Eczema, Psoriasis and other Skin Irritations.
Skin irritations and rashes are something I commonly treat and see in my practice. It’s amazing how many times I hear the GP gives cortisone cream as a solution as a first line of defence. This is the greatest thing about Herbal medicine, I don’t offer one treatment fits all. My solutions can be given orally or applied topically depending on the client’s needs. I have a daughter that struggles all the time with Eczema and Psoriasis, she finds the creams I make up provide less itching and the rashes seem less pronounced. Here a couple of herbs you can use for these conditions:
- Acne – topically Calendula, Oregon grape, Poke root, Barberry and Golden seal. Orally using Andrographis, Blue flag, Burdock, Chaste tree, Licorice, Nettle leaf.
- Dermatitis – Albizzia, Baical skullcap, Blue flag, Burdock, Oregon grape, Poke root, Red clover, Sarsaparilla, Yellow dock. Topically Agrimony, Calendula, Chamomile, Chickweed, Comfrey, Golden seal, Gotu kola, Witch’s hazel and Yarrow.
- Psoriasis = Blue flag, Burdock, Chickweed (topically) Clivers, Coleus, Oregon grape, Red clover, Sarsaparilla, Yellow dock and Boswellia.
