What is psoriasis and can it be cured?

Psoriasis is a skin condition that can appear on any part of the body. It’s long lasting (chronic) and causes red, flaky patches of skin covered with silvery scales. Psoriasis is thought to be related to problems with the immune system and causes an over-production of cells. Skin cells are normally made and replaced every three to four weeks, but in psoriasis this only takes three to seven days.
There is no cure for psoriasis but treatment can help improve the appearance and symptoms of skin patches.

What's the recommended treatment routine?

It's important to remove as many irritants as you can and to keep skin well hydrated. We recommend you use the Healing Body Bar and Healing Shampoo Bar to calm skin and scalp and give relief. Then intensely moisturize using the Everyday Peony Root Moisturiser or the Peony Lotion and treat areas of psoriasis with one of our Skin Remedy creams. Choose from the High Factor Peony Root Skin Remedy, Peony and Calendula Skin Remedy or the Peony and Manuka Skin Remedy.

What's the best product for scalp psoriasis?

Our Healing Shampoo Bar will soothe your scalp and help heal. You can also rub the High Factor Peony Root Skin Remedy directly onto your scalp for extra relief. We recommend doing that at night and then washing your hair and scalp with the Healing Shampoo Bar in the morning.

What makes Pure Peony products effective?

This is the only range using certified organic peony root. Peony root has been used for centuries and is scientifically proven to be immune balancing as well as skin calming, anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory.
The peony root extract we use in our range reduces psoriasis symptoms like itchiness, redness and flakey skin through the active ingredient Paeoniflorin.
