Turmeric for Psoriasis  

Many people believe that one of the best natural remedies for Psoriasis is Turmeric. Psoriasis is a skin condition in which the skin gets dry, flaky and patched. Its exact cause is not unknown although it is thought to be hereditary. There are other factors that are believed to aggravate it such as stress, infection, illness and certain medications.

Turmeric is a spice that has been used for many years to treat various diseases. Experts have identified its active ingredient, curcumin, as being responsible for treating or reducing symptoms related not only to Psoriasis but also to asthma, arthritis and allergies. It has strong anti-inflammatory properties which makes it a good natural remedy for Psoriasis.

You can buy at your local health food store tablet or tincture form of Turmeric. Psoriasis symptoms can be relieved when it is taken continuously for several weeks. There are two types of Turmeric in tincture form – water and alcohol based. It is believed that some Turmeric tinctures are mixed with alcohol so that the body can absorb it better. The recommended dosage is 30 to 40 drops of the tincture in an ounce of water. This is to be taken three times a day.

Turmeric can also be taken in tablet form. If you will be taking Turmeric tablets, make sure to get the one that contains 95 percent curcuminoides.  You will be able to see this on the label. Each tablet should be 450 mg. It is advisable to take one tablet per day. You can also try crushing the tablet and mixing it with fatty food, yogurt or a teaspoon of oil for better absorption. If it is only a small area that is affected by Psoriasis, you can instead buy Turmeric ointment and apply it topically.

It is important to keep in mind that the doses of Turmeric found in food are not the same as therapeutic doses. Aside from that, dishes usually contain only a small amount of Turmeric. Psoriasis symptoms are thought to be treated only when the amount of Turmeric taken is at 1 to 2 teaspoons per day. Psoriasis treatment with the use of Turmeric should be continuously used for 3 to 4 weeks in order to feel its effect. After the said time, the area of the skin that is affected by Psoriasis should have improved.
