psoriasis cure?

I have psoriasis or so I suspect on one of my shins - I have tried everything the Doc has offered to no real effect - it itches and I often scratch it to bleeding.

Some time ago I made a glycerin tincture from every part of the plant, from the leaves to some of the flowers to the roots, just ground everything up and put it in the glycerin and kept the stuff warm for a day or so. I wound up with this very sticky viscous dark stuff, about a half pint or so. I tried some under my tongue a few times - didn't get much in the way of high. Tried eating some of it, got a little sleepy but nothing more but I kept it in my freezer.


Last month it fell from the freezer and the bottle broke - so I collected the tincture and the glass and put it in a bowl so that the glass would eventually fall to the bottom and I could recover this pretty useless stuff.


Wife had an idea though, rubbed some of it on my psoriasis and the affected tissue changed color from red to more akin to the natural color of my skin.


We applied this stuff to the area once a day for the next two weeks. the itching has all but gone away completely, the redness is reduced greatly and the size of the affected area has shrunk by maybe 20 percent.


In the interest of medical science I have stopped applying this tincture and the redness is returning. I intend to apply pure glycerin for a few days to see if that has any effect and then if it does not, I will return to using the tincture and see if I can heal it completely.



Anyone else had any experience with topical application of tincture for any diseases?

If that turns out not to work for you, try Bag Balm. It was originally made for cows udders, you used to have to get it at a feed store. Now you can get it anyware.
My grandmother was bedridden, and developed bed sores and her home health nurse swore by this bag balm. Seemed to work.
I was talking to a neighbor lady about it and she said that's what she used on her psoriasis and loved it. I didn't even no she had it. So if all else fails give that a shot maybe it will work for you.

Thanks Blowin, I have not tried bag balm - they are offering pills now for this sort of thing - I opted out simply because I figure that I don't want to stack up too many pills now, high blood pressure, cholesterol, and the like, the more pills one takes the less options one has as the requirements for good health change - I am hoping that tincture works only because I want to see just what marijuana is actually good for. Bunions, balding, sciatica, heartburn, hives, just like the old days of patent medicine.

this is the only method that has worked for me, i have had it for 17 years now
thats interesting, i wonder if the roots has anything to do with that, since they are probably medicinal too.

@canndo...if you have psoriasis, High bp, cholesterol and other skin problem, you are not eating right. its just that simple, change what you eat, filter your water, excersise and reduce stress. i went from 60% psoriosis to 5% just by changing what i eat.

healing psoriasis the natural alternative

Be careful with scratching till you bleed. I have mine in on my shin too as well as a bad case of Varicose Veins. (1 time I scratched and I guess it a vein and a nice thin stream of blood shot out about two feet in the air. I would put my finger over it and remove it and it would still be shooting out. Went to the hospital and they just put and band aid over it. When I came in they thought someone shot me in the leg cause my pant leg was soaked in blood)

But why I'm saying be careful is that those scratches can become infected. So infected they can cause Abscesses and might need to be drained by a doctor! My first one I ignored thinking it would heal on its own and I took myself to the hospital because my leg was so infected and swollen it was affecting my leg muscles to the point I couldn't walk. They had to cut open the abscess and drain. They did this from my hospital bed. They numbed me up real good shot me with pain killers(the good stuff cause I felt all warm and good after the shot) Then cut a deep hole the size of .45 bullet in the side of my leg. The nurse even said "OH my good it squirting out like a fountain(Pus &Blood)

Even though it was healing the pain was unbearable because it felt like the blood was running down my leg beneath my skin. I was in the hospital 6 days and with 5 of those days I was being pumped with strong antibiotics(1 big IV bag every 3 hours).Just make sure to clean up your scratches and to properly bandage them to prevent them from getting infected.... I would never wish anybody to go through this all because ignoring a scratch.

I am a 32 year old male that works out 4 times a week and eats healthy and at times my psoriasis is sometimes hard to control. 1 thing that has work but I stopped doing but will start again this week is to go tanning. They say the UV light from the tanning helps and it has worked for me in the past. If you do try it give it a week to see how your leg looks. I decided to try it instead of the $300 session at the doctors office and only paying $30 month at the tanning booth.

My Psoriasis is sometimes so bad that my dogs and when I got to different peoples houses that have dogs will run up to me and sniff my leg cause it was always scratched to the point of bleeding. It would bet kinda embarrassing cause the dogs would follow me around sniffing my paint leg cause they could smell blood

chlorine (filter all water including shower, avoid pools and hot tubs), tobacco, caffeine, alcohol, sugar, chocolate, shellfish, tomatoes, peppers, paprika, eggplant, white potatoes, fatty foods like meats and cheeses, processed foods (things at convenient stores), diets high in grains, mixing fruits and grains, mixing citrus and dairy.


these are the things that affect psoriasis the most.
everything in moderation.
reduce stress as this is the biggest cause.

anythings else, UV light, topicals, pills, etc are all just suppressing the symptoms. the real problem lies in toxins (items mentioned above) in the blood because of a thin colon wall.
clean out your system (colonic, fruit fasting), eliminate toxins from your diet, and you will be P free.

good luck
that book mentioned above changed my life.....its not an easy life, we have to play with the cards we are dealt, but believe me you will be much happier with P under control....then when its at its minimum you can have things on the list in moderation, knowing you will probably break out.
