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?
