10 Home Remedies for Psoriasis and How to Avoid Triggers

Oat or Salt Bath

If you have psoriasis, taking a shower or bath for too long would strip the skin of the oil and worsen the symptoms. To relieve the symptoms and bring a soothing feeling, consider adding Epsom salts or colloidal oatmeal to a warm bath. According to previous studies, these products contain certain components that help keep the skin moisturized and reduce inflammation. Another simple option is to wrap a wet dressing with oatmeal or Epsom salt to alleviate itching. After bathing, make sure to apply a moisturizer to prevent the loss of moisture on the skin. [4]
