Another herbal remedy that has consistently been shown to be effective in the treatment of Psoriasis - in numerous independent clinical trials all over the world - is a plant called Mahonia aquifolium. Pharmaceutical companies wouldn't touch it because a natural plant product cannot be patented. In the end, m-folia skin care range got formulated in the UK.
Tip: For optimum performance, apply M-Folia Ointment after a hot bath or shower. It will go a lot further as it spreads more easily when the skin is warm and it will also be more effective as extract penetrates deeper.
Nigella Sativa Oil (also known as Black Cumin) has an incredible, demonstrable healing action that is effective at countering numerous specific diseases including cancer, asthma, allergies, bronchial disorders, throat infections, fungal infections, various immune disorders and sin disorders including Psoriasis. In fact, one company in the USA has submitted a patent for a product for the treatment of Psoriasis, the active ingredient being Nigella Sativa Oil.
Nigella Sativa has been shown in clinical studies to work in a number of ways:
* Analgesic: It relieves or dampens sensation of pain.
* Anthelmintic: (Also know as vermicide or vermifuge) destroying and expelling intestinal worms.
* Anti-bacterial: destroys or inhibits the growth of destructive bacteria.
* Anti-Inflammatory: reduces inflammation.
* Anti-Microbial: destroys or inhibits the growth of destructive microorganisms.
* Antioxidant: prevents or delays the damaging oxidisation of the body’s cells - particularly useful against free radicals.
* Anti-Pyretic: (Also known as ferbrifuge) – exhibits a ‘cooling action’, useful in fever reduction.
* Anti-spasmodic: prevents or eases muscle spasms and cramps.
* Anti-tumour: counteracts or prevents the formation of malignant tumours.
* Carminative: stimulates digestion and induces the expulsion of gas from the stomach and the intestines.
* Diaphoretic: induces perspiration during fever to cool and stimulate the release of toxins.
* Diuretic: stimulates urination to relieve bloating and rid the body of any excess water.
* Digestive: stimulates bile and aids in the digestive process.
* Emmenagogue: stimulates menstrual flow and activity.
* Galactogogue: stimulates the action of milk in new mothers.
* Hypotensive: reduces excess blood pressure.
* Immunomodulator: suppresses or strengthens immune system activity as needed for optimum balance.
* Laxative: causes looseness or relaxation of the bowels.
It all started to make sense. Psoriasis is known as being an auto-immune-disorder. The immune system doesn't function properly and the skin cells start to multiply at a rapid pace - hence the redness and scaling. Nigella Sativa supports the immune system in so many ways and it has very strong anti- inflammatory compounds in it that relieve all manner of inflammatory diseases.
