Have you found searching for the best treatment for psoriasis has left you with more questions than answers?
It did for me too. There are so many remedies for the condition floating around, finding one that works is a game of pure chance. I spent a lot of time looking for a way to cure my psoriasis, and tried lots of different remedies that weren't up to the task.
While it's fair to say some of the methods I tried did help improve the condition a little, it was frustrating that I couldn't make it go away completely. What finally did lead me to what turned out to be the best treatment for psoriasis I came across, because I did manage to become free of the problem, was understanding one key factor:
The problem isn't on the surface of the skin, and so you have to tackle it internally!
For too long I had been applying creams and ointments to no avail, and it was because the psoriasis rashes don't just appear on the skin from nowhere, they originate from inside and push their way to the surface. Because the rashes consists of a build up of excess skin cells, they sit on your skin waiting to die naturally and flake off.
To tackle the cause of this process, the best treatment for psoriasis has to address the reason why this build up of excess skin cells occurs. The basic theory behind it is that the immune system, for reasons not fully understood, starts to attack the skin cells. The body's natural response is to accelerate skin cell production to counter this.
Because there is no cure for the condition, the best treatment of psoriasis involves more preventative measures. These include eating a healthy balanced diet and avoiding processed food, reducing or stopping smoking and drinking alcohol, avoiding cold dry climates and identifying anything that appears to trigger an outbreak.
