Oregano Leaf, ground w/ mortar and pestle, strained with cheese cloth, apply to skin for Psoriasis
How goes it good people!
My mother had a nasty case of Psoriasis and sought out answers here on Earth Clinic as she really struggled with the pain, discomfort and embarrassment that the Psoriasis on her face was causing. We tried a few remedies that we found here but they didn't have any significant effect. But when I took raw Oregano leaf from the produce section at our local grocery store and ground it up with a mortar and pestle then strained it through cheese cloth which left only the potent liquid she had immediate relief and results. She applied the liquid directly onto her face which produced a cooling sensation and the next day there was a significant reduction in the painful red and itchy patches. It had a direct effect on the affected areas. She is pretty much free of it now but occasionally random patches will pop up on different parts of her body possibly stress induced but for the most part it's gone.

I tried this several months ago and it did not have any effect on my psoriasis but I have read other reports of this working for people. I believe it really matters what type of p you have and the reasons behind it. Oregano leaf if basically a natural antibiotic and anti- fungal. It is very effective for many things. (If you have hormone balance problems beware and pay attention to your body as it can have some effect on you.)
I noticed in your long list of ailments, psoriasis was not mentioned. Please let people know that Oregano Leaf absolutely gets rid of psoriasis in a big way. I have battled psoriasis since I was 10 yrs old (I'm now 48). I had heard that oregano leaf and olive leaf were good for infections so one day, I started taking them both. Within a week my skin was so clear my husband commented. I started wondering what I had done differently. I had taken olive leaf before with no visable result so I started investigating the oregano. There are MANY resources out there on psoriasis and oregano leaf, and also, that psoriasis is mainly caused by a fungus (which oregano goes after). I personally buy OregaMax since other oreganos have not worked for me. People should know about this!! It is wonderful. Three to five capsules a day (divided) should do it. I got my initial results simply taking 1 both am and pm.
