I have been just diagnosed with Psoriasis. What should I know about Psoriasis and its treatment?

There is no short cut to curing Psoriasis. Local creams or lotions help only for a short time and one should ask ones doctor about the 'long term nature and treatment' of this disease before starting any therapy.

What is the strength of homeopathic treatment?
Homeopathic medicines treat Psoriasis very effectively, reasonably fast and without side effects.
If I am on the conventional treatment, can I still start with homeopathy?
Yes.
I was taking cortisone as prescribed by my local doctors.
Now, the problem is that whenever I stop it, my Lichen Planus flares up. What is
the solution?
Cortisone is the most commonly prescribed medicine for Psoriasis but
unfortunately, it is not the most curative medicine. The problem with the use of
cortisone is that it gives temporary relief, as long as you use it. Another
difficulty created by cortisone is that the disease comes back after stopping
cortisone. Third problem is that the resurfaced diseases is more difficult to
handle that when it started, as it becomes resistant.
During the course of the treatment of any disease in which cortisone in any form
is used, the major challenge is to handle that period of cortisone withdrawal.
Homeopathy certainly helps but it takes time; and it may not be as fast acting
as cortisone. The patient has to endure the phase created due to cortisone
withdrawal. Slowly, homeopathic medicine takes control of the situation by then
the patient may not need cortisone. This may take time. The amount of time it
takes to overcome cortisone withdrawal syndrome depends on the following points:
a. Amount of cortisone used b. Duration of cortisone use c. Severity of disease
d. Duration of the disease.
Patient's awareness about this fact and active cooperation helps us to overcome
this crisis and treat the disease.
Are there side effects of homeopathic medicines?
No. Not at all.
Do they interact with the conventional medicines?
No. Homeopathic medicines can be safely taken with the conventional medicines.
If I am on some other medications such as drugs for diabetes, hypertension, etc.; do I have to stop them while on homeopathy?
No. You can continue all other medicines for other diseases if you start with homeopathy. Homeopathy does not adversely interact with the conventional medicines.
When do I start seeing improvement after starting homeopathy medicine?
Most patients start observing improvement within eight weeks. The entire treatment may go on for about four to twelve months depending on several factors.
What is the success rate in treating Psoriasis with homeopathy?
Our study has shown success rate of over 85% in treating Psoriasis.
Is Psoriasis curable for ever using homeopathy?
It is hard to say that any chronic disease may get cured for ever. It can certainly be stated that homeopathic treatment can take psoriasis into a long (disease free) remission, without any side effects. Some people may not get it for decades, while some may have a relapse which may again call for treatment.
Can homeopathy treat Psoriatic arthritis?
Yes, it can. The length of treatment may be longer. Also, if some deformity has taken place, homeopathy cannot revert the deformity.
What are homeopathic medicines prepared from?
The homeopathic medicines are largely sources from minerals, herbs, chemicals, etc. More information available at http://www.e-psoriasis.com/app/ingredients.asp
How much time does homeopathy take to cure my Psoriasis?
The length of time depends on the factors such as duration of Psoriasis, its extent, and the underlying cause, the affection of skin or scalp or nails or joints; or two of more of them. Most patients are treated for about four to eight months. Every patient may have different response patter.
