Psoriasis Self Help

• It may help to reduce your intake of meat, animal fats, sugar and alcohol and increase intake of fibre, fruit, vegetables, cooked dried beans and peas, nuts and seeds.

• Eat more oily fish, particularly mackerel, sardines, herring and salmon.

• An oatmeal bath can help to soothe irritated skin. Put 1kg of oatmeal in cheesecloth bags in a hot bath and soak for about 15 minutes. Apply your treatments afterwards.

• Exercise can help reduce stress which can be a contributing factor.
