Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that causes thick, scaly patches, often on the scalp, elbows, knees and back. It tends to come and go in flare-ups, and because it is linked to the immune system, surface treatments alone rarely give lasting control. This is where a root-cause approach helps.
Understanding Psoriasis
Psoriasis occurs when skin cells multiply too fast, building up into scaly patches. It is not contagious. Flare-ups are often triggered by stress, infections, weather or injury to the skin.
Symptoms of Psoriasis
- Scaly, silvery patches on the skin
- Itching or burning
- Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
- Patches on scalp, elbows, knees and back
- Flare-ups that come and go
The Homeopathic Approach to Psoriasis
Homeopathy treats psoriasis by addressing the internal tendency and immune sensitivity, aiming to reduce flare-ups and improve skin over time. Treatment is patient and personalised. See our psoriasis treatment page and general skin diseases care.
