Relieving psoriasis the Chinese Way

Take a large amount of the herb known as Phellodendron amurensee, or Amur Cork Tree, blend it with equal amount of the herb by the name of Rheum palmatum, i.e. rhubarb, and prepare a very strong high-quality extract. Add licorice, processed in a special way, and blend it all into the best ointment-base that you can find. Then administer the ointment to places affected by psoriasis, preferably for the night, and experience the relief effect of Chinese herbs.

With considerable simplification, such might be the wording of a prescription using Chinese herbs to improve the condition of psoriasis eruption.

Not even in Chinese medicine is psoriasis easy to treat. Although it is a singular condition, Chinese diagnostics identifies at least four principles from which the illness arises, all of them, however having several phenomena in common. One of them is intense inner heat. The first herb mentioned above can decrease this heat and the second one can eliminate it from the body by way of stool. The third herb – licorice – is generally well known, but specifically the potassium from glycyrrhetic acid contained in this herb has strong anti-inflammatory effect remotely resembling the effect of steroids.

Modern technologies can process these herbs into the form of very potent extracts which, in order to achieve maximum efficiency, must be blended into a high-quality base medium. In this way it is possible to obtain an excellent medicine with powerful effects.
