Natural Home Cures Himalayan Crystal Salt May Eliminate Acne and Psoriasis Problems

Both acne and psoriasis are conditions of the skin but they are characterized by different symptoms. Acne is essentially a bacterial infection of the pores whereas psoriasis is caused by the improper activity of skin cells which results in flaky and scaly patches of skin. The trace element nickel may help with the inflammation in skin conditions such as dermatitis. Since inflammation is present in both acne and psoriasis, nickel may very well remedy both of these conditions by reducing the inflammatory response. Sulfur may also be helpful in remedying these conditions as it is required for the formation of healthy skin cells. Further, silicon is thought to help with dry skin, which is a symptom of psoriasis but not necessary a symptom in of acne (although it may be). Molybdenum may help those suffering from acne and psoriasis by increasing the oxygenation of the skin. Molybdenum helps the body utilize iron more efficiently. 

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) revealed that an estimated 7.5 million Americans suffer from psoriasis,⁽¹⁾ a chronic, autoimmune skin disorder that causes flaky and thick patches of red skin. The scaly patches, also known as psoriatic plaques,⁽²⁾ are areas of inflammation and excessive skin production. The problem starts when the body's immune system transmits faulty signals that hasten the growth cycle of skin cells, resulting in thickened patches with the characteristic silvery-white appearance.⁽³⁾ Psoriatic plaques are often seen on the skin of the elbows and knees, but they can develop in any area including the scalp, palms of the hands and soles of the feet and even in the genital area.

Psoriasis is not contagious, although, its cause is not yet fully understood and may have a genetic component. Local psoriatic changes can be caused by an injury to the skin, also known as the Koebner
phenomenon.⁽⁴⁾ Experts have attributed a number of environmental factors that can aggravate psoriasis including stress, excessive alcohol intake, withdrawal of systemic corticosteroid and smoking.⁽⁵⁾ To date, many treatment protocols are available, but because of the chronic and recurrent nature of the disease, it poses a challenge to successfully manage.

Over the past decade, studies have led to the development of targeted therapies.  Research has been done on how immune cells such as dendrocytes and T cells travel, and how they make use of cytokines to communicate with each other. There have been two medications that specifically target T cells, namely alefacept⁽⁶⁾ and efalizumab.⁽⁷⁾ Which work by blocking the molecules that dendritic cells use to interact with T cells. However, it has been found that both pose serious side effects that appear to be worse than psoriasis itself. In fact, the FDA recommended the suspension of efalizumab from the market in the U.S.⁽⁸⁾ and in the European Union because it had been found to induce bacterial sepsis, invasive fungal disease, viral meningitis and progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy.⁽⁹⁾ As for alefacept, the list of potential side effects include infections, malignancies, lymphopenia, hepatic toxicity, among others.⁽¹⁰⁾

There have been several other medications and suggested treatment regimens to counter the effects of psoriasis but they are still far from being considered definitive cures. There appears to be a significant variation among patients in terms of the effectiveness of certain psoriasis treatments. Consequently, dermatologists frequently employ a trial-and-error approach which can not only be expensive but quite stressful for the patient. Recently, psoriasis sufferers were gifted with a new ray of hope from nature, a highly promising treatment, adjuvant at the very least, in the form of the Himalayan crystal salt.

Natural Home Cures Himalayan Crystal Salt Is The Purest Salt In The World

Most people have heard of this amazing salt that has been harvested from the heart of the Himalayan Mountains. Formed over the last 250 million years, it is regarded as the purest salt in the world, untouched by any contaminants and pollutants. For thousands of years, the Himalayan salt has been used as the major constituent in various skin care products and it has received worldwide acclaim for its remarkable medicinal properties.

Addressing the underlying cause of acne is to restore a healthy pH balance, therefore, the most important factor in choosing a treatment is to utilize something with natural qualities. It’s very simple: the more natural the better. Any treatment that has any chemical or mineral that does not occur naturally in nature will have side effects and can often cause more damage than they repair. For example, most acne creams will use an active ingredient such as benzoyl peroxide, to dry the affected area. While this can be effective in the short term, daily use can lead to excessively dry skin and can also cause ‘rebound’ effect as a result. This means that when you stop using the product a large number of pimples will be produced very quickly. However, using Natural Home Cures Himalayan Crystal Salt will dry the skin naturally all allow it to absorb the beneficial nutrients. 

For psoriasis treatment, a combination of Natural Home Cures Himalayan Crystal Salt with mineral or purified water can be taken throughout the day to prevent the flare-ups of psoriatic plaques. This brine solution provides a detoxifying effect on the skin and helps absorb minerals easily. Brine baths have been proven to help moisturize dry, scaly skin and to help stop inflammation. This brine therapy works well when combined with an alkaline diet as well as restraint from consuming animal proteins. The alkaline diet typically includes fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables, all root vegetables, mushrooms, olive oil, potatoes and herb teas.
