Psoriasis is a chronic dermatological disease characterized by the formation of dry, red spots (papules) raised above the surface of the skin, which merge to form plaques. Psoriatic plaques occur more often on friction and pressure areas of the body - elbows and knee folds, buttocks. But they can appear anywhere, including the skin of the scalp, palms, soles, external genitalia.
To date, psoriasis is considered an incurable disease. Timely and adequate treatment can only improve the condition and quality of life of patients, prolong the period of remission, but does not eliminate the disease itself. However, in the absence of treatment, psoriasis can lead to disability. One of the most effective and affordable alternative treatments for psoriasis is the use of celandine.

Purity in psoriasis is used both as an external means, and for internal reception. Given that psoriasis is a hereditary disease, celandine can be used as a preventive agent. But more often the celandine is used already when the first signs of the disease appear.
