Psoriasis and Natrum muriaticum

Psoriasis is a common, chronic and non-infectious skin disease characterised by a disorder of keratinisation with slightly raised, dry erythematous macules with silvery scales and typical extensor distributions. The basic defect is rapid replacement of epidermis in psoriatic lesion. The exact etiology is unknown; it is generally believed to be a heredo-familial disease brought on by physical and psychic stress.

Diagnosis is based on family history of psoriasis, typical morphology, distribution and histopathology of the lesions, history of previous attacks and seasonal variations.

Generally psoriasis is considered to be not curable but homeopathy offers speedy recovery. Though there are dozens of drugs indicated generally for psoriasis, I have observed that Nat-m. is the usual one.
