A Journey to Naturally Healing - Psoriasis

After 4 weeks of feeling like my skin was ready to crack open and seeing no progress, it seems like my skin is finally calming down. I’m seeing some clearing on my arms but the rest of my body looks the same but feels so much better. During those four or so weeks I couldn’t servive without having ebsom baths every two days and lathering up on cream. I did go back to simplifying my diet. Every time I add something and think it’s safe when I really don’t actually know, my skin either reacts or the healing progress is slow at best. Like the tea I was adding to my slippery elm bark powder. I know it’s gluten free but it does have citric acid. So did the V8 juice I was drinking in order to get more veggies in my system. I don’t know if that was causing a flair up but I did read of one psoriasis sufferer who said they were sensitive to vitamin C. Further research lead me to this article you might find interesting. http://www.healwithfood.org/psoriasis/can-citrus-fruits-trigger-eczema-pso...

Hi all! I know. I’m off to a reeealy slow start but when I’m not taking care of my four little crazies, doing book work for hubby or styling it up in the salon, then I’m researching the daylights out of this acidic vs alkaline, heal my gut, “free my skin” diet. Sooo, I’ll start with a few before and afters and then share some teas and supplements everyone in “healing yourself” land is raving about. After reading of some supplements in Dr Pagano’s book and reading testimonies on inspire.com I decided to give it a go. First on the list is slippery elm bark tea. Ya. Not the tastiest. But extremely  beneficial to healing the gut. Slippery elm coats and protects and helps new formation of the mucous membrane that protect the intestinal walls. It also coats the digestive track. This tea is usually taken in the morning a half hour before or after breakfast.  Personally for me it’s not so much the taste that makes it undesirable but more the texture. If left sitting too long...
