Best Organic Essential Oils to Treat Psoriasis




The exact cause of Psoriasis is not yet known.  However, studies have shown stressful living or a bad shock to the system that causes the adrenocortical hormones of the adrenal system to be out of balance or "exhausted," are known to cause onset of Psoriasis symptoms.  This disorder is also known to genetically run in families. 
  Psoriasis is a common skin disorder that unfortunately affects many people.  It is characterized by dry, scaly patches, and the skin under the patches is red and often itchy.  It usually affects the scalp, knees, elbows and limbs, although a serious outbreak can cover a lot of skin on the body.  This is due in part to an over- production of the epithelial cells of the skin, and the build-up is apt to be sloughed off very quickly and expose the tender, unprotected newer layer of skin beneath.
If you suffer with Psoriasis, definitely learn to manage stress by exercising regularly, which is proven to drop stress to the body systems significantly.  In addition, practicing calming breathing exercises, meditation or any other relaxation methods you choose will reduce stress and the unpleasant symptoms of this disorder.   It should be noted, however, that relaxation by intake of alcohol is not recommended and actually worsens symptoms; it is best to avoid alcohol entirely if you have an outbreak.  Eating a healthy, whole food diet and drinking plenty of water are also essential to treating and healing this condition.

There are natural healing methods available that are quite effective in treating Psoriasis, and many involve the topical application of organic essential oils to disinfect, moisturize and heal the affected areas of the skin.  Favorite organic essential oils recommended for treatment include Lavender, which is a natural antimicrobial and disinfectant, is calming and nourishing to the skin and senses and so reduces overall stress; in addition, organic Evening Primrose, Calendula, Chamomile, Damascena Rose, Neroli, Bergamot, Rosemary, Cedar and Juniper essential oils, some of which we discuss below.

It is used in organic anti-aging products for treatment of dark circles, wrinkles and age spots, and is highly effective in improving acne skin blemishes and inflammation due to its anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.

Treatment of Eczema:  In 1982, a prestigious medical journal reported the results of a double-blind crossover study in which 99 patients diagnosed with ectopic eczema, a sore, dry and always itchy rash on the skin, were given high doses of Organic Evening Primrose Oil, and 43% of them reported significant improvement in their symptoms!  A different Scottish study demonstrated that the oil is beneficial to nails that have become dry and brittle.  

Treatment of Psoriasis: This essential oil is anti-inflammatory in nature and increases the circulation.  When applied regularly to the psoriasis lesions, it reduces burning and itching.

Organic Evening Primrose essential Oil is an excellent alternative treatment to using steroid creams and topical immunomodulators. 

Treatment of Acne: Topical application of Evening Primrose Oil greatly reduces blackheads, pimples and inflammation caused by acne. This is because the oil decreases the amount of sebum in the pores of the skin, which prevents pores clogging and the inflammatory symptoms of acne.  This is largely possible due to the significant anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory qualities also inherent in this essential oil.
