Hi, I was diagnosed with psoriasis 13yrs ago, since then I have tried both pharmaceutical &alternative medicine until I  lost count of the meds and herbs I have taken all with the aim of curing the psoriasis.

With the pharmaceutical medicines (which most have steroids) the psoriasis would clear briefly but reappear in a worse state and at times the meds simply didn’t work at all.

Finally I got fed up of seeing very little improvement on the psoriasis and the doctors who kept putting me on the steroid meds.

That’s when I embarked on the alternative medicine journey. After failed trial with herbs, cleansing, dieting and nutritional supplements. Someone advised me to try slippery elm, pala indigo, shea butter and nivea petroleum jelly.

For slippery elm I used to take one teaspoon full mixed in 0.25l of warm water morning and evening

For sheabutter I use grade A (coz its only grade Athat has anti flammatory properties-this assist in moisturizing and reducing the itchiness. Luckily for me I live where Shea butter grade A is produced naturally so it was not hard for me getting it.

For Pala indigo; I was told to use the leaves but unfortunately the guy whom I went to buy from only had the seeds. I would grind the seed and mix it with nivea then I apply to my body.i must say it wasn’t a good experience ,my body was so sore that I almost gave up but after 3 weeks I noticed some improvement  so I pressed on and after six months I was cured!

It’s now 1 &1/2 yrs since then and am still psoriasis free.

My heart goes out to the people who are suffering from this disease; I have been there and I know the embarrassment and the discomfort people go through. For me it was trial and error till I found what worked

Alternative medicine is not for the faint hearted ,but it’s the best way to cure psoriasis .my advice is to be patient coz at times the meds take quite some time before you  see results, some have the most unpleasant taste you’ll ever encounter and the oils smell ‘not so nice’

So it all comes down to how bad you want to get rid of the disease.Sorry for the long story, I thought I should share my experience; it might be of help to someone .thanks

oh my goodness, its as if you answered my prayers. I am suffering so badly with head scalp psoriasis and that is due to the sulfite sensitivity I have but the dermatologist my doctor sent me to years ago wanted to inject something into my scalp and that medication had sulfites (for preservative) in it.
It was so hard to make him understand that he could not inject me and I walked out, my doctor did not send me to another specialist.
I changed doctors as he was not helping me, meanwhile over the years, one small patch has not taken over almost 3/4 of my head and its so itchy and painful.
I talked to my new doctor last week after updating her on my sulfite issue which was important, and she has already booked me in with a dermatologist at a hospital, I will let you know what happens, but you posting this remedy/cure for psoriasis, the pharmaceuticals are going to hate you because as people get cured they won't be needing their chemical medecines which mask the conditon, they don't cure it.

Wow, thank you so so much! So now where do I buy this Pala indigo leaves or seeds and the nivea petroleum jelly please tell me. Do you mix them half and half or what is the proper proportion?

Thanks again, please let me know.

Hi Yash,glad i can be of help.i dont mind them hating me,coz at the end of the day it is your health that really matters;you have to find what will work for your psoriasis.
i bought the pala indigo (also known as wrightia tinctoria) locally where i live.
but if you cant find it in your country you can check out these sites,they can be of assistance.
