Topical Chinese Herbal Medicine for Psoriasis
 
Herbal Consultation for Psoriasis by E-Mail

 

 

 

 

Psoriasis is not simply a topical condition. It is rooted in "internal dryness".


In most cases, Chinese herbal medicine can offer help to people

with this condition.

 

 

 

Causes of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is called SONG PI XIAN. When it appears in dotted form it is called BAI BI.

It is said to be caused by malnourishment of the skin due to Blood Dryness.

Such dryness can be caused by Invasion of Pathogenic Wind or by Heat.  

"Heat", in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), refers to both heat you can

measure, like a fever, or heat you can't measure - like hot flashes. Heat is also

inflamation, hyperactivity, or over stimulation.

 

 


Treatment of Psoriasis with Traditional Chinese Medicine
by Dr Zhu Zhi Qiang from Journal of Chinese Medicine

 

1.
Flaming of heat-evil at the qi and blood levels combined with wind

2.
Blood-heat and Blood-stasis
3.
Toxic-heat and Blood-stasis

Erythema and scales appear continuously, expanding and spreading throughout the skin of the body. The lesions are flushed and swollen. The scales are easily shed when scratched. Itching is sometimes intense.

Generalized symptoms may include aversion to heat, restlessness,
thirst, a bitter taste in the mouth, sore throat, slight
fever, constipation, and yellow and scanty urination. The
tongue is reddened or dark red with a thin yellow or white
coating, and the pulse is rapid and taut or slippery.

• generalised erythematous lesions.
• aversion to heat.
• intense itching and thirst.
• taut, slippery and forceful pulse.
• a crimson or red tongue with a yellow coating.


Clear heat, resolve toxins and expel wind.

The skin lesions are less severe than in the first type and the swelling is not as pronounced. The course of the disease is slow, with new lesions appearing sporadically.

Psoriasis lesions of this type are usually purple red macules that are moist and covered by a thick layer of tightly adhering
scales.

• the lesions are moist and the macules a purple red colour.
• the macules are covered by scales with new lesions appearing sporadically.
• slippery pulse, red tongue with a yellow coating.

 

 



Remove pathogenic heat from the blood, regulate the circulation
of qi and resolve toxins
.

The lesions are dark red or hyperpigmented and covered by
dark, thick, hard and adherent scales. Occasionally, the scales are rough like an oyster shell. Long-standing lesions
may overlap, causing the skin to take on a map-like appearance.Sometimes these large lesions may be affected by itching, pain and fissuring. In some cases, the joints do not function properly. The lesions persist for a prolonged period
(tens of years).

• large thickened psoriatic plaques.
• stubborn lesions.
• dryness in the mouth.
• constipation.
• deep-slippery and forceful pulse.
• purple red tongue with a yellow and greasy coating.

 



Clear heat and promote diuresis, remove blood stasis and
resolve toxins.
