A 48-year-old female patient suffers from chronic inflammatory skin condition, psoriasis. She has tried multiple treatments with limited success and is interested in trying alternative remedies. What might be suggested?
Topical turmeric, in the form of creams or ointments, or oral supplementation could be considered as an adjunct treatment. Curcumin has anti-inflammatory properties which may help to reduce the inflammation and scaling associated with psoriasis.
