Clinical Definition of Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a common and chronic skin condition that speeds up the life cycle of skin cells. It causes cells to build up rapidly on the surface of the skin. The extra skin cells form scales and red patches that are itchy and sometimes painful.

Symptoms

  • Red patches of skin covered with thick, silvery scales
  • Small scaling spots (commonly seen in children)
  • Dry, cracked skin that may bleed
  • Itching, burning or soreness
  • Thickened, pitted or ridged nails
  • Swollen and stiff joints

How Does Salt Therapy Assist Psoriasis?

Salt balances the body’s Ph levels and increases the regenerative process of the skin while reducing the localised inflammation. Salt therapy increases the body’s ability to absorb microscopic salt particles via the skin. Salt is a natural antihistamine, antibacterial and anti inflammatory. This stimulation increases skin elasticity and can result in improvements in the skin’s protective properties and increase the superficial bacterial flora (the good bacteria). Private sessions are available for those wanting to remove larger items of clothing.
