By Kim Moser


You can greatly improve psoriasis by using herbal treatments. liver function is one of the best ways to work with psoriasis. Your blood can become full of toxins when your liver is not working properly and this can be seen on the skin. Trauma, infection and stress can also trigger psoriasis outbreaks as well as immune system failure. Any herbal treatment must have ways of targeting these issues. You may need to have some patience with treating psoriasis because it takes longer to heal it if you have had it for some time.

Psoriasis can be helped by a range of herbs such as Gotu Kola that helps with connective tissue repair and normal tissue regeneration. Yellow Dock to stimulate the liver and to clear chronic skin problems along with liquorice for its anti-inflammatory properties. Cleavers assists with lymphatic circulation and stimulation of kidney function and Bupleurum assists liver detoxification and is also an immune system stimulant and corrective.

Psoriasis is the result of over-active skin cell replication and is characterised by scaly patches that are often a silvery colour. Itching and bleeding often occur as skin cells grow faster than they can be shed. To soothe the skin, applying a cream of Calendula, St Johns Wort and essential oil of Tea Tree and Lavender twice daily will help. Although this will relieve symptoms, balancing the body is the best way to get long lasting results.

The liver is one of the most amazing organs in the human body; it is also one of the largest. Because the liver's primary function is to detoxify the blood of toxic substances, it is understandable that this organ has come under substantially more stress in recent times. There are two main pathways of detoxification in the liver. The first phase converts toxic chemicals into less harmful ones. In this process free radicals are released. Excessive amounts of free radicals can, in turn, damage liver cells. When liver cells are damaged enough by free radicals, they may break open and release their enzymes into the bloodstream giving abnormal liver enzyme readings in the blood. This shows significant tissue damage. A Detox herbal remedy contains herbs high in antioxidants to slow down or eliminate the buildup of free radicals.

The conjugation pathway is the second detox pathway in the liver. In this process the liver uses the bowel or kidneys to eliminate toxins as waste products by joining special substances to the toxic chemical. If the processes of the bowel or urinary system are impaired, the conjugation pathway can fail. Amino acids like cystine and taurine contain sulphur and are needed in the conjugation phase.

In conjunction with herbal treatments, Glycine, glutamine, choline and inositol are also required to take you through phase two detoxification of the liver. Phytoplex is a product that will assist in this phase. Products such as Biological Sulfur will aid by providing the much-needed sulfur for the catabolism of these amino acids and assist with liver detoxification.

It is important that the herbal also has herbs such as dandelion to help the kidneys and the bowel to eliminate waste effectively. Cleavers, St Mary's Thistle, Shizandra,Tumeric, Globe Artichoke, and Gentian all work together to provide antioxidants and or to stimulate elimination to help the liver to detoxify your body.
