What Is Psoriasis?
Psoriasis according to the National Psoriasis Foundation is a skin condition characterised by an immune deficiency in the body producing red, scaly, itchy patches of irritated skin. It’s mostly on the knees, elbows, hairline, and even on the scalp. In some people it can appear anywhere on the body and isn’t limited to certain areas. Scientists aren’t sure where this disease comes from, other than the immune connection in the body. Genetics may be a factor as well that’s being studied to pinpoint where the disease comes from. Certain triggers can make bouts with the disease worse, causing severe flare-ups. Sometimes lifestyle changes and diet can help to curb the symptoms.
What are symptoms of Psoriasis?
Its symptoms are dry red skin lesions, known as plaques, covered in silver scales.
They normally appear on your elbows, knees, scalp and lower back, but can appear anywhere on your body.
The plaques can be itchy or sore, or both. In severe cases, the skin around your joints may crack and bleed.
Not everyone will get all of these symptoms
Why Salt Therapy Or Halotherapy can help.
other than seeing an immunologist, you can also seek help with Halotherapy. Salt based treatment a few times a week can help prevent the flair-up from occurring. Less frequent bouts of the rash caused by psoriasis can mean better looking skin overly. Plus, you’ll feel less itchy and the irritated patches will improve over time. With an unlimited package from the Halo Salt Centre you can commit to as many treatments in the salt therapy rooms as you need. You’ll notice right away if your skin improves. The reason it’s so effective is that the salty air kills bacteria, its an anti-inflammatory, and can reduce the lgE levels, so the immune system is less susceptible to outbreaks. In a way your body becomes more tolerate of the disease, so that your triggers aren’t causing the problem to occur in the first place.

“During a typical adult session customers put their feet up in a comfortable chair rest or read and breathe in a dry salt aerosol. The micro particles are blown in the air by halo generators. In our separate children’s room kids can play with toys except with salt on the walls and floor and play while breathing in the dry salt air.” 0330 113 6342 or BOOK NOW
