5 Excellent Psoriasis Natural Treatments Home Remedies
Psoriasis natural treatments home remedies has become very popular in recent times because of its ease of use, readily availability, either through health shops, or online, and its natural aspect.
According to recent studies, 125 million people worldwide suffer from psoriasis, that’s about 2% to 3% of the world population. If this skin disease is neither serious nor contagious, it is difficult to live with every day. Fortunately, there are remedies that can reduce the symptoms of psoriasis. But first of all…
What is psoriasis?
“Plaque” psoriasis (which accounts for 80% of cases) is an inflammatory disease of the skin; the cause being an abnormally rapid cell turnover. While the cells of the skin normally have a life span of 28 days (on average), in people who suffer from psoriasis, this delay does not exceed 7 days … A phenomenon that has genetic origins: it corresponds to a “bad programming” of the immune system.
Result, lesions appear on the surface of the skin; visually, it is well defined red plaques and covered with dead white skin, dander. These lesions are localized; most often, they are located at the level of the scalp, the elbows, the lumbar region and the knees. And if they are sometimes painful, in general, they scratch terribly.
Psoriasis is a disease that evolves by recurrent “thrusts”, interspersed with phases of remission. If this affection is not contagious, it is (to this day) impossible to treat in a definitive way and it can have real social and psychological consequences.
Psoriasis natural treatments home remedies
In combination with other more “traditional” treatments, whether local (corticosteroid, spa treatments …) or systemic (subcutaneous injections, intravenous infusions …), essential oils can really improve well-being of the patient. And that in addition to a sensible daily diet will do wonders.
First of all, watch the video below that was recorded by Nicholas Lamborghini (not related to the luxury car manufacturer). This friendly young guy shows us how he succeeded to get rid of his psoriasis naturally, after everything else failed. Watch the video completely and be amazed…
Below, I am listing a few essential oils that you can easily find on Amazon by making a search in the search box at the top right side of this page, and which you can use at home.
Do make sure though that you establish the type of psoriasis you are dealing with and of course pay close attention to warnings and instructions for use.
To calm inflammation
The most effective of all is the essential oil of tea tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia): in 2012, an American study has also shown that its main component, a molecule called Terpinen-4-ol, could reduce visibly redness.
Powerful anti-inflammatory, one can use in dermal application in pregnant women over 5 months and in children over 3 years, by diluting in a vegetable oil.
Instructions for use: If the area to treat is small, apply 3 to 4 drops locally, 2 to 3 times a day, for 2 to 3 weeks.
Anti-inflammatory and healing, the essential oil of rosemary Verbenone (Rosmarinus officinalis CT Verbenone) as a recommendation in cases of acne, psoriasis or eczema. Forbidden to pregnant women, nursing mothers, babies and children up to 7 years. On a large surface, you will have to dilute it to 20% in a vegetable oil before applying it dermally.
Instructions for use: if the area to treat is small, apply 2 drops locally, 2 to 3 times a day, for 3 weeks.
Juniperus communis essential oil also contains Terpinen-4-ol, the famous anti-inflammatory molecule, but also Alpha-pinene, an antiseptic molecule. Avoid in pregnant and lactating women as well as in children under 3 years; to dilute in a vegetable oil before dermal application.
Instructions for use: dilute 3 drops in 20 drops of borage or evening primrose oil, and apply locally.
To soothe itching
The essential oil of lavender (Lavandula Officinalis) is very well tolerated by children (from 3 months). Rich in Linalol (a molecule that participates in the regeneration of the skin), it calms the itching and facilitates healing. Prohibited pregnant women under 3 months.
Instructions for use: if the area is small, apply 2 drops pure, to renew as many times as necessary. If the area is larger, prepare a bath with lavender essential oil, mixing 15 drops in 4 tbsp. of milk, to dilute in warm water.
To prevent crises
Stress and anxiety are two psychological factors that can trigger psoriasis flares. However, these are not the only ones.
Calming and relaxing, the essential oil of Roman chamomile (Chamaemelum Nobile) acts on the nervous system. It also has an anti-inflammatory action. Must have! Prohibited for pregnant women under 3 months.
Instructions for use: in case of acute anxiety, drop 1 pure drop under the tongue, to renew every 15 minutes approximately. Otherwise, under stress, breathe deeply into the bottle or use a diffuser of essential oils.
An effective recipe with essential oils
In an empty bottle, mix 20 drops of essential oil of Roman chamomile + 20 drops of essential oil of true lavender + 40 drops of essential oil of tea tree + 80 drops of vegetable oil of argan.
In cutaneous application, gently deposit 4 to 8 drops of your synergy of essential oils on your psoriasis (skin or scalp). You can renew the application 2 to 3 times a day. Not recommended for pregnant and lactating women, and children under 6 years.

Hey John, thanks for sharing! My hubby has a rare skin condition called Erytherokedermia Varabillis that is similar to psoriasis. I like to try new treatments on his skin. Brown sugar scrubs and honey with natural vanilla extract work really well for exfoliating and softening the skin.
Also love Shea Moisture lotions which are natural too. One in particular called ‘Black Soap Lotion‘ works really well too.
Thanks for your comment Marlinda. It sometimes take some testing to find what works best for us as each one of us react differently. I am glad that your husband is finding a relief with SheaMoisture African Black Soap Lotion, I must say, I have heard a lot of good coming out of it.
I wish you and your hubby a very healthy life.
