Ultimate Psoriasis Natural Cure for Kids

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) describes the condition as "an immune system disorder that affects the skin, & occasionally the eyes, nails, & joints." Psoriasis is characterised by dry red scales called ‘plaques’ that are both painful & unattractive – a sometimes heartbreaking condition.

The opinion of our health experts is that the immune system only responds this way when there is something out of balance or the immune system is correctly responding to the presence of a foreign protein – in other words, an allergic reaction. This is supported by the fact that the condition is often associated with food intolerances & chemical sensitivities.

The first place to start with a psoriasis natural cure for kids is to identify the allergen. This can be either a food allergy - wheat & dairy are often to blame - or an allergy to household chemicals, soaps, perfumes, detergents, animals or even jewellery. A simple pulse test will help with this.

Take the resting pulse & if it rises over 10 beats per minute after exposure to the food or other, then you have an allergy.

Diet Recommendations

The psoriasis natural cure for kids starts with correcting the diet:

* No junk food, no food out of a box or a can, no fried food, eliminate all forms of sugar & refined or processed carbohydrates – bread, pizza dough, biscuits, white bread etc.
* Avoid the irritants or allergic foods & begin a rotation diet – avoid eating the same thing simultaneously regularly each day.
* Increase the intake of omega 3 essential fatty acids from fish & flax seed oil & reduce the intake of omega 6 oils (very common oils in nuts, vegetable oils, grains) – this will have the effect of reducing the inflammation response from the immune system. Omega 6 switches the immune system on & omega 3 turns it off.
