What is Psoriasis?
Varying in severity, psoriasis is a condition characterized by itchy, red patches on the skin. Its causes are not clearly defined but the condition is believed to be a type of autoimmune disease. Psoriasis doesn’t just affect the skin. It can also have an impact on the cardiovascular system and be a contributor to cancer, Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and cardiovascular disease.
Psoriasis can be aggravated by stress and dietary choices. According to the Chinese, psoriasis is caused by heat in the blood, blood deficiency and Qi and blood stasis, although women can experience menstrual & pregnancy associated psoriasis, too.
