Psoriasis is a chronic
(long-lasting) inflammatory skin condition that is partly caused by an
overactive immune system. The exact cause of psoriasis is unknown. However, it
is clear that the immune system, environmental factors, and family history can
play a significant role in triggering this condition.
The immune system is
somehow a trigger, which can cause a series of consequences in the future,
including inflammation and acceleration of skin cell growth. Instead of falling
off (shedding), the cells pile up on the surface of the skin, forming psoriasis
plaques. This action causes the skin cell growth up to 10 times faster than
normal. Instead of shedding, these skin cells pile up on the surface and form
red patches, or lesions, called plaques.
Psoriasis is characterized by sudden
or gradual development of reddened, thick, itchy patches of silvery scales
(raised layers of dead skin flakes) that cause mild to intense itching, usually
in the elbows, knees, scalp, hands, trunk and/or nails.

for normal liver functioning, which is very important with the patients with
psoriasis because in large number of cases there is also a metabolic syndrome.

eliminates free radicals, revitalization and regeneration of the cells and
strengthens the body immune system.
— Bee
wax is put on major joints like knee or

-The 10 % propolis ointment that
contains salicylic acid, propolis, vitamins.
If psoriasis is perceived as
a metabolic disorder, then with the regulation of body weight, blood pressure,
