Q. Does acupuncture help with psoriasis?

A.

A randomised controlled trial examining the immune regulating effect of acupuncture in psoriasis patients has been reported.

📝 Detailed Answer

A randomised controlled trial examining the immune regulating effect of acupuncture in psoriasis patients, and a cohort study examining the immune regulating effect of herbal medicine in psoriasis patients, have been reported.

We regard psoriasis as a condition to manage rather than cure. It repeats improving and worsening, and fluctuates with stress, infection and the seasons.

We do not needle directly into the lesion. It has the property of forming new lesions where the skin has been scratched or irritated, so we avoid that part.
