Unrefined oils in psoriasis treatment.

Natural medications for psoriasis, eczema, atopic dermatitis and other problems.

If you suffer from psoriasis, you have probably tested out numerous treatment means ranging from steroid ointments, which provide very strong effects (however when you stop taking them psoriasis in most cases returns but with stronger negative effects), through vitamin A, and ending with products with salicylic acid and UV irradiation. The duration of such therapies and their effects are various.

If you are reading this text, probably none of such medications has proved to be sufficiently effective.

There is a method. You need to take care of your body from the outside but also from the inside. In spite of concentrating how to remove temporarily surface effects of the disease, you should help the body combat the disease by itself.

Alleviating symptoms, that is external methods of therapy in psoriasis.

Research on the properties of coconut oil show that this is the best product for psoriasis treatment. It turns out to be a wonderful product. It contains lauric acid, which appears also in breast milk and is used to enhance the immunity of the infant. The composition of coconut milk is very similar to the composition of human plasma. All the above mentioned aspects make coconut oil the safest product both for consumption as for external application. It enhances not only psoriasis therapy but it turns out to be effective in case of many other skin diseases such as: eczema, mycosis, atopic dermatitis, acne, burns, decubitus ulcers and other wounds difficult to be healed. Coconut oil protects, softens and moisturizes the skin, and simultaneously it is very well absorbed and has a lovely smell. It contains vitamins A E B C as well as B group vitamins, microelements, microelements, and amino acids. It is abundant in antioxidants. It demonstrates antiseptic, antibacterial and soothing effects. Coconut oil brings a relief, does not cause allergy and it is in 100% safe. You may rub it gently or alternatively used as compresses (we soak sterile gauze with coconut oil and we place it on pathological changes). Such compress will soften dead cells and it will cause its natural exfoliation. In order to obtain even better results, it is recommended to use, apart from coconut oil, also some oil containing necessary unsaturated fatty acids – in particular linolenic acid – omega 3. Linseed oil contains event up to 63 % of omega 3 acid, whereas, cannabis oil contains 20% of omega 3 oil and vitamins K, E and A. Additionally, Ph value of the skin is important. Due to the facts that all infections develop perfectly in acid environment, we shall focus on creating alkaline environment consuming baking soda, or apple cider vinegar. Remember, however, that apple cider vinegar in spite of the fact that it is a natural product, alleviating itching and burning sensations, it may not be used on cracked skin.

An exemplary remedy for psoriatic lesions treating:

• Coconut oil (2-3 spoonfuls)
• linseed or cannabis oil (1 spoonful)
• baking soda (1 spoonful)

We mix ingredients together and place them on affected areas. We may apply the remedy even several times a day on hairless skin, it absorbs very well, and any potential remains after soda may be gently brushed down after oils get absorbed. Oil masks may be placed also on the scalp and hair, we keep it possibly long (not less than 20-30 minutes) and subsequently we wash it down with a gentle shampoo. Already after several such applications we will notice the improvement in the scalp condition, and consequently, hair condition will improve as well getting soft, shiny and strengthened.

Nurturing the body from the inside.

The diet of the person with psoriasis is of extreme importance. It shall be as little processed as possible as much natural as possible. You should reduce the consumption of sugar, coffee and alcohol. Focus on deacification of the body also from the inside, as the acidic environment facilitates considerably the development of diseases (any). You should introduce into your diet a considerable amount of alkalizing foods (green leafy vegetables and fruit) as well as drink water with lemon, or apple cider vinegar. For example, add three tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to a glass of water and drink such a mixture 2-3 times a day, especially in periods when psoriasis is very active. It is best to prepare apple cider vinegar on your own, the recipe is trivially easy, and benefits of the consumption of such remedy are numerous.

Psoriasis may be caused by so called leaky gut syndrome. The above mentioned problem occurs when the parasitic fungus of Candida albicans yeast family excessively populates our digestive tract. In healthy body Candida are controlled by useful microorganisms – such “good bacteria”. Unfortunately, they may be easily killed by antibiotics, contraception drugs, inadequate diet (alcohol, sweets), stress… Then Candida gets out of control and proliferates entailing the occurrence of disease focal points and resulting in, among others, psoriasis, ulcers and mycosis. It is not easy to get rid of yeast. One shall first of all limit the consumption of sugar and simple carbohydrates (white bread, pasta) and introduce into his or her diet naturally fermented products (pickled cucumbers, fermented cabbage). Studies have shown that fatty acids of the average chain length with lauric acid and caprylic acid in the leading positions are effective in killing yeast cells, that is why, it is recommended to use coconut oil, which in over 90% consists of those acids.

Omega-3 acids, present in fish, nuts, and almonds exert positive effects not only on the skin condition, but the entire body. Unfortunately, most of us uptake them by far too little, not only due to the fact that they appear rather seldom in our food, but also due to the fact that they get easily oxidized in high temperatures. If omega 3 acids are present for instance in fish, and we eat fish regularly, does it mean that we provide an appropriate amount of them to our body? YES! As long as we consume fresh fish raw … If we fry, bake or cook fish, we say good bye to necessary unsaturated fatty acids – linoleic acids (omega-3). A good solution could be to take linseed oil. Linseed oil shall be pressed cold, unrefined, crude and stored in a dark bottle in refrigerated conditions. The above mentioned shall allow to keep a high percent of omega 3 acids.

The condition of our liver exerts a tremulous influence on the conditions of our skin, that is why, we shall take care of our livers. Toxins have very negative effects on skin changes condition. Milk thistle is a fantastic gift of the nature with its purifying effects on the liver. We may purchase milk thistle seeds (grind them and consume) or milk thistle oil, which effectively regenerates, purifies and protects the liver. For therapeutic effects, take the dose of one spoonful of thistle oil 3 times a day. Remember that only unrefined, cold-pressed oil has properties of seeds from which they have been pressed.
