Natural Remedies - Progress, Trial & Error

[Coffeeplease]

Thanks for the update it sounds as if the coal tar is working well for you and it's great if you are seeing improvements

The baking soda and oatmeal baths seem to also be helping . I hope it continues to improve for you and look forward to reading your updates
I look forward to seeing pictures, there are tutorials on posting if you get in a muddle [Group Specific]

Thank you Jim!  I will review the link when I'm ready to post pics...progress is slow, however I am thrilled to see any progress!  While the psoriasis still appears "angry", it's improving.  I would recommend anyone to try the baking soda/oatmeal for plaques.  The relief it provides from itching/burning/scaling is such a welcome feeling!

Lillie do you have hard water ? If so you will be very pleased with the results of installing a water softener.

Sorry I have gone a bit  but I think that and wheat starch could be better than dead sea salt which in my opinion is a scam as it only works if you are in the dead sea.

I rent an apartment, I would say the water is not hard, but not soft either.  Years ago when I lived on a farm with well water, and it was pretty harsh.  I'm disappointed in the dead sea salts honestly.  I tried the soak again over this last weekend.  I see immediate lessening of the redness with baking soda and oatmeal.  Ugh, yes I think I was scammed by the Dead Sea...but lesson learned!

I'm sure most of us have been there, and we have all tried different things. It can help, but by what I know it only helps if you are there. Something to do with the position on the world, but way over my heard. Unfortunately there are people who will plaque those with psoriasis and we have to be very very careful.

But that is just my opinion, and I will stop taking your thread off topic and wish you good luck with your trials.

Don't apologize!  I'm learning and it's good information to have.  I'm seeing the best results so far with the baking soda/oatmeal bath about 3 times a week, along with over the counter coal tar. The coal tar smell is not so nice, but helping so I will happily deal with me stinking to get relief!

In the Netherlands we have a guy that is doing very well on salt water, don’t know his specific recipe, but anyway for me it proves that it is not a scam, but that it is not for everyone, it is not the miracle cure, just like all the other treatments but it can work very well voor the person where it is suited for.

There is a chance that I can talk to this guy in a few weeks. If I hear something interesting, I will report that over here.
