WHAT NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS HELP?

Fish oil and flaxseed oil contain omega-3 fatty acids. These compounds help block the action of certain derivatives of arachidonic acid (also a fatty acid) which play important roles in inflammation. Vitamin A is helpful in maintaining healthy skin and nails. Zinc promotes healing, but should be taken with copper in long-term usage, as it interferes with the absorption of copper.

Funaric acid cream may help to control outbreaks of psoriasis when applied topically to the skin lesions. This helps to reduce the size of the lesion and provide relief from the pain and itching.

As always it is very important for anyone to discuss with their health care provider before using any natural herbs or vitamins.
