10 Home Remedies for Psoriasis and How to Avoid Triggers

Tea Tree Oil

It has been found that tea tree oil contains many antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory properties. Anecdotal evidence shows that it can be a safe option to treat psoriasis. A direct application to the skin is all that you need to alleviate the symptoms. Nevertheless, there have been no official studies on the safety or effectiveness of tea tree oil on psoriasis treatment. Certain individuals have even reported allergies, which may cause burning, swelling, irritation, redness, or rashes. Thus, make sure to be aware of these problems and talk with your healthcare provider before applying tea tree oil for treating psoriasis. [7]
