by Laura Dolgy (see bio below)
If you didn’t already know, psoriasis affects as many as 125 million people worldwide. It is known as a chronic autoimmune disease that is characterized by thick skin plaque that cause itching, scaling and pain. If you’re suffering from psoriasis, then we know how difficult it can be to find a proper natural treatment that actually works. This week, we’re sharing our top 9 natural remedies for psoriasis.
Please keep in mind that although these recommendations might relieve psoriasis, we are in no way medical professionals. If you’re experiencing severe psoriasis symptoms like fever or an infection, it is best to seek medical advice immediately. It’s also important to seek medical attention immediately if you begin to suffer from psoriatic arthritis.
1. Moisturize
The first step in treating your itchy and possibly painful psoriasis is by keeping skin calm and moisturized. Although this skin condition is an auto-immune response, it’s important to keep skin well hydrated.
Organic Manuka Skin Soothing Cream
The hugely popular Organic Manuka Skin Soothing Cream is extremely moisturizing and perfect for psoriasis and quite a few other skin conditions due to its wound healing abilities. Not only is it anti-bacterial, but its rich, nutrient ingredients like Manuka oil, Manuka honey and beeswax help keep plaque and scaling under control.
Emily Skin Soothers Soap with Chinese Herbs
For an alternative to drying, harsh soaps, keep your skin moisturized with this Emily Skin Soothers Soap. It’s both rich and fatty and won’t irritate the skin further. Plus – it won’t sting or burn, which makes it a great option for psoriasis.
Do you have scalp psoriasis? This gentle soap can also double up as a shampoo. Or try the body wash instead for the body and hair.
Organic Aloe Vera Skin Soothing Spray
If you haven’t tried soothing your psoriasis with aloe vera, then you should definitely start! Not only is aloe vera great for relieving itchiness, but it is also a refreshing and cooling treatment. Looking for the absolutely most natural option, pick up an aloe vera plant at a local flower shop. But if that’s not an option, try this Organic Aloe Vera Skin Soothing Spray which is perfect for relieving itchy body psoriasis. Its non-greasy formula makes for a great scalp spray too.
To further beat the itch, try popping this spray into the refrigerator overnight. It will feel great on your scaly, itchy skin!

2. Wet/Dry Wrap Therapy
If you haven’t looked into healing your psoriasis with wet or dry wrap therapy, then look no further. Many psoriasis sufferers have felt relief from these two therapies. For more information on wet wrap therapy, make sure to check out our post: Our Eczema Trials: Wet Wrap Therapy. Alternatively, for dry wrap therapy, take a look at our blog post: Our Eczema Trials: Dry Wrap Therapy.
WrapESoothe Body Bands for Kids & Adults
If you or your little one are experiencing psoriasis on arms or legs exclusively, then these WrapESoothe Body Bands for both children and adults are just the ticket. These bands work exceptionally well for wet wrapping, as they help balms and creams penetrate the skin for full relief.
GoumiHat
If your little one is experiencing cradle cap – which is a form of baby psoriasis – then make sure to check out this GoumiHat. Just like the body bands above, this hat can be used in both wet and dry wrap therapy. The bamboo/cotton fabric blend is both breathable, antimicrobial and prevents scalp scratching.
SkintoSkin Clothing
If you’re looking for clothing that does not exacerbate your psoriasis symptoms, but rather calms the skin, make sure to check out this SkintoSkin clothing line that features zinc, silver and algae. There are a variety of clothing pieces for babies to adults such as baby onesies, leggings, sports bras, shirts, boxers and much more. Like the products above, all these pieces can be used for wet and dry wrapping.
3. Reduce Stress
A huge trigger of psoriasis tends to be stress. There are many different activities and hobbies you can take on to help reduce and manage your stress levels such as yoga, meditation and exercise. Getting a professional massage can also help reduce your stress!
4. Phototherapy
Similarly to eczema, psoriasis can be relieved with UVB phototherapy. Similarly to natural sunlight, this ultraviolet light penetrates skin and slows the growth of affected skin cells.
If you are thinking of treating your psoriasis with phototherapy, it is very important to seek medical attention first to conclude whether this treatment is appropriate for you.
5. Eating Well/Elimination Diet
If you are not eating properly and notice that your psoriasis is flaring up from certain foods, then you need to start thinking about healing from within.
For some great ideas on adopting a new diet to heal your psoriasis, consult these blog posts that discuss diets for eczema. Although a different skin condition, the same diets can be applied to psoriasis with great results for your skin and overall health.

How Eczema Helped My Family Move To A Clean Healthy Diet
If you also believe that your psoriasis might be affected by certain foods, make sure to check out our blog post: Our Eczema Elimination Diet Success (How You Can Do It Too!).
6. Homeopathy
If you’re interested in alternative medicine, then you might want to check out homeopathic medicine. Similarly to eczema, homeopathy can be successful in healing psoriasis.
To learn more about homeopathy and how it works, make sure to check out our post: How Does Homeopathy for Eczema Work? Although some of the remedies might be different for psoriasis, you can expect the same type of consultation and treatment.
7. Essential Oils
If you’re dealing with itchy, uncomfortable patches of psoriasis, essential oils can be used to provide some relief. It’s important to remember that essential oils aren’t recommended as a primary treatment, but instead as a compliment to your regular treatment or regimen.
Different types of essential oils for treating psoriasis include tea tree oil, castor oil, lavender oil, geranium oil, and many others [1].
8. Bathing
To soothe psoriasis pain and itching, taking warm (never hot) baths can help. However, it’s important to make sure the water is lukewarm and to limit bathing time as well.
To soothe skin even more, try pairing your bath with a natural soothing soap like Emily Skin Soothers Liquid Soap or this Conqueror Oatmeal Bath for Eczema that contains Colloidal oatmeal as well as dead sea salt, vitamin C, baking soda and coconut milk powder. Just never, ever sit in soapy water, which will severely dry out and irritate the skin. Use the soap at the end of your bath, immediately rinse off, towel dry and apply a good rich moisturizer like the ones listed above.
9. Natural Supplements
Lastly, natural supplements have shown to be effective in easing psoriasis itching and pain. Vitamins such as vitamin D can counteract the body’s response to inflammation present in psoriasis. This Vitamin D by Pure is top quality and in a very clean, allergy free liquid formula, which we love.
Read more about Vitamin D.
Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to actually decrease inflammation and it seems they also have a positive impact on the body’s immune system. However, there is somewhat mixed research on whether omega-3 fatty acid supplements can help reduce the severity of psoriasis [2].
Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in many foods such as fatty fish and algae, but you can also properly supplement as well. We like Nordic Naturals for Kids and Adults.
Psoriasis may be a tricky skin condition, but it doesn’t mean that it needs to consume your life. For more resources and research on psoriasis, make sure to check out the National Psoriasis Foundation.

7 DIY Home Remedies for Eczema
Another great post from itchylittleworld.com – Natural remedies for eczema to soothe your itchy little world..
By Laura Dolgy (bio below)
Does this sound like a familiar story? You’re at home, enjoying dinner when all of a sudden you start to notice an eczema flareup beginning on your neck. It’s Friday night and although you can wait until Monday to search for an eczema treatment, you need something you can find relatively quickly to stop the itch.
If you’ve ever been in this situation – you’ve come to the right place! This week, we’re sharing various DIY home remedies for eczema that are both natural and can be made with simple ingredients you can find at your local health or grocery store. No need to wait until Monday to get relief!
Please keep in mind I am in no way a medical professional. If you’re experiencing severe eczema or have a topical infection, it is always best to seek medical advice immediately.
1) Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
If you have mild eczema, applying a light layer of virgin coconut oil twice a day can heal the affected skin. In severe cases, you may have to apply a thick coat of this oil and wrap it with a wet bandage, so that it has the chance to permeate the skin. Read more about wet wrap therapy here.
Extra virgin coconut oil has also been proven successful in eliminating eczema scars, stretch marks and keratosis pilaris. It can also double up as a cooking ingredient!
2) Honey
Honey, particularly Manuka Honey, is good to use if you want to reduce eczema flare-ups and scars. It has anti-inflammatory properties that can help facilitate wound healing. After washing the affected area, apply honey directly on your skin. Cover with a bandage if using straight honey as it can be sticky and messy. And don’t try this for children under two years of age due to the risk of botulism.
If you have sensitive skin and need extra exfoliation, you can mix it with sugar and gently scrub your skin with the mixture for a few minutes. However, you should be careful if you’re experiencing a severe flare-up. Scrubbing already sensitive, cracked and perhaps oozing skin is not always the best idea.
If you want all the benefits of honey, but not the sticky mess it can make, try this Organic Manuka Skin Soothing Cream, which contains olive oil, manuka honey and manuka oil. It’s known for healing eczema wounds, reducing the appearance of eczema scars, while helping soothe and provide anti-inflammatory effects to flared skin.
3) Magnesium Bath
This recipe comes straight from Wellness Mama and it’s the perfect skin healing mixture for those with eczema that can stand bathing. These types of baths are great, as they are a relatively cost effective and an easy way to help find eczema relief.
Ingredients
- 1-2 cups of epsom salts or magnesium flakes (magnesium flakes are absorbed much more easily)
- 1/2 cup Himalayan salt (if you have it on hand)
- 1/2 tsp of natural vanilla extract
- 10-15 drops of essential oil of choice, try lavender or mint!
Directions
Add to bath and relax!

4) Face Eczema Serum
If you’re experiencing face eczema and need quick relief, coconut oil or honey can work really well. But if you’re looking to try something really light, but still moisturizing, this DIY face eczema serum from Mommypotamus is a great alternative to chemically ridden face serums on the market.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons rosehip seed oil
- 6-12 drops (or a combination of) one of the following essential oils:
- carrot seed
- sweet fennel
- geranium bourbon
- neroli

- or try one these essential oils for eczema.
Directions
Add rosehip seed oil and essential oil drops to a serum container or mini spray bottle. Shake to mix all ingredients together. You can spray this along your face or neck before bed and in the morning as well.
This DIY serum is great for those suffering from eczema because rosehip seed oil promotes collagen and supports scar healing. Not to mention that it soothes eczema and psoriasis. For more information on this serum and other Mommypotamus eczema home remedies, check out her blog!
If you’re suffering from facial eczema and do not have the time to buy your own ingredients, both Organic Aloe Vera Skin Soothing Spray and Calendula Facial Cream are great alternatives. The soothing spray is a non-greasy, vegan formula that contains both aloe and calendula for quick healing. It can also be popped into the refrigerator for a cool and soothing treat. On the other hand, the facial cream contains Rooibos leaf that is anti-inflammatory, which helps reduce allergic responses and histamine release.
5) Homemade Face or Baby Wipes
If you’ve ever taken a look at the ingredients in wipes, you probably noticed that there are many preservatives and synthetic cleaners – not mention the baby wipes we have in North America are banned in Europe due to their chemical ingredients. Yikes! To whip yourself up a bulk of natural wipes is quite cost effective and very easy!
This recipe was sent to us and is a great alternative that can be customized based on specific allergies or skin types. Also perfect for eczema skin – it won’t burn!
Ingredients & Supplies
- 2 cups water
- 2 tbsp baby wash
- 2 tbsp oil or lotion of your choice
- 2-4 drops tea tree oil (optional)
- 1 roll of Select-A-Size Paper Towels, cut in half (don’t remove from cardboard core) or Reusable wash clothes.
Directions
Just whisk the water, baby wash and oil/lotion together. Add a few drops of tea tree oil too to give it some antibacterial & antiseptic properties.
If using paper towels as wipes:
- Place the mixture into an old baby wipes container or a container like this one.
- Put the paper towels, cut side down, into the mixture.
- Once the paper has absorbed the material, you’ll be able to take out the cardboard core.
- Pull the paper through the container and voila! Natural baby wipes!
If using reusable wash clothes:
- Simply add the mixture to a spray bottle and spray onto a wash cloth.
6) Sea Salt Spray
