Question:
My wife received for Christmas an expensive looking book with above titleby a Henry C Lu Ph.D who can be contacted at http://www.tcmcollege.com inVancouver BC.I naturally looked up "psoriasis" and the only reference is shown below. AsI am unimpressed with the results of conventional "Western" medicine forpsoriasis, I thought it might be worth sharing with others what I found inthe book. This is NOT a recommendation for the treatments but at least theyare probably not likely to cause harm--unlike many derms "help". I believethe Hipocratic oath starts with "First cause no harm". Start of quoteTreatments for Fungus Infection, Scald, Tinea Corporis and Psoriasis * Cut up and crush 250g fresh ginger and soak in 500ml of white (rice) winefor 2 days. Use a cotton ball to apply externally to the affected region, severaltimes a day. * Crush peeled garlic cloves: mix with sesame oil or lard to make anointment. Cut the hair in the affected area before application, once a day and apply externallyregion. * Mix 20g whole cloves with 70 percent alcohol to make 100ml. Apply externally to the affected region. *Apply vinegar to the affected region, 3 times a day. Or fill a plastic bagwith vinegar and tie bag around hand overnight to heal greyish nails. *Boil a few eggs and remove the egg white; fry the yolks until dried and burned; mix yolks with boiling water so that yolk oil will float to the surface. Cool it and use to rub the affected region.End of Quote I certainly find Apple Cider Vinegar to be useful 3/4 cup in a warm bath and soak in it for 20 minutes One table spoon of ACV mixed with juice taken internally 2 times per day I imagine the garlic cure would be best used by hermits only. Remember that "western" docs were using leaches until fairly recently! I personally use a Traditional Chinese Medicine Psoriasis Balm daily to goodeffect I naturally looked up "psoriasis" and the only reference is shown below.
