Conventional treatments often focus on symptom relief, but homeopathy goes deeper—it helps regulate the immune system, reduce inflammation, and heal the skin from within.

ToggleUNDERSTANDING PSORIASIS: CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS

Psoriasis isn’t just a skin condition—it’s an immune system imbalance.
Here’s what might be triggering it:
- Genetics – If your family has a history of psoriasis, you’re more likely to develop it.
- Stress & Anxiety – Mental stress can trigger flare-ups or make existing patches worse.
- Cold & Dry Weather – Psoriasis gets worse in winter due to dryness.
- Hormonal Imbalance – Puberty, pregnancy, or menopause can trigger outbreaks.
- Skin Injury (Koebner’s Phenomenon) – A cut, scrape, or sunburn can cause new lesions.
- Medications – Drugs like beta-blockers, NSAIDs, and lithium can aggravate psoriasis.
COMMON SYMPTOMS OF PSORIASIS
✅ Thick, scaly patches (white/silvery scales)
✅ Intense itching & redness
✅ Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
✅ Burning sensation on affected areas
✅ Nail changes (thickening, pitting, yellowing)
✅ Joint pain & stiffness (Psoriatic Arthritis)
Now, let’s explore the best homeopathic medicines for psoriasis based on your unique symptoms.
UNDERSTANDING MIASMS IN PSORIASIS
Miasms are underlying disease tendencies in homeopathy that influence how a condition manifests.
Psoriasis can have a mixed miasmatic origin, usually involving Psora, Syphilis, and Sycosis.
- Psoric Miasm (Itching, Dryness, Scaling) – Early-stage psoriasis with red, itchy skin and dryness. Remedies like Sulphur, Arsenicum Album, and Natrum Mur are suited for this.
- Syphilitic Miasm (Ulceration, Bleeding, Deep Cracks) – Destructive psoriasis with deep cracks, bleeding, and ulceration. Graphites, Petroleum, Mezereum, and Kali Arsenicosum fit this type.
- Sycotic Miasm (Excessive Skin Growth, Thickened Plaques) – Thickened, hardened plaques with excessive scaling. Hydrocotyle Asiatica, Kali Arsenicosum, and Rhus Tox are helpful here.
