A great home treatment for when you are in psoriasis crisis is to adopt these 3 steps that we indicate the following:
- Take a bath of coarse salt;
- Drink an herbal tea with anti-inflammatory and healing properties;
- Apply a saffron ointment directly on the lesions.
Also, frequent diving or skin rinsing with seawater also helps to prevent the onset of psoriasis crises due to the properties of water and the presence of ions. Spending a little bit of liquid petroleum jelly daily on lesions or copaiba oil, putting a small amount of the oil on the affected area of the skin at least 3 times a day also help in the treatment because this way, the skin becomes more hydrated and the crusts less evident .
This home treatment does not exclude the treatment indicated by the dermatologist but may be useful to complement, naturally, its effects under psoriasis:
