Psoriasis

[Guest guest]

I am a 3rd year student at Dallas College of Oriental Medicne. I am

presently researching Psoriasis for a term paper. Does anyone have a

good rescource for treatment with TCM? I have found only a few and

would like to involve more input. I have treated a 17 year old female

in the clinic, she did get substatial improvement with acupuncture

and herbal decoction (internal and external application). However

teenagers being what they are she had a hard time staying on the

regime and discontinued treatment when she had aproximately 80%

improvement with hair returning to affected lesion sites and

reduction in itching with overall improvement in underlying

condition. This is a very disheartning condition from both a WM and

TCM perspective. What can we do to help??

Any input is much appreciated.

Thank you
