Popular recipes

Activated carbon
I would like to start the presentation with effective ways that are in almost every home medicine Cabinet. This activated carbon. With this inexpensive drug could even localized pustular psoriasis.

A remedy is prepared in the following sequence: activated charcoal tablets are crushed to a powder and dissolve in water. The number of tablets is easy to determine by the formula: 1 piece / 10 kg of weight. Drink part you need before eating (1,5 -2 hours). This course therapy designed for 45 days.

Important! In this form of treatment you need to follow a diet diet and not to consume alcohol.

Baking soda

The sodium bicarbonate is present in many folk recipes. Unlike pharmaceutical remedies, it is absolutely harmless and gives good results for exterior use: quickly relieves signs of inflammation that is observed in psoriasis, and softens the skin. There are three ways to use baking soda:

1. Solution standard concentration (2 teaspoons per 200 ml) are treated in the affected areas.
2. You can make soda lotions from thick powder mix with water. In the resulting composition need to dip a cotton ball or gauze, and then applied in turn to the damaged areas of the skin.
3. Hot soda compress also helps to deal with inflammation. After the first procedure decreases the intensity of the rash, the inflammation subsides. This method is used for preparing a liquid solution of such a temperature as not to cause a burn. In solution, moisten the cloth and apply to the trouble areas. The compress should cool completely.

Another unique recipe with the participation of regular soda. This tool has a more complex structure, because for its production need the following ingredients:

• yolks of egg – 3 PCs.;
• fat chicken – 1 Cup;
• tar – 2 tbsp;
• soap – 2n art.;

Grease

This is probably one of the most popular agents used in psoriasis. In fact, grease is a technical lubricant which is prepared from fatty acids and calcium Soaps. The composition produced by condensing, with the result that he becomes a little viscous and the consistency of ordinary cream. But, if drugstore remedies are easily washed from the skin surface, the grease is removed with difficulty. Distinguished by its specific smell.

Of course, the treatment for better to use a pharmaceutical preparation. But due to the fact that in its pure form pharmacy grease is almost rare, it is very difficult to acquire. However the pharmaceutical industry is a whole range of special ointments designed for the treatment of psoriasis, but their effectiveness is questionable. So people's doctors to get the actual result, suggest to use pure grease, preferably pharmacy. The fact that the production of technical grades in the composition add a variety of brush heads and this can result in an allergic reaction. It follows that after all it makes more sense to use a medical drug.

Dignity solidol

Grease is used dozens of years for the treatment of severe forms of psoriasis. During this long period he has demonstrated time and again great results. The advantages of this simple means should be considered the following qualities:

• easy to use;
• low cost;

It is prepared according to this recipe: grease (300 g) must first be mixed with two egg whites, add to the mixture a tablespoon of honey (preferably lime) and herbs celandine.

If the time parameter is equal to hour, you can go to night compresses with grease. Of course, this is an option with good tolerability means.

Therapeutic baths

When large areas of the lesions with psoriasis significantly facilitate the condition of patients a warm bath. Water treatments have a calming effect, relieves itching and promotes rapid healing of damaged areas. With special tools for therapeutic baths is not required, because many of them are in every home.

It is very important to comply with regular procedures. It is better to use sea salt, which is sold in pharmacies. For one procedure is necessary in a warm water bath to dissolve 1 kg of salt, and completely submerge the body.
2. Turpentine baths well heated, resulting in enhanced blood circulation. The multiplicity of procedures, 2 times per week period of time. It is recommended to use the pharmacy turpentine. The medium is poured into heated to 36 degree water. After five minutes the water temperature should be raised to 40. After healing baths you need a couple of hours to relax in bed, warmly covered. Important point: Before the procedure should be treated with vaseline on the genital area, anal area, and open sores.
3. Bath starch is recommended for children and elderly patients. For the procedure, you can use any type of product: potato, rice, and other varieties of starch. After a bath to rinse off the composition from the body is not necessary.
4. Soda baths are similar to the other methods. Treatments increase peeling on the skin, which indicates the beginning of recovery. To slightly reduce the dry skin, after bath it is recommended to apply on the body olive oil. Itch and other negative symptoms subside after the first procedures, and positive results were observed after a few weeks of treatment.
5. Bath with pine extract stimulate the regeneration and strengthen the capacity of the immune forces of the body.
