Psoriasis herbal remedies, Chickweed.
Chickweed ointment is soothing and cooling, and reduces the itching and irritation of psoriasis. Chickweed tea or crushed chickweed can also be used as a poultice for the same effect, and in combination with cleavers, this effect is enhanced. In addition, chickweed tea can be used as a rinse on the scalp where an ointment wouldn’t be advised because of the difficulty of applying it through the hair; or added to the bath. Eating chickweed in a salad or drinking the tea will also provide zinc and Vitamin A, both of which are recommended for the treatment of psoriasis.
