Watch out for the Scams!

I read that Tea Tree Oil should not be used on Psoriasis as it could make it worse...Same thing with Vaseline, which has petroleum in it...confused.

The natural approach to Psoriasis which I have found quite helpful, but it's taken a long, very long time to get to where I am right now.

I've been using tea tree oil, Shea butter unrefined, African soap, patchouli oil, Shea oil, virgin olive oil, Vaseline, sea salt, Eucerin lotion, Nivea Lotion (almond oil/sea minerals), brown rice, non starched flour, apple cider vineger and bleach. All of this separate sounds crazy of course. I was diagonsed in 2007 with severe psoriasis after falling down steps at work, nerve damage and torn rota tor cup. Taking pills, damaging body causes all types of stress to your body and let's not forget lowering immune system which leaves you open to this dread disease. 80% of my body including scalp and other places you wouldn't believe, oh all over feet, omg it's awful. But right now no more painful red plaques, not a lot of silver scales and so forth. Most of this is contributed to natural ingredients.
I take my hat off to all of you who have dealt with this dreaded disease for much longer.
Yes I've done the typical meds doctors give with some decent results but then when you get laid off you have no insurance and paying 100 plus on meds isn't something you can do, so you look for alternatives. I will share how all of the ingredient's above have helped me to almost normal looking skin though splotches on skin. I don't know how I'll fair this winter since psoriasis and the psoriatic arthritis doesn't like the cold. Trust me I researched everything before trying any of this and if anyone decided to try any of this I share with you be sure to do your own research.
