Psoriasis is one of the most common skin problems yet the most difficult to deal with. Conventional medicine offers no permanent cure for this chronic condition, but, as this book demonstrates, there is hope for sufferers in the range of holistic therapies now available. The author, as a result of learning to control her own psoriasis, co-founded The Alternative Centre. It is the first holistic clinic for psoriasis sufferers, and this book reveals all the self-help options she gives to her own clients. The information here includes advice on products (from washing powders to shampoos), clothes, diet, stress and choosing the right treatment. The book also addresses psoriasis in children and teenagers as well as its link with PMS, pregnancy and menopause.
