In my case, internal body detoxification with the help of healthy diet, physical exercise, balanced life style and use of some household herbs has been the driving force to manage my psoriasis. I have quit taking any kind of medicines or using any topical ointments since almost a year and I am 75-80% clear now.
December and January used to be super chilled months here in New Delhi. Winter would be at peak in these two months and if you have Psoriasis, then you must be knowing that your psoriasis would make you cry most in winters. But now even in peak winter, I have very mild flare ups and the duration of these flare ups is hardly a day or two.
I am really enjoying all this!
So, I am putting few food items; a combination of vegetables, fruits and herbs which would accelerate the body detoxification process NATURALLY in a relaxed fashion. The best thing about this list of food items is that they all taste good. So, if you want a mild detoxification without torturing yourself with those nasty fasting cycles 🙂
Here goes the list:
1. Turmeric – Come on..Do I need to explain here again how good turmeric is for psoriasis?
If you are a regular reader of my blog, then you must have gone through that post I have dedicated to benefits of turmeric for psoriasis. Check that article below:
Turmeric benefits for PsoriasisÂ
2. Apple – “An apple a day, keeps the doctor away”Â
Heard it before?
Yes, this sweet fruit is equally good for psoriasis as well. Apple juice fast is considered very effective way of body detoxification. Fortified with fibers, especially pectin would help in cleaning intestinal tract effectively. Be cautious eating SWEET apples only. Don’t eat those greenish colored half ripened sour apples at all.
Dr.John Pagano’s famous natural diet regimen for psoriasis treatment also starts with a 3 day applies diet for detoxification.
3. Garlic-Owing to anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of garlic, taking 1-2 fresh cloves of garlic is always recommended to psoriasis patients. High content of sulphur in garlic helps in liver detoxification by assisting in completion of sulfation process to flush out toxins for thorough liver detoxification.
4. Lemon-Here again, all the amazing benefits of lemon for psoriasis have always been discussed in previous posts on this blog.Check them right now:

 5. Flaxseeds-Omega 3 fatty acid supplements are always recommended for psoriasis. Flax seeds are a well known healthy option for omega 3 fatty acids. Apart from that, Flax seeds contain soluble and insoluble fibers which would help in smooth bowel movements to eliminate all body toxins and residual cholesterol from your body. Flax seeds are rich in Manganese as well.Check the below article for more detailed information.
6. Coriander-Coriander or cilantro is one of the best known natural resource to detoxify your body from heavy metals like lead and mercury which could accumulate in your body with time. Apart from that, this green plant type vegetable aids in digestion and maintaining normal cholesterol levels.
