Psoriasis

Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a skin condition caused by the rapid production of the skin cells, resulting in pink, raised patches of skin with white scales. Areas of the body commonly affected include the elbows, knees, and scalp, but psoriasis can appear on almost any part of the body.

The cause is unknown, but genetics seems to play a role. Other factors contributing to psoriasis include emotional stress, infection, smoking, and an immune response to a disease. Light-skinned people are more at risk. Also, the joints can be affected, causing psoriatic arthritis.

There are several natural supplements that can help with psoriasis. Consult with your healthcare provider to see which of the following supplements may be appropriate for you.
