2 Herbs That Soothe Psoriasis When Assassin Cells Attack

Psoriasis does not make sense to us all. From the name itself, many dislike and many do not like to retain that word in their memory. For them that sickness means dirt, high profile dirt for there is no specific cure found until this time. This time, psoriasis is on the rise abroad. I am so thankful for in our city having 2 million populations, no report found sick of psoriasis. I do not know if our health centers and the Department of Health (DOH) have accurate data on psoriasis victims.  Psoriasis is a condition that causes red, dry, itchy, patches of thickened skin. It usually appears on the elbows, knees, lower back, hands, face and scalp. But I’ve seen plaque psoriasis just about everywhere on the body. There are more and more patients that rise abroad, in fact, the husband of my niece working as a nurse in UK has psoriasis and this frustrates him because the hospital where he works recommended him to stay at home temporarily. This sickness is a menace to their marriage because he is banned to work in the hospital for the patients for though this is not contagious, but once a person is in stress, the red color of his skin expands as if so alive. This time he is back to work and he is only suggested to wear thick long sleeves.

One main cause of psoriasis is hereditary in nature. The husband of my niece has grandparents sick of psoriasis and it attacks to the third generation and the husband of my niece is now in the third generation, so history repeats itself. Two decades ago, psoriasis was considered a skin disease. But today we know that it’s actually an auto immune disorder that affects million people around the globe. Researchers and international doctors confirmed that this disease psoriasis is auto immune and psoriasis also rose up anywhere in the world.

Psoriasis turns itself and starts to attack its own tissue. That is the explanation of autoimmune disorder like psoriasis. With psoriasis, the immune system mistakenly detects the skin as a foreign invader. White blood cells called T-cells go into attack mode, like little assassins. They trigger your skin to start developing new skin cells every three or four days, instead of the normal 28 days. These new cells push up to the surface of the skin and die there. The dead cells start building up in rough patches called plaques. Psoriasis can flare-up and retreat over and over again. Some cases can be mildly annoying. But others are so painful and so disgusting to the person sick of psoriasis. This is indeed a very bad sickness.Your friends surely like to stay away from you thinking you tell a lie as non-contagious disease, which is wrong for it is non-contagious.

There are herbs that soothe psoriasis . Try to know them and introduce these soothing herbs to people sick of psoriasis. After sending this blog, I would call my niece in UK, so her husband can have a chance to be psoriasis free.

These are the following herbs namely:

1. Oregon grape. This is actually an evergreen plant not grape doctor said. It contains an alkaloid called berberine that combats the inflammatory response in your body. It also slows down the overproduction of skin cells. I thought this grape is sole produced in Oregon, United States, and LOL.
2. Turmeric. This root contains a potent compound called curcumin with incredible anti-inflammatory powers. And it seems there is nothing this wonder spice cannot do.

Curcumin is great for psoriasis sufferers and it has proven to have immunomodulatory properties. That means it can help regulate inappropriate immune responses in people with autoimmune diseases like psoriasis. The recommendations of the medical doctors abroad is to look for curcumin supplement that contains 90 % curcuminoids and choose the one that has black pepper extract.

Good luck guys. May your psoriasis say good bye to you after taking curcumin.
