Psoriasis help

[jennifairy11]

Hi everyone! We are expecting a baby in January and, as such, we are trying to cut down on expenses as much as possible before then. One of the things I notice I spend way too much money on is shampoo

I also have psoriasis. I have been able to mostly manage it with a shampoo bar and white vinegar rinse, to which I usually add lavender or peppermint EO. Lavender has been the best for me. I get my shampoo bars from a local soap maker, but you can try Chagrin Valley. I've used them before and enjoyed their products, just found a local person so stopped buying from them. These practices and products have really toned down the scaly, itchiness for me so I hope you have success if you decide to try them!

if possible, i'd try to find the triggers and remove them (for me they were gluten and corn; corn is a bear in the usa since it's in almost allp rocessed foods! but going to fresh foods and avoiding cross contam helped

Good point about the EOs. I've read of pubescent boys who used lavendar shampoos developing breasts.

I don't have psoriasis, but my JR Ligget shampoo bar is pretty gentle while doing the job. Listen to the people who actually have psoriasis first, but it might be worth a try!

Comes in paper packaging rather than plastic, too.

There are store brand versions of T-Gel which are exactly the same ingredients but significantly cheaper. I have eczema sometimes and the T-Gel is brilliant for it. I just get the store brand.

I know the Celandine oil is good for psoriasis, but I never tried it as I don't have psoriasis.
