Psoriasis.
There are 5 types of psoriasis known today. The most common form of psoriasis is a disease
with symptoms in the form of red spots covered with silver-white incrustation of dead skin
cells. Psoriasis can appear on any part of the body and is connected to other grave illnesses
like diabetes, heart diseases and depressions.
Symptoms and diagnostics
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease that causes red, scaly spots on skin. It appears most often
on the outside of elbows, knees or on head skin, but it can also appear at any place on skin.
Some patients with psoriasis report itching similar to a burn or insect stings.
Diagnostics
In 95% of cases the consulting physician can diagnose psoriasis visually. Psoriasis can look
similar to eczema but there are several differences:
Psoriasis patches have clear, round outlines; with eczema they are usually flat and
less sharply marginated.
Eczema usually appears in specific places, which is not typical for psoriasis: front part
of a knee or behind knees. Psoriasis appears more often on the outside of knees and elbows,
hairy parts of the head, lower parts of the back, face, hands, and feet soles. It can also appear
in other places: finger nails, toe nails, genitals and mouth.
By biopsy sampling, skin with psoriasis looks thicker and more inflamed
comparing to skin with eczema.
Your physician should also ask you about your familys history of psoriasis. According to
statistical studies of dermatologist Dr. Paul Yamauti at Dermatology and Skin Care
Department of Santa Monica Institute, California, the USA; about one-third of psoriasis
patients inherited it from their parents.
Psoriasis Treatment
Psoriasis treatment is of crucial importance for good management of the disease and general
well-being. Regular consultations with a physician will help cure the disease by choosing a set
of measures to reduce or remove the symptoms. What works with one person with psoriasis
may not work with another one. Thats why it is important to know several treatment methods
and keep trying until you find the right treatment regimen and strategy for you.
There are several psoriasis treatment methods in current dermatology practices.
Grave psoriasis cases (biological intervention)
Treatment by (bio-) medical products injected, for example, intravenously. These medical
products are based on proteins obtained from live cells cultivated in a laboratory. The
appearance of new molecular engineering methods accelerated the use of biomedical
products in current medicine. This method is different from traditional systemic agents that
affect the whole immune system. Biomedical products are aimed at particular parts of the
immune system. Biomedical products used for treating psoriasis work by blocking the action

of a particular type of immune cells; the T-cells. They do this by blocking the immune system
protein tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) or interleukin 12 and 23.
Topical (local) treatment
This kind of treatment means prescribing medications that normalize cellular overgrowth and
reducing inflammation for the affected areas. The most commonly used medications are
corticosteroids (hormones). Vitamin D3 and vitamin A (retinoids) are also used.
Phototherapy or light treatment.

Phototherapy, or light treatment, includes the systematic treatment of skin by ultraviolet

radiation under a doctors supervision. The treatment is carried out at the a doctor's
consulting room, at hospital specializing in psoriasis treatment, or at home with the help of
special equipment. The main key to success is consistency.
The National Psoriasis Fund does not support using solariums as an alternative to
phototherapy which should be carried out by prescription and under a doctors supervision.

Traditional systemic treatment.

Traditional systemic treatment consists of prescribed medications that affect the whole
body. They are usually used for people with moderate, or grave, forms of psoriasis or
psoriatic arthritis. Systemic treatment is also used with those who do not respond to (or
who are unable to receive) topical treatment or ultraviolet light treatment.
Additional and alternative treatment methods.
Currently many patients with chronic diseases including psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis have
interest to additional and alternative treatment methods. These methods are mainly
focused on preventing itching and soreness. According to the National Center for
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and the National Center for Health
Statistics (division of Center for Disease Control and Prevention) more than one third of
Americans (36 percent) use additional and alternative treatment methods. These methods
include nutritional care, phototherapy, and such alternative methods affecting a human
body like aromatherapy, yoga, physical exercises, and Tai Chi.
Most of these treatment methods do not have scientific evidence in medicine. However

some of the methods are worth paying attention and after consultation with the physician
can be successfully applied in psoriasis treatment.
One of alternative and very effective treatment methods is the use of herbs and plant
extracts.

Before taking any herbal medicine for your psoriasis please consult your physician. Some
herbal medicines can have a harmful interaction with your usual drugs. Aside from this, you
cant take some herbal medicines if you are pregnant, lactating, or if you have diseases like
diabetes, high blood pressure, psycho-emotional disorders.
Israeli professional laboratory ONmacabim has developed a conceptually new
approach to psoriasis treatment.
Two new medications called PS MED REGULAR CREAM and PS MED FORTE CREAM have
been developed specially for reducing and sometimes the complete removal of psoriasis and
atopic dermatitis. These two medications are intended for external application and consist of
a group of ingredients that have centuries-old record in treating skin with psoriasis.
The first group of ingredients are oils. They soften, moisturize, and recover skin (olive, sesame,
grapefruit seed, jojoba, wheat germs, almond, Shea, primrose, castor, lemon, tea tree,
lavender, rosemary, pine, sea buckthorn, and chamomile oils). Tea tree, pine, rosemary oils
have antiseptic, recovering, disinfecting, and anti-inflammation properties. Peppermint, and
camphor oils have refreshing, tonic effects.

Hollyhock, chamomile, olive leaves, sage, marigold extracts have immune-stimulating

properties and contain many antioxidants. Opuntia Ficus Indica and garlic extracts contain
phenols and flavonoids maintaining activity of antioxidant defense enzymes, in particular,
superoxide dismutase destroying free radicals that damage cell membranes; mucus, vitamins
, , , 6, copper, zinc.
Salicylic acid enhances the oils synergy and effectively removes inflammation. Salicylic acid
stimulates epithelium regeneration accelerating the scaling off of dead cells, optimizing skin
thickness, and restoring barrier functions and collagen synthesis.
The Dead Seas salt is the richest source of the most valuable minerals and micro-elements
that have existed from the time that life originated on the Earth. Human lymph and blood
contain micro-elements that are composed of most important sodium, potassium,
magnesium, calcium, and bromine ions similar to that of the Dead Sea salt. So using the
Dead Sea salt, with its unique minerals and micro-elements composition, is close to the
chemical composition of human lymph and blood making it an indispensable condition of
a bodys healthy functioning.
Propolis (bee glue) has anti-bacterial, anti-toxic, anti-inflammation and an anesthetic effect
stimulating the bodys defenses against various infections. It also contributes to tissue
healing and regeneration.

Application: apply the first or the second medication to problem areas at least twice a
day. The FORTE cream has been developed for graver psoriasis cases.

PS MED C.P.R.
Intensive agent for Couperosis and Rosacea PS MED C.P.R.
The new development of the laboratory ON Macabim, Israel is intended for the intensive
treatment of skin with Couperosis and rosacea symptoms. Hamamelis, chamomile, hollyhock,
plantain, aloe, camellia, marigold work together to effectively sooth skin, and reduce
reddening directly after applying the medication. One of the main active ingredients is
bioflavonoid Tiliroside, which belongs to a huge group of plant metabolites whose valuable
properties have been known for centuries. In nature, Tiliroside is found in the coat of young
leaves of some plant species. Various tests have confirmed that the Tiliroside medication
reduces visible reddening (capillary visibility). Studies have also shown that Tiliroside
decreases the level of other harmful substances, such as KaKTNF-alpha and interleukin-12
related to inflammation. The ability to inhibit histamine release makes Tiliroside a powerful
cosmetic ingredient for all types of skin with high reactivity.
Horse chestnut extract has anti-inflammation and anti-edema action, improves microcirculation in the strengthening of blood vessel walls, and activates removal of liquid from
hypoderm. Immortelle removes inflammation. It is recommended for treating skin diseases
and irritations. It removes itching, reddening, and peeling. It also helps remove bruises from
the skin. It is useful for relieving pain and reddening after sunburns. Troxerutin has venotonic,
angio-protective, anti-inflammation, anti-edema, and antioxidant action.
Cypress oil, being a natural fragrance, is an anti-histamine (relieves itching, nettle rash) and is
effectively used for improving couperosis and varicosis states. A selection of oils (jojoba,
borage, grape seed, flaxseed, Shea, eucalyptus, lavender, sea buckthorn) intensely softens,
moisturizes, recovers skin, improves its look, fights the first signs of photo and chrono aging,
as well as restores hydrolipid barrier.

Application: apply to cleansed skin at least twice a day.

PS MEDICAL serum for growing lashes and eyebrows RISIM and GABOT
These two products are based on the components synergy creating a lasting outer effect.
When used regularly, these serums not only improve the outer look of lashes and
eyebrows, but also stimulate the growth of hair bulbs. Chamomile, hollyhock, rosemary,
plantain, olive leaves extracts contain the required composition of micro and macro
elements for intensive nourishment and antioxidant protection of hair. Olive, almond,
primrose, jojoba oils envelop hair providing it with additional gloss, soften it and prevent
hair breaking. Pelvetia and Laminaria extracts contain cells similar to human skin cells. Due
to high content of isoflavones, Pelvetia restores skin cells activity, has moisturizing action,
stimulates production of collagen, and prevents the loss of elasticity. Hydrolyzed keratin is
a mixture of polypeptides and free amino acids, contains arginine, sulphur, silicic acid. It is a
product of acid, alkali or enzymatic hair keratin hydrolysis with subsequent neutralization,
excluding enzymatic degradation. Millet extract, lecithin, sorbitol accelerate tissue healing
and regeneration, skin cell renewal, and hair follicle cells. They stabilize cell membranes,
enhance cell metabolism, stimulate cell proliferation (division), and strengthen hair growth
and volume, providing lashes and eyebrows with healthy and natural gloss.
