposure to sunlight.
Dr. John Pagano, author of Healing Psoriasis, states “What one sees on the outside is the physical evidence of something happening inside the body. One can treat outside, but the disease will keep coming back again and again, month after month, year after year, until the patient has exhausted all available avenues of relief. Is it possible for a victim to be free from a lifetime of pain…? The answer is an unequivocal yes!”
The Intestinal Connection
According to theories advanced by Cayce, the source is found in the intestinal tract. For psoriasis to occur, the walls in certain areas of the intestinal tract must become thin and porous. When this happens, toxic substances that should normally pass through the intestines and eventually be eliminated by the body seep through these walls, enter the lymphatic system and invade the bloodstream, also known as leaky gut. It may take some time, but sooner or later the accumulation of toxins will prove to be more than the (liver and kidney) organs can effectively handle.” Dr. John Pagano, Healing Psoriasis.

American Saffron Tea
American Saffron (Carthamus tinctorius) is known for its traditional herbal benefits, including its anti-inflammatory and skin-soothing properties. When taken as a soothing cup of tea, American Saffron contains compounds that may help reduce inflammation, which can be beneficial for managing psoriasis flare-ups. Its herbal properties are known to be beneficial as a kidney and liver flush and for its cleansing support of the intestinal tract.*
Slippery Elm Bark Powder
Slippery elm (Ulmus rubra) has a rich history in herbal medicine, particularly in both Native American and traditional Chinese practices. The inner bark is known for its soothing properties, primarily due to its high mucilage content, which can help coat and protect mucous membranes. It is also known for soothing gastrointestinal irritation and providing relief for inflammation.*

Other Things to Keep in Mind in Dealing with Psoriasis
Managing psoriasis can be simpler than you might expect. There are several lifestyle changes you can adopt to help reduce the frustration and pain of flare-ups. Staying hydrated and making smart food choices are key. During the winter months, it’s common to stay indoors and stray from a nutritious diet, so try to limit processed foods and drink plenty of water. Additionally, wearing soft, breathable fabrics, taking a warm bath with soothing oils, and using a humidifier in your home can help soothe and hydrate your skin. Always consult a healthcare provider for the best treatment options tailored to your needs.
