Acupuncture and herbs treating psoriasis has been practiced long time. The effect generally is good.
The psoriasis is an auto-immune skin disease of scaling and inflammation. Individuals with psoriasis may experience significant physical discomfort and some movement difficulties. The disease may also affect the fingernails, the toenails, and some area soft tissue.
Treatment of conventional medicine is steroids. However, long term use can affect local collagen and tissue, also affect liver and kidney.
Acupuncture is a way to promote body self healing mechanism based on traditional theories of Chinese Medicine. Also herbs is a good dietary supplements to help body to mend up the injuries caused by psoriasis. I have patients whose conditions from some spots of scaling to more severe fingernails/toenails damages. Treatment cycle can be couple of months. Generally patients conditions are improved. Some people had red spots all over body. Those spots turned lighter to similar healthy skin color after couple of months treatment with herbs and acupuncture. Some areas are similar to the surrounding.
