Conventional approach vs. Homeopathic approach:
Conventional approach
Physicians or Dermatologists usually prescribe local steroids or systemic drugs capable of directly minimizing skin-cell reproduction and controlling plaque formation. They do not help in correcting the mechanism responsible for the excessive shedding (plaque formation) and therefore requires to be taken for a life time. Excessive dependency may result in poor tolerance and the dosage of these drugs is often increased over time. Numerous side effects like liver damage and photosensitivity are associated with these drugs.
Homeopathic approach
Our body constantly strives at bringing about normalcy by responding to changes it perceives reversible. In psoriasis and in most chronic ailments our body fails to respond appropriately due to a weakened state. Homeopathic medicines help by improving our body’s (immune) innate response and guide the body back to a healthy state, naturally.

What is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis is a non-contagious, chronic skin condition that produces round, dry skin patches of varying size that are covered with white, gray, or silvery-white scales. Remissions and exacerbations are commonly experienced in most cases. Between four and five million American adults have the disease, and more than 150,000 new cases are diagnosed every year.
Normally your skin sheds its layers every 25-30 days. In psoriasis the affected lesions shed ever 3-4 days resulting in a buildup of silvery scales. The dry scales penetrate your superficial skin layer resulting in itching.
Causes of Psoriasis
There is no definite cause of psoriasis; however there is evidence of an autoimmune response in which the body's immune system mistakenly targets its own healthy cells.
Predisposing factors:
- Genetic predisposition: A positive family history may predispose you to be affected by
this condition
General aggravating factors: These are responsible for aggravating or causing the lesions to reappear:
- Physical & Emotional Stress
- Seasonal changes: Winter months may cause an increase in dryness and may
aggravate psoriasis
- Environmental factors - Skin irritants, local trauma, infections, alcohol, steroid
withdrawal etc.
Myths & Facts
The first MYTHS: Psoriasis has no cure
FACT (Based on the thousands of case treated at our centres):
Psoriasis can be cured if treated early and when the condition is limited to a few patches. Even chronic, widespread lesions can be cured or put into remission. There is no need to lose hope as homeopathy has helped thousands of cases at HRD centres, over the past 25 years.
Every case is different and is an opportunity for us to learn the obstacles while curing this condition. We have been refining our method of treating this stubborn, so called ‘incurable ailment’ periodically, over the past 25 years.
The second MYTHS: Psoriasis is contagiou
FACT: You can be assured that you will not communicate this condition merely by touching someone. Though not contagious, your child may be predisposed (genetics) to this ailment. We do recommend that children be treated as soon as possible in order to have a complete chance or recovery and cure.
The third MYTHS: Corticosteroids are effective
FACT: Corticosteroids can be effective initially. However, they are not effective in the long term and may produce several adverse effects such as: skin atrophy, hypo-pigmentation, stretch marks and systemic absorption. Also, withdrawal of topical corticosteroids can lead to a rebound phenomenon with worsening of the condition.
The forth MYTHS: Natural skin creams are useful against psoriasis
FACT: External creams only help in lubricating the dry plaques and offer temporary relief. Majority of creams labeled as ‘natural’ or ‘herbal’ may contain coal tar derivatives, salicylic acid etc which are not herbal forms.
Steroids & Skin Diseases
Corticosteroids can be effective initially. However, they are not effective in the long term and may produce several adverse effects. Some of them are: skin atrophy, hypo-pigmentation, stretch marks and systemic absorption. Also, withdrawal of topical corticosteroids can lead to a rebound phenomenon with acute worsening of the condition.
