How to Treat Psoriasis Naturally
Do you struggle with psoriasis, a skin condition marked by red, itchy, scaly patches? You’re not alone—according to recent statistics, 2-3% of people worldwide have psoriasis. With the understanding that the mind, body, and spirit are all connected, to treat psoriasis naturally, you cannot ignore the spirit, especially if you’re empathic. While listening to one of my favorite podcasts, Shaman Durek described why the condition occurs and how to treat psoriasis naturally:
Are you an empath?
Empaths are able to understand and feel what another person is experiencing. And if you’re empathic, psoriasis could be a symptom of having too much outward input, meaning your energy is emphatically incorrect. On an energetic level, you’ve subscribed to the idea that if you don't do something, something bad is going to happen. And this goes back to childhood—any moment where you thought something bad was going to happen and you couldn't stop it. This creates an adverse reaction inside of your body and the nerve discharge results in inflammation, creating the skin boils or splotches.
People are responsible for their own emotions
One way to heal psoriasis naturally is to start monitoring your empathic abilities, making sure that you're not feeling responsible or taking on other people’s energies. If someone is emotional around you, it’s not your responsibility to take on their emotions. In fact, they’re allowed to have their emotions without you feeling the need to fix it, change it, or rearrange it.
If someone says to you, “You made me feel like this and you made me feel like that,” remember that it’s not possible. You’re just showing up as you are. It’s not your responsibility to take care of everyone else’s feelings. They are responsible for their emotions and how they react to other people and their circumstances. They’ve chosen a lower-vibrational emotion and attributed it to you, which is not correct.
Communicate your feelings
Make sure to communicate emotions as they show up, not days or weeks or months after the fact. When you allow other people's energy to settle and fester within you, because you're trying to protect them by thinking that you’re going to hurt them in some way by expressing your own feelings, that’s when you’ll notice psoriasis show up. Communicate your feelings to them (you could try writing them a letter, painting, or whatever way you prefer to release it), and it should begin to clear up.
Take a bath and calm the f* down
Another way to treat psoriasis naturally is to take a bath. Really soak your body. It will drop the energy in your heart and let you relax. Your cortisone levels will drop, your body will start to decompress, and your skin wont flair up as much. Also, experiment with taking turmeric and other natural remedies that are anti-inflammatory in the body. Try cutting out things like cheese or dairy products.
Take care of you
It’s about finding the balance. Remember, psoriasis is the symptom. You shouldn’t focus on the symptom, heal the core issue.
