Psoriasis Soak - The Natural Way

Hello Everyone, I'm going to share with you what works for me in dealing with my severe psoriasis which covers me from head to toe.

Please remember research, research, research. I checked and double checked everything before deciding to use them. As you know those of you who've suffer this disease it's no cure and it's important you understand this doesn't work over night. THERE IS NO CURE............
the best I can ever do is try to manage it as best I can.

1. Soak only in luke warm water (skin is already irritated and use nothing which contains alcohol).
    Ingredients
Bleach and Vinger (use either or) 
  1. Bleach
  2. Apple Cider Vinger (only-this is only acetic acid you use)
  3. African Soap (unrefined only)
  4. Tea Tree Oil (essential oil)
  5. Patchulli Oil (essential oil)
  6. Rose Oil (essential oil)
  7. Camomile Oil (essential oil)
  8. Shea Butter (unrefined only or Shea oil)
  9. Grapeseed Oil
  10. African Black Honey (not edible)
  11. Quaker oat's Oatmeal
  12. (1) knee high
  13. Powdered Milk
 Pour in powdered milk while water runs..you want the water to be milky this smooths skin.
1tbls (Bleach or Vineger)
1 medium size cube to wash body twice and hair.
5 drops of tea tree oil
5 drops of patchulli oil
5 drops of camomile oil
5 drops of rose
1 small piece of unrefined Shea butter (or Shea oil)
5 squirts of grapeseed oil
3 squirts of African black honey (not edible)it's very sticky so I mix it with lotion and oils before a soak. It works well with the black african soap to get the psoriasis layers a few off.
Open knee high and pour in Quaker Oats oatmeal...fill only to heel and let float in tub.

I soaked in this every other day for a year and a half. Currently I'm happy to say it's now only 3 times a day. With fall and winter fast approaching my skin can also tell the difference therefore 3 times a day for 30 minutes in hopes things don't get bad like they once were.

Daily Usage

I made lotions such as Nivea (w.sea salt or minerals)and Eucerin more beneficial for me.  Large bottle I add the following.

8 drops of Tea Tree Oil
8 drops of Patchulli oil
3 long squirts of melted Shea Butter (unrefined or Shea Oil)
3 long squirts of Grapeseed oil
5 drops of camomile oil
5 drops of rose oil

Camomile tea 3 to 4 times a day, this relaxes you as well as helps a little with the itching. Here's my favorite. 1 tbls of apple cider vinger orally twice a day. Vineger takes care of those nasty bacteria bugs along with bleach but you CAN'T very well drink bleach. I am now down to 1 table spoon of vineger, but before november I'll be back to 2 tbls spoons.


I use the vinger when washing as well, just enough to cover the bottom of measuring cup to first line.

Shake it all up and apply and/or I add all of this to a container and use 3 heaping tablespoons for Vaseline in, mix well to make it smooth then apply this way.

This is applied everyday anywhere from 3 to 5 times a day depending on clothing being worn. Clothing soaks up all of this which in turn dries out your skin, lol, as we know with psoriasis you don't need extra things drying out skin. Job hunting day's, well let's just say when I go out I make sure I hit several places that day. I realize this sounds messy but this is what I did, what I had to do.

When I write again I will tell you what supplements I'm taking along with this regiment. Yes there's more, there's always more. I share this in hopes that if it doesn't help several then perhaps it will help at least one.

All of the oil leaves a mess so might I suggest you do as I've done. Those old sheets you haven't gotten around to throwing away, good. They are now handy, how? When making beds just fold it over on your side which doubles it or sleep between it so your not messing up your comforter/bedspread, what have you. My husband understands and doesn't get offended and with this damn disease he knows I'm hiding the body anyway, yet still very understanding.

I'm going to thank my friends who helped me find alternate way's to work with this disease. If it weren't for the understanding people in my life the depression would of done me in a while ago. So please know I know what your going through or what you will go through or what you have gone through. This blog is for sharing experiences or just blowing off steam so feel free to do so there are no judgements here. We get depressed, irritated, uncomfortable, etc.

Supplements will be next they do help.
