Making use of acupuncture to aid your psoriasis may seem unusual, and indeed, this ancient Chinese practice is not used in China itself to treat psoriasis, probably since the condition is rare there. However, as science and nature have failed to discover a cure for psoriasis, and the fact that some swear by the use of acupuncture for psoriasis that can help them calm the lesions an plagues, maybe this natural alternative is worth trying.
Severe psoriasis affects around 2% of the population in both the USA and Australia. There is also approximately 20% of the population struggling with a mild to severe degree of this disorder. In addition, thousands of new cases are documented each year making psoriasis a major problem globally. The precise cause is unknown, but it is known that this condition doesn’t just affect the upper layer of skin; it is very likely to be related to malfunctions in the immune system that causes certain cells to become overactive.
Acupuncture uses thin, long needles that will be inserted in the body at specific points along a ‘network’ of signal pathways that correspond to the problem area. This may or may not involve treatment in an affected area that can help resolve the problem. Signals will be diverted by acupuncture to where they need to be.
Although Western acupuncture practitioners advocate the practice in the management of psoriasis, there is not much scientific evidence to support it. This may often be because of individual differences in how psoriasis exhibits in one person in contrast to another. Sadly, it’s a case of trial and error in an effort to calm your condition.
Should you be looking for a fast cure, then go elsewhere, as you will require a number of consultations to find out whether acupuncture for psoriasis works for you. The good news of course is that there are no side effects, unless of course you have an aversion to needles that could put your blood pressure up or cause an anxiety attack! If this is you, you may be relieved to know that the practice is frequently now carried out using electric currents and small probes instead of needles. This more recent technique is considered just as effective as needles.
So, for those who have run out of options I recommend that you give acupuncture for psoriasis a try. Personally, although I haven’t tried acupuncture at all, I’d choose the modern-day electric current version. Then again, I’m a wimp!
