Calcipotriene for psoriasis

@birdman518 I too have been looking for naturopathic treatments, but it seems steroids are what keep all autoimmune conditions at bay.

If I find a non-steroidal treatment I certainly will let you know. In the meantime, if your psoriasis gets itchy you could try Flexitol serum. It eases the itching somewhat, but really does nothing for my flakey skin. I eventually had to give in to Betamethasone lotion (which I applied with a cotton makeup removal pad) for my very itchy and flakey scalp. It’s a steroid, of course - but it cleared it. I don’t use it as long as the skin is clear, and only apply it when it starts getting white and flakey.

Most of us have an unhealthy endocannabanoid system. 90% of doctors know nothing about this system, which is too bad because:
"In fact, the relationship between the dysregulation of endocannabinoid pathways and psoriasis development has been demonstrated by several different studies. For example, elevated levels of anandamide in the plasma, increased activity levels of fatty acid amide hydrolase and monoacylglycerol lipase in granulocytes and upregulation of GPR55 has been associated with potential involvement in endocannabinoid dysregulation of psoriasis patients."

Omega 3 fatty acids work well for bringing your endocannabinoid system back to health.
I figured this might be a different avenue to go down.
