14 Juice Recipes for Treating Psoriasis
Our skin faces lots of challenges that may result from environmental factors, unmindful eating, and lifestyle—and one of the ensuing conditions could be Psoriasis.
Having dry, cracked or scaly skin is indicative that you have this type of skin disorder. However, some signs may appear like red patches, burning sensation or sore skin areas; thick, ridged or pitted nails and there are instances when joints get swollen or stiff.
Psoriasis develops as the immune system’s T cells become overactive and mistakingly attack other cells in the body. This can be due to dry and cold weather, stress, infections, skin trauma, as well as smoking and alcohol. Symptoms can also be aggravated by some medications used for treating malaria, bipolar disorder and some beta-blockers.
This skin issue can be treated by topical ointments, steroidal creams, medicated shampoos, and retinoid preparations. Alongside these topicals, lifestyle change, healthy food and drinks are crucial in easing up the condition.
