Skin Deep psoriasis

  

Cure always results from a better understanding of the processes that underline the disease. The better we understand the disease easier it is to chalk out individualized treatment therapies which increases treatment efficacy.

People affected with psoriasis spend their entire time in finding a remedy to their ailment…but in vain! It always recurs back.

Psoriasis tends to run in families, the disorder involves abnormally rapid growth of skin cells. Normally skin cells mature in 28 to 30 days whereas in psoriasis it takes only 3 to 4 days for the cells to mature and surface. Recent proof suggests that T-cells, a type of white blood cell that plays a key role in the body’s immune defences, overreact in the presence of certain environmental factors, speeding the production of skin cells.

Common triggers include dry winters, stress, beta-blockers, anti-malarial and certain anti-inflammatory drugs. Certain lifestyle factors are also often involved in the onset of psoriasis like smoking, heavy alcohol use and sedentary life style.

Finding a correct therapy is often a difficult task. Local application of steroidal creams help in some cases only to minimise the scaling and irritation. Once the application is withdrawn the disease recurs again with double intensity, thus ointment is not an answer.

Psoriasis is indeed skin deep, an autoimmune disorder which requires thorough individual understanding. All Human diseases can be considered to result from an interaction between an individual’s unique genetic make-up and the environment. Studying genetic make-up, the non- disease character or the innate character and selecting the medicine to reverse the process of excessive cell maturation will cure the ailment permanently without and remissions and relapses.

Quick guide in scalp Psoriasis

      

    Frequent scaling of scalp influences hair loss. It is normal for skin cells to die and flake off; a small amount of flaking is normal and common. Dandruff is shedding of dry cells from the scalp which is often triggered by frequent exposure to extreme heat and cold. Scientific evidences have shown that fungus does play a role in causing dandruff. Approximately 45% of human population suffers from the problem of dandruff at any point of time.

    In scalp psoriasis the skin cells mature faster than normal. The scales are thicker and often have silvery appearance. The scales also extend to the forehead and also noticed behind and in the ears. Psoriasis is classified among autoimmune disorders.

    The problem can be very unsightly, which makes it an embarrassment, causes emotional distress. Most of the sufferers avoid wearing dark clothes as the presence of white flakes often becomes a cause of embarrassment in public and thus can affect a person’s social life.

How can it be prevented?

Do not scratch your scalp or use combs etc. to pick the scalp. Using any such tools will often worsen the scenario. The scalp is very sensitive; the hair products that you use can also irritate the scalp. Avoid using blow dryers.

Diet plays an important role. Make sure your diet contains vitamins E, B6 and B12, selenium and zinc. Flaxseed oil and oily fish also said to help prevent dandruff as they are rich in Omega 3 Fatty acids. Red meat like Mutton, Beef and pork should be consumed in moderation.

When should I see a Doctor?

If your scalp isn't getting better with these recommendations, or if it's red, inflamed or painful, then you must see your doctor to get it examined and treated.

ü  Assessment of body’s metabolic efficiency

ü  Assessment of nutritional status

ü  Assessment of stress levels.

Each individual’s metabolism is unique to his/her physical make up and behaviour. Metabolic rate can be affected by some diseases and also some drugs; common ailments like thyroid disorders and drugs like antidepressants etc. can affect metabolic rate.

Vitamins and minerals play a vital role in growth of the hair and deficiencies can lead to change in hair texture, brittle hair and eventually hair loss. Vitamins like Vit A, Vit B, Vit E and minerals like copper, zinc and magnesium contribute in healthy hair. Proteins are equally important for hair growth and strength.

Chronic stress can lead to shift of hair from growth phase into a falling phase. Stress can also reduce the nutritive flow to the hair causing hair loss. Thus reducing stress by adapting stress relieving techniques can improve hair vitality.

A New Vision for Good Health with Homeopathy!

 Homeopathy cures diseases naturally. There are two primary reasons behind it.First, the concept of Homeopathy is based on harnessing the body’s capacity to rejuvenate itself rather than depend on just external sources of medicine. Second, Homeopathy prescribes medicines extracted from nature, like plants, herbs and minerals which enhances its trustworthiness.

Homeopathy today is second only to modern medicine (allopathy) in terms of adherents, or followers, worldwide (500 million according to WHO- World Health Organization).

 Homeopathy isn’t actually what most people imagine it to be. It is, in fact, a revolutionary system of energy medicine.

     Latest advancement and research has found that genes have a significant role in protecting human body from day to day sicknesses. The distinctive capacity to restore lies within the genes. Genetic and environmental factors are involved in development of a particular trait (disease feature).

     Thus a detailed study of expression of genes will help us to design strategies to combat future illnesses, by making adaptation at the cell level by administration of correct Homeopathic medicine & by making specific environmental changes.

COMBATING FUTURE ILLNESSES WITH HOMEOPATHY

  The research has found that genes make a substantial contribution in protecting human body from day to day illnesses as the unique ability of repair lies within the genes. The study of human genetics can be useful in understanding the diseases and devising of effective disease treatments. It is possible, in today’s emerging medicine by genetic testing, such as through the use of DNA arrays or full genome sequencing for the prediction of disease years to decades before any disease even exists. This can help in instituting preventive measures in order to either prevent the disease or eradicate it.

    Similarly after studying the expressions of the genes and human behavior a variant of possible disease pathology can be predicted much in advance before the individual manifests the symptoms of that particular disease pathology. Example: People who are oversensitive, anxious, getting irritated easily are programmed to show inflammatory response like allergic rhinitis, skin eczema etc similarly some having different fears in them, grief from past offenses are programmed to show constructive pathologies like skin warts, increase in blood pressure etc. Individuals who shun their loved ones, gets violent anger are programmed to show destructive changes in body like skin psoriasis, ulcers and so on. Thus by using these latest techniques we can certainly restore health even for diseases we are programmed to suffer in the future by selecting a correct Homeopathic remedy which would stimulate the body to repair itself.

       In many diseases, having the faulty gene still does not necessarily mean someone will get the disease but also dependent on environmental factors. Genetics and environmental factors (eg. stress, physical, chemical) are involved in development of a particular trait. Example: A person may have a genetic variant that is known increase his risk of developing COPD from smoking –an environmental factor. If that person never smokes COPD will not develop. Thus this detailed study will help us to design strategies to combat future illnesses, by making adaptation at the cell level by administration of correct Homeopathic medicine and also by making specific environmental changes.

POWER PROTEIN HAIR DIET

Hair is composed mainly of the protein keratin. Keratin refers to a family of fibrous structural protein.Keratin is the key structural component of hair. Nutritional deficiencies & specific protein deficiencies can contribute to increased hair shedding by weakening hair shafts that cause breakage to the hair and slow regrowth. . Principal nutrients that are involved include vitamin A, certain B vitamins, the vitamin biotin, vitamin C, copper, iron, zinc, protein, and water. Foods that are derived from animals are high in proteins and increases keratin production. Best sources include cod, shrimp and tuna. Other sources include halibut, salmon, turkey and beef.Potential sources of keratin include legumes, such as kidney beans and lentils. Other sources include nuts; seeds and whole grains. Vegetables do not contain a large amount of protein. However good choices include mustard, greens, spinach, cauliflower, soybean corn, oats, peas and peanut butter which are good sources of high protein.
