, almost always chronic-relapsing, non-contagious in nature, which arises as a result of a "hyperproliferation of epidermal keratinocytes and causes distinctive skin rashes (eg: scales, silvery plaques, reddish patches, etc.) in various parts of the body, including which in particular: scalp, armpits, elbows, hands, knees and feet.
These natural remedies must be formulated with targeted drugs, which act directly on the disorder: the resulting active ingredients must promote antioxidant, restorative, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic activities. In addition, the product must be characterized by oils or waxes with an emollient and protective action to make the skin soft.Propolis: bee product characterized by many bio-molecules of flavoniodic derivation (pinocembrin, galangin) and phenyl propanoid (caffeic acid with phenyl ethyl ester with antibacterial and antibiotic properties). The flavonoids promote the antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, restorative and antiseptic action. Propolis is characterized by a surprising health importance for physiological situations; the only problem is that it is potentially allergenic. Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi): the oily extract of grapefruit seeds is rich in phenols and flavonoids with antioxidant activity. Furthermore, grapefruit is characterized by ceramides consisting of sphingosine (nitrogen molecule) esterified with fatty acids. Ceramides are constituents of membrane and mediators of transmission of inflammatory signal: for this reason, the oily extract of grapefruit seeds acts with anti-inflammatory activity.

Doctors and researchers believe that psoriasis is an autoimmune disease or, in any case, a condition linked to an "abnormal activity of the immune system, to the onset of which genetic factors, psycho-physical stress, smoking, the consumption of alcoholic beverages may contribute. sunburn, certain types of infections, skin wounds, etc.
, creams, ointments and gels.These natural remedies must be formulated with targeted drugs, which act directly on the disorder: the resulting active ingredients must promote antioxidant, restorative, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic activities. In addition, the product must be characterized by oils or waxes with an emollient and protective action to make the skin soft.
Here are some examples that are great remedies to lighten psoriasis.
(Aloe vera gel) is considered in this formulation for the presence of polysaccharides which exert a restorative action (recent studies have shown that in vitro aloe is capable of stimulating cell division). Aloe also acts by decreasing skin dehydration. Some people attribute moisturizing properties to aloe-based products: this definition, referring to a product for topical use, is inaccurate, since drugs purely moisturizing they capture water from the atmosphere and carry it into the skin. Despite what has been stated, aloe can be called a pseudo-moisturizer because it is able to to preserve the amount of water in the skin and decrease the loss of water thanks to the organic acids that slowly release the water captured from the environment (the correct term is emollient).A herbal product formulated in this way is very effective: the drugs used are only three, but each of them exerts a "targeted and particular action. Now we will analyze another" formulation that performs the same action as the gel, but is made up of many drugs.
(Macadamia integrifolia) and jojoba oil (Simmondsia chinensis) are two oil products that confer emollient, protective and antioxidant properties, whose unsaponifiable fraction prevents inflammation: they are, however, typical properties of all oils (although jojoba oil is actually a liquid wax because it consists of a mix of fatty acids esterified with alcohols other than glycerol), consequently sweet almond oil, for example, would have been an excellent substitute for macadamia oil and jojoba wax.Oil products generally boast nourishing properties if applied locally, thanks to the unsaponifiable fraction consisting of low-polar molecules such as flavonoids and tetraterpenes. Jojoba oil promotes dermoprotective activity and gives elasticity to the skin, is rich in vitamin E and protects the skin from attack by free radicals.
- Squalene: Squalene is the chemical precursor of steroids, a triterpene hydrocarbon that makes up animal and plant membranes. It is found naturally in rice bran, olives and wheat germ; in a herbal product against psoriasis, it serves as a metabolic-tonic for skin tissues and promotes the eudermic and re-epithelizing activity of the cream.
- Salicylic acid, extracted from almonds and willow (Salix Babylonian Linneus): the presence of salicylic acid in a cream against psoriasis is ambiguous. Incorrectly, one might think that it performs an "anti-inflammatory action, but it is not correct to attribute this property to this molecule if it has been inserted in a product for topical use and not in a formulation for internal use. In fact, locally applied salicylic acid has a keratolytic and non-anti-inflammatory action.
- Burdock (Arctium lappa): the sulphured and phenolic terpene components attribute anti-inflammatory properties and improve skin transpiration.
- Pineapple (Pineapple sativus): the importance of pineapple in a natural product against psoriasis lies in the presence of bromelain, a proteolytic enzyme that promotes anti-inflammatory activity: in vitro Bromelain has been shown to inhibit the production of pain mediators prostaglandins and thromboxanes. The term "proteolytic enzyme" could be sobering: it literally means "breaking proteins", so the question arises as to what connection there is between bromelain and the treatment of psoriasis. The answer is simple: psoriasis also manifests itself with peeling of the skin, referring to damage to the cells that have gone into apoptosis (cell death), consequently the skin feels the need to be re-epithelialized and bromelain performs this function, by "breaking down" skin proteins and promoting re-epithelialization.
- Centella (Gotu kola): the phytocomplex of triterpene saponins confers capillarotropic properties to the product, which tone the peripheral venous microcirculation, stimulating circulation. Centella could be replaced with other saponin plants such as rusco, horse chestnut, ivy.
- Zinc oxide: exerts considerable adsorbing capacity, decreases excessive skin transpiration and limits suppuration. It is necessary in case psoriasis is accompanied by lesions and sores that are difficult to heal.
The second product analyzed is much more complex and articulated than the gel with propolis, grapefruit and aloe: in fact the drugs used for the cream are many and the functions performed by them are repeated many times.
PLEASE NOTE
Before embarking on any natural treatment, it is advisable to undergo a specialist visit to a doctor or a dermatologist who will direct the patient towards natural treatments, phototherapy or specific pharmacological treatments against psoriasis
In the presence of diseases such as psoriasis, self-diagnosis and do-it-yourself treatments are to be avoided.
