Psoriasis is an autoimmune, non-contagious, inflammatory difficult to cure disease of skin of unknown cause with tendency to recur, characterised by well-defined erythematous plaques with silvery scales.

It could be caused due to various stress factors like sudden shock (death of loved ones, accident, betrayal, disappointment in love, financial loss, failure in business, examination or promotion) or prolonged psychological stress (separation/divorce, loss of property, discord in relation, frequent quarrels, suppression of emotions, problems, pre-marital or marital adjustment problems, frequent anger, court litigations, property dispute, anxieties regarding children, business, health, fear of disease especially cancer).

Application of Steroidal/Non-steroidal ointments and lotions gives temporary relief but causes suppression/palliation of symptoms while it can be cured by Homoeopathy. Homoeopathic drugs are prescribed taking into consideration causation, mental and physical symptoms of a person i.e. on holistic basis.
