Ever think of making your own soap for psoriasis?

To answer the question myself, yes, I've been thinking about it for sometime, but of course kept putting it off.  Like myself you can find these things by reading, searching, and reading more. What I'm about to post I found on Livestrong.com, by Ana Cassis.

Ingredients

10 Drops - Tea Tree Oil
35 Drops - Lavender Oil
1/2 cup -   Aloe Vera Gel
2 tsp. - Root of Oregon Grap
2 tsp. - Comfrey Root
3 oz -        Liquid Castile Soap
Root of oregon grape (called Mahonia Aquifolum) it has anti inflammatory and antiseptic.

Items Needed
A 1 quart mason jar w/lid
Cheese Cloth
Boiling water
 
Preperation
Add herbs to quart mason jar
add boiling water
close jar tightly and let herbs steep for 4 to 8 hours overnight to make herbal infusion strong.
Strain out plant material using cheesecloth.
Mix (1) cup of herbal infusion with liquid Castile soap and Aloe Vera Gel. (aloe has naturally 4.3 PH which helps treat skin disorders as well as protect from the sun).
Pour mixture into a squeeze bottle and add tea tree oil and lavender essential oils.
Cap squeeze bottle and shake it well in order to mix ingredients with the soap.
Store some of your soap in the refrigerator if you don't plan to use it for 3 to 4 weeks.
*****SHAKE SOAP BEFORE EACH USE*****

I'll be making my soap this weekend. I've noticed since the weather has begun to change I'm experiencing itching and more skin growth. I've also started taking my vitamin supplements everyday again. I'd decided during the summer to take them every other day or every 2 day's, that's how much my skin had cleared up.

I'll be looking for more things to pass along to you which will include treatment for your scalp as well.

Good Luck and see you again soon.
