From The vancouver Sun

Last night, I spent some time googling the term "psoriasis treatment" to see what would come up.

As many can tell, I truly love nature and all it's abundance. Even as a youngster I was fascinated by the wildness around me, wondering to myself what was edible and what was medicine.

A couple weekends ago when my Mentor Mazin Al Khafaji (Considered to be one of Europe's most respected Dermatologists) was lecturing in my home town of Vancouver, B.C, he was asked what his most commonly used herb was. The answer was Sheng Di Huang, which is considered the king of the blood cooling medicinals.

When it comes to dermatology, the Traditional Chinese and Western Allopathic approach are quite similar at first glance. Both rely on describing the identifiable morphological changes visible on the skin. Both systems identify the same primary lesions of disease, using descriptive terms like papule, pustule, vesicle, bulla, macule, etc.

A few weeks back Dr. Lorne Brown, the clinical director of Acubalance Wellness Centre, interviewed me on how I use skin to help me diagnosis fertility problems. Have a listen to the podcast.

CONCLUSION: QZLXD is remarkably advantageous in treatment of psoriasis vulgaris of blood-heat syndrome and improvement of patient's quality of life. The mechanism may be related to decrease in serum VEGF level and action against neogenesis of blood vessels.

CONCLUSION: Serum level of EGF might be an important factor related to the progress of psoriasis.

CONCLUSION: TCM and integrative medicine are effective in treating PA, with lesser side effects.

CONCLUSIONS: Together, these findings indicate that the anti-psoriatic effects of indigo naturalis are mediated, at least in part, by modulating the proliferation and differentiation of keratinocytes, with indirubin as the major active component.
