How to Use Turmeric for Scalp Psoriasis

Learn how to use turmeric for scalp psoriasis to naturally treat your skin!

To naturally heal your skin, learn how to use turmeric for scalp psoriasis!

Psoriasis is an autoimmune disorder that affects the skin. In a person with psoriasis, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s skin cells, causing them to regenerate at a rapid rate of 3-4 days, yet healthy skin cells take 28 days to regenerate!

Now scalp psoriasis can cause even more physical and emotional distress in individuals. It looks like reddish white patches on the scalp. And the worst part is that it itches like crazy!

More and more people with scalp psoriasis are starting to use natural remedies to avoid chemicals in commercial psoriasis creams. This is because the chemical ingredients tend to aggravate psoriasis further!

Natural remedies work very effectively in treating scalp psoriasis! One of the most prominent natural remedies for psoriasis is turmeric! Research shows that it has been proven to successfully treat psoriasis and relieve its symptoms. Some of the studies that show turmeric is very useful for psoriasis are:

  • Study 1: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26016607
  • Study 2: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23825622
  • Study 3: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26066761

Both topical and internal use of turmeric works well for treating psoriasis, whether it’s on the body or scalp, as you can see from the studies above!

Below, let’s look at how to use turmeric for scalp psoriasis:

How to Use Turmeric for Scalp Psoriasis

1. Drinking ‘Golden’ Milk

Golden milk is simply a mixture of turmeric, whole milk and honey with a dash of pepper. Ayurveda considers drinking turmeric in milk and adding black pepper to it to be one of the best remedies for optimum health. It boosts the immune system, fights infections and beautifies skin, among others.

To make golden milk, heat up a cup of whole milk. Now add ¼ to ½ tsp of turmeric powder, a pinch of powdered black pepper and raw honey to taste. Consume this every night before bed.

2. Taking Turmeric Supplements

Although the above golden milk drink is possibly the best way to consume turmeric for good health, you can also just take turmeric supplements. Buy good turmeric supplements and consume them daily to combat psoriasis and reduce flare-ups. Remember to take the turmeric before/with/after a fatty substance like milk, coconut oil or ghee. That’s when it’ll be readily absorbed into the body. Black pepper also makes turmeric more bioavailable!

3. DIY Turmeric Lotion for Scalp Psoriasis

You can even make a soothing and antibacterial lotion for scalp psoriasis with turmeric! Here’s the recipe:
