Are you curious about who's using Chinese medicine for psoriasis and what their experiences have been?
Several MyPsoriasisTeam members have explored Chinese medicine approaches for managing their psoriasis symptoms. Here's what they've shared:
Members Using Curcumin/Turmeric:
- One member made golden milk with turmeric, hoping it would help reduce flare-ups
- Another member takes two turmeric capsules daily
- A member exploring curcumin reported finding some relief with it
Members Using Indigo Naturalis:
- One member has been using Indigo naturalis for a few weeks after finding medical treatments didn't work well for them, reporting it's going well so far
Members Using Capsaicin:
- A member found capsaicin cream very effective but recommended applying it with gloves due to the burning sensation
- Another member tried it on their knees but couldn't handle the burning, which intensified during showers and kept them awake
Members Trying Traditional Chinese Herbal Formulas:
- One member stopped taking traditional Chinese herbal formulas after a few months with two different formulations because they didn't see improvement, though they acknowledged they might not have taken them long enough
Important Considerations:
It's worth noting that Chinese herbs are typically used as complementary treatments alongside prescribed medications rather than replacements. The FDA doesn't regulate most herbs and supplements, so it's essential to talk with your dermatologist before adding any Chinese medicine to your treatment plan to avoid potential interactions.
