Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disorder characterized by accelerated turnover of skin cells, leading to thickened, scaly, erythematous plaques. It can affect any part of the body but is commonly seen on the scalp, elbows, knees, and lower back. The disease is associated with itching, burning, and sometimes pain. Psoriasis may vary in severity, from small localized patches to widespread involvement, and can be triggered or worsened by stress, infections, trauma (Koebner phenomenon), or certain medications. Psoriasis is often associated with systemic conditions such as arthritis, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease.

Homoeopathy treats psoriasis by addressing the underlying chronic miasmatic tendencies, immune dysregulation, and constitutional susceptibility. Remedies aim to reduce inflammation, normalize skin cell turnover, relieve itching and burning, and prevent recurrence. Selection is individualized based on lesion characteristics, modalities, mental and emotional symptoms, family history, and overall constitution.

Natural Homoeopathic remedies to get rid of Psoriasis

Red, Raised, Itchy Patches with Silvery Scales – Graphites

Thick, dry, scaly plaques with deep cracks and fissures. Itching worsens at night or from warmth. Skin may ooze sticky fluid when scratched. Graphites is indicated in chronic, slow-healing, cracked, and sticky eruptions with itching.

Thick, Hard, Crusted Skin Lesions – Arsenicum Album

Burning sensation in lesions, especially at night or from cold applications. The patient feels restlessness and anxiety. Skin appears dry, with fine scaling, and lesions may spread rapidly.

Pustular or Suppurative Psoriasis – Hepar Sulphuris Calcareum

Small pustules develop on erythematous skin, often with tenderness. The patient may feel cold, sensitive, and irritable. The pustules are prone to rupture and leave raw, painful areas.

Scalp Psoriasis with Severe Itching – Thuja Occidentalis

Thick crusts or “tree-bark” scaling on the scalp with intense itching. Hair may fall out in patches. Burning, soreness, and sticky exudates are common. Thuja is indicated when there is a tendency for warts, eruptions, or chronic skin thickening.

Psoriasis with Redness, Heat, and Burning – Rhus Toxicodendron

Red, inflamed plaques with burning and stinging sensations. Scratching provides temporary relief. Skin lesions are worse from cold, dampness, or at night.

Psoriasis with Dry, Itchy, Cracked Heels or Soles – Mezereum

Nail pitting, ridges, thickened or crumbling nails. Associated joint stiffness or pain may be present. Causticum is helpful when lesions are chronic and slowly progressive.

Psoriasis with Severe Itching and Scratching – Graphites

The skin becomes raw from scratching, with oozing and thick crusts. Scratching worsens the itching, especially at night. Patient may feel restless and sleepless.
