The first alternative way to treat your psoriasis is to soak in a tub filled with sea salt and water. Soak in this mixture for a half an hour a day. It is great for your skin and it removes plaque scales. Immediately after drying off, apply a good moisturizer to all areas affected with psoriasis.
A second method to treat scalp psoriasis is to soak a rag in apple cider vinegar and apply it to the affected areas. This is an inexpensive remedy and a great many people swear by using apple cider vinegar to treat psoriasis. If you wet your hair with apple cider vinegar before bed, put a shower cap over your head so you can sleep. So if you want to try it, make sure you use "apple cider vinegar". (not a different kind)
A third alternative way to treat your psoriasis is to mix together: 50% aloe vera gel and 50% garlic oil. Once it is mixed together, apply it to all areas affected with psoriasis.
A fourth home remedy for psoriasis is to take vitamin D supplements. There are a lot of people that have psoriasis who have a major vitamin D deficiency. Check with your doctor to make sure that you don't have a vitamin D deficiency. If you do have a vitamin D deficiency, taking vitamin D supplements can diminish your psoriasis symptoms.
A 5th method that is worth trying is OTC cortisone creams. you can find these in any pharmacy or grocery store. If you haven't tried using cortisone, it is worth trying.
