Homoeopathy for Psoriasis – A Holistic Healing Approach
At The Warrior Homoeopath, our approach to psoriasis is personalized and rooted in a careful evaluation of each patient’s total symptoms. Below are some broad-spectrum (polychrest) remedies commonly used in treatment:
Homoeopathic Remedies for Psoriasis
1. Sulphur
Recommended for intensely pruritic (itchy), red, and scaly lesions that worsen with heat, bathing, or sun exposure. Patients often experience an irresistible urge to scratch, which can aggravate symptoms further.
2. Graphites
Ideal for cases with thickened, darkened skin that has parchment-like dryness and sticky, oozing discharges. This remedy is particularly useful for psoriasis in flexural areas (such as elbows and knees) and is often linked to sluggish metabolism and digestive complaints.
3. Petroleum
Prescribed when psoriatic lesions are extremely dry, with hard, fissured scales that are slow to heal. Petroleum enhances skin hydration and improves the texture of persistent plaques.
4. Calcarea Carbonica
Beneficial for individuals with a sluggish metabolism, obesity, and sensitivity to cold. Psoriasis in these cases is marked by slow-healing, hard lesions. This remedy also addresses underlying fears and anxieties.
5. Arsenicum Album
Used for psoriasis that presents as dry, scaly patches with burning sensations. Patients often feel restless, anxious, and experience aggravation in cold, dry weather.
