Can acupuncture help with Psoriasis?

Yes, acupuncture can indeed help with Psoriasis. Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that results in red, itchy, and scaly patches on the skin. It is a result of an overactive immune system and can be triggered by a variety of factors such as stress, skin injuries, or certain medications. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), including acupuncture, has been used for centuries to help alleviate the symptoms of psoriasis.

Acupuncture, in particular, is believed to help in reducing psoriasis flare-ups by activating the body's natural painkillers and increasing blood flow to the skin. This can help to reduce inflammation and promote the healing of the skin. In TCM, psoriasis is often seen as a problem of 'heat' and 'dampness' in the body. Acupuncture points are selected that are thought to cool the blood and clear dampness from the body.

However, it's important to note that while acupuncture can help manage the symptoms of psoriasis, it is not a cure for the condition. It should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that includes lifestyle modifications such as diet and stress management.
