Of course, baths do not cure a disease such as psoriasis, but they can make life easier and improve the condition of the skin, as proven by the experience of forum members using baths. At home, you can take a wide variety of baths; the article will discuss those that are indicated for psoriasis. You can also learn about the experience of using these baths by participants in the forum “Psoriasis? Let's heal together! "

The optimal water temperature is from 36 to 38 degrees. Water of 39 degrees and above is considered hot and puts a greater strain on the heart.
A therapeutic bath is not a bath, therefore, in order for the skin to better absorb beneficial substances, you need to wash in the shower with soap.
The duration of one session is no more than 20 minutes. From prolonged exposure to water, the skin loses a lot of the fat it needs for normal functioning.
You should not take baths every day. It is best to enjoy a bath once every 2-3 days.
You can take baths no earlier than an hour after meals.
After a bath, it is advisable to apply a moisturizer (you can use a baby cream) on your body.

Contraindications for use shared baths: malignant neoplasms, pulmonary tuberculosis, cardiovascular failure, atherosclerosis, hypertension, severe forms of angina, diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, second half of pregnancy.

Salt (sodium chloride) baths

Salt baths are indicated not only for skin diseases, but also for diseases of the musculoskeletal, cardiovascular and nervous systems. A bath with salt tones and relaxes the body, relieves muscle pain, relieves fatigue, irritation, strengthens the nervous system, increases performance, and improves mood. In addition, this procedure activates metabolism, improves blood circulation, and promotes the healing of wounds and skin cracks.

For baths you can use regular rock salt or sea ​​salt without any additives (it is sold in pharmacies). The preparation of such baths is carried out according to the methods described on the packaging. Natural sea salt, dissolved in water, is harmless and contains components necessary for the whole body. So, potassium regulates the nutrition of skin cells, calcium ensures normal blood clotting, magnesium promotes muscle relaxation, bromine calms the nervous system, iodine acts as an antiseptic (a substance with antimicrobial activity). Sea salt settles on the skin and affects the nerve endings, due to which irritability disappears, sleep improves, and pain subsides.

Toliksh

Baths with sea salt help me a lot; I started taking them regularly six months ago. 2 kg per bath and you lie there enjoying yourself for 20-30 minutes, the result is good, the number of rashes has decreased, and there are no sharp exacerbations either.

dropt

I accidentally came up with this idea of ​​diluting ordinary table salt in the bath.
At first I added 1/4 of a pack, then 1/3...thus I reached 0.5 packs...I think it’s not worth saturating the solution above that. The water is salty, almost like the sea...it’s fresher)) I like to lie in the bath for a long time (an hour, an hour and a half)...I lie around regularly. Maybe it's having an effect. But the result is very pleasant. All plaques turn pale. Less peeling. And for some reason it goes away faster from the legs...it heals first in the center and this effect spreads to the edges.
I noticed another interesting point: when you take regular baths, a half-centimeter halo of redness forms around the spot, but if you use salt, there is no halo at all.
The first time I tried this “super method”), I first got into the bath and then began to dissolve the salt. As a result, I first turned red, and then began to turn pale, starting from the spot, i.e. forming a ring around the spot.
My skin simply dries out from the water (maybe it’s just the water in Tver), and from a salt bath it “gets oily”, i.e. become elastic, soft... in short, more saturated with moisture... and this effect lasts quite a long time.

aelena

I have been using salt baths for about 7 years now. I also take coarse rock salt in order to save money. I pour 2 kg onto the bath. I DO NOT rinse off. And I started swimming in salt baths after treatment in Odessa on the Kuyalnik estuary. I go there every year for 2-3 weeks.
I don’t know how much salt you need to pour into the bath to get water like in Kuyalnik, probably 10-15 kg, and possibly more, I haven’t tried it. Salt is very good medicine, I read that during the war of 41-45, when there was a shortage of medicines, salt dressings were used as a disinfectant, and as a reliever of inflammation, and as a wound-healing agent. Yes, don’t be surprised, it will take a while, and it will begin to heal!
After continuously salting myself, either at home or on the estuary, for 7 years, I reached a point where I can sunbathe on a public beach, AND NO ONE LEASES AT ME or runs away! There is a constant improvement, if we had known about the magical properties of salt earlier, the psor would not have spread so much! I can’t say that the 40-year-old psor has gone away completely, BUT the dots are small and pale on the body, they don’t catch the eye, the husks hardly fall off, and this winter (pah-pah) there was no exacerbation, wow!
Buy salt in hypermarkets, it’s cheaper there, 4 rubles per pack, and don’t take Extra, only grind No. 0 or No. 1.

MOTLEY

I've been trying pickling for the second month. The effect is not pronounced, but is present.
Small spots lighten and (ugh three times) try to disappear. Large ones lighten inside, but remain red around the perimeter.
In my case, the “experiment” was unnecessarily extended - I started with 500 g (the maximum dose according to the text on the package), then switched to 1 kg, now I use 1.3-1.5 kg of salt (sea pharmacy) for a third of a bath of water. It seems to me that we should have immediately not spared Russia’s salt reserves and dissolved a decent amount.
The process itself consists of maintaining skin contact with the saline solution, which is problematic due to the small size of the bath and considerable growth. For 30-40 minutes I work with a ladle, pouring salt water on myself and at the same time, as if washing myself (damn, complex turns), that is, lightly rubbing the skin with my palms.

Leopard

I tried different sea salts, iodized salts, and plain salts - the effect was the same. Now I use the following recipe: for a bath, a decoction of the string is about half a liter, 750g of regular table salt. Soak for no more than 1 hour, at the end of the procedure, after 10 minutes gradually cool the water to completely cold (at your discretion) after, without wiping, apply baby oil like Johnson's Baby (see advertisement) on the plaques or on the whole body - you won't ruin the porridge with oil . The effect is very positive and lasts a long time, unless, of course, anything is provoked.

Oatmeal baths

Oatmeal baths soothe and soften the skin, eliminate itching and irritation.

trioksan

Cool baths with oat straw decoction. The plaques fade for a long time and flake less. It's a pity, all the straw is gone. I cook oats with husks, that is, unpeeled. The effect is weaker, but still there. And after the bath - with Karavaev’s balm.

olyalukoe

I have already taken baths with rolled oats and olive oil several times.
According to the recipe, you need to brew rolled oats in a thermos until it looks disgustingly slimy, but since I don’t have a thermos, I just boil the rolled oats with a lot of water so that the resulting porridge looks as disgusting and slimy as possible. I dump all this porridge into the bath (the water should not be hot, just a comfortable temperature) and add a little olive oil. For no more than 20 minutes you need to lie in all this turbidity and gently rub it all into the skin. Then, without taking a shower, get wet with a towel and go to bed. It helps me a lot.
Another piece of advice for the time of remission. Contrast shower...from warm to cold, but without extreme temperatures, gradually lowering the temperature and so on throughout your life.

Angelapiter

And I, for example, put 10 tbsp in a bag. ordinary oatmeal and I put it on the tap and immerse myself in hot oatmeal water for an hour. While I’m lying around, I’m solving Sudoku - time flies by. The water from the oatmeal becomes kind of thick. Then I carefully remove the steamed skin with my palms, wash myself with soap (because you sweat like an athlete while lying down), and after drying yourself off, I wipe the entire body with this same bag of wet, steamed oatmeal. All these actions greatly moisturize the skin, the remaining flakes become thin and fall off on their own, and within 2 days I feel comfortable, then, of course, everything dries out again and I need an oatmeal bath. It is clear that this cannot cure PSOR, but the quality of life improves greatly.

Alexspa

I take ordinary gauze, fold it in half, pour about half a glass of oatmeal into it, lift the edges up and twist and secure with an elastic band, it turns out something like a ball with a tail, put this thing in the bathtub, fill the bathtub, pouring two packs of salt into it.
As I wrote alexius: “...I took two such baths yesterday and today, it felt great!!!”
The flakes in the gauze get wet and the “washcloth” naturally becomes soft, you don’t need to rub, you just run it over the plaques. I smeared the plaques on my head, strangely enough the hair did not stick together.
I only started adding oatmeal to my bath yesterday, and I’ve been taking baths with salt since April 13 (though sporadically), I’d like to note that:
1. The scales have noticeably decreased.
2. There is a pronounced tendency towards “comparison”, that is, to the touch they (plaques) are at the same level as the skin.
3. They do not crack or stain clothes with blood, i.e. they have become elastic.
As an additional treatment, pentovit for two weeks and on Wednesdays is a fasting day, I would also like to add Saturday.

Vahmurka

I took 10 oatmeal baths. I bought five 500 gr. packs of rolled oats. I did it using the above method. Daily 250 gr.
Pros: the plaques have turned pale, thinned, there is no crust, so the husks do not fly off, well, if just a little, there is no itching.
The only downside is that the plaques were still there.

ArFeya

Today I have taken 5 baths: the skin is soft, soft, even on sores, nothing breaks out, everything is smooth. Only they did not decrease at all, much less go away. I’m thinking, you can swim for a week, rest for a week, and then swim in Hercules again for a week. And it’s good for overall tone.

oksano4ka

Fitovanny

The concentration of the herbal decoction is made as indicated on the packaging (if indicated, of course). If you approach this matter on your own, you need to be careful so as not to cause harm, TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE PRESENCE OF ALLERGIES to some herbs.

Pouring into the bath herbal infusions liters in order to quickly achieve the result of their impact is a waste of money. The skin will still not absorb more than it needs. Recipe for success herbal baths- in their regularity. Phytovannas should be taken in courses of 10-15 procedures. 2 times per week

Smoker

If little things or plaques are scattered all over your body, then do this: in a bucket of water, brew and infuse a pack of string and a pack of coltsfoot or chamomile. Then pour it into the bath, add enough water to cover your feet, wrap yourself in a sheet and water yourself from a ladle. The sheet sticks to the body, soaked in the broth, and there is constant contact of the broth with the body. And sit like that for about 20 minutes. You need to take 7-10 baths. It helps a lot, I tested it myself during a very severe exacerbation

Catia

Baths with St. John's wort helped me a lot. A friend from the dacha brought me armfuls of freshly picked St. John's wort, which I brewed in a large saucepan (as much as would fit), poured it into the bath and read books, sitting in the bathtub until I froze.

Pine baths

Pine baths are prepared as follows. Dissolve 100 ml of natural liquid in 200 g of water. pine extract or one briquette (50 g), stirring thoroughly.

The water temperature in the bath should be 35–37 degrees. The duration of the procedure is 10-15 minutes.

Sometimes pine buds are used to prepare baths. They are taken at the rate of 50 g per 1 liter of water. The kidneys are boiled for 30–60 minutes in a water bath, filtered and poured into a basin at a water temperature of 36–38 degrees. Such baths are very useful for palmoplantar psoriasis.

After cooling the water to 37-38 degrees, immerse your hands or feet in the bath for 30 minutes. After the procedure, the arms or legs are wrapped and go to bed for 30 minutes. The procedure is carried out every 2 days. The course of treatment is 5–7 baths.

Dosage of pine-valerian baths: 50 ml of pine extract and 50–75 ml of valerian tincture.

The resulting mixture is infused for 24 hours and filtered through gauze. The filtered broth is poured into the bath.

These baths are used for weeping, exudative forms of psoriasis, when the disease is localized in large folds of the skin.

Baths with iodine, salt, soda and others

GEMINI

For 10 days I did salt-soda-iodine baths (a pack of salt, a pack of soda and half a small bottle of iodine). The bath turned out just great. Apparently the soda, as mentioned, softened the rest of the ingredients. Nothing is painted, iodine is not visible or heard at all after 5 minutes. I even drained the rest of the bottle at the end. It just feels like a hot bath. When soaked, the stains become slippery and the peel comes off easily. When finished, I smeared myself with olive oil.

Three out of ten days were missed due to technical reasons. All the spots have faded and have almost fallen off. The skin on the spots is red and slightly swollen, the cracking has disappeared. I thought that such an amount of salt would burn, but I didn’t observe anything like that. The cracking went away after a couple of days, but if you miss a day it starts to come back. Overall, the baths had a positive effect on me. But after the termination everything returned in the best possible way.

Alexis

I read the topic, read, laughed, laughed, and in the evening my mother-in-law showed me a newspaper with the article “How I cured my wife’s psor.” The recipe is this: for a bath you need a pack of salt, a pack of soda and half a bottle of iodine, and take it every day for the duration. 20 days. Psor left and never came again.

vist

I took baths with copper sulfate. Dissolve a full 3-4 heaped tablespoons of vitriol in warm water. Time - 15-20 minutes. There are approximately 6-8 baths per course, with a frequency of 2-3 per week. The only negative is an unnoticeable bluish coating on the skin, which stains the laundry a little and is more noticeable under the nails, but this all goes away quickly. Psoriasis has gone away almost completely (a few remaining plaques remain on the body). The remission lasted almost 5 years, even the birth of a child did not lead to an exacerbation. However, the second time such baths did not work; psoriasis did not react to them in any way.

If you think oatmeal is just a standard breakfast food, think again. The soothing properties of oatmeal can be used to treat itchy, inflamed and sensitive skin while replenishing moisture and essential minerals. Oatmeal is also great natural remedy for skin problems caused by plants such as poison ivy. To make an oatmeal bath, you can either add a glass of powdered oatmeal directly into warm water, or place a special bag of whole oats in there. In any case, it will only take a couple of minutes to prepare an oatmeal bath, and the discomfort it will relieve will not last for several hours. In addition, it will leave your skin feeling fresh and protected.

Steps

Add oatmeal directly to your bath

Grind the oatmeal into a fine powder. Place in a blender food processor or a coffee grinder about one cup of raw unflavored oatmeal. There's no need to complicate things: a regular package of oatmeal that you find in the supermarket will work just fine. Grind the oats until they have a very fine, powdery texture. This will make it easier for them to dissolve in the bath.

• The oatmeal particles should be very small - then they will dissolve in the water and not just settle to the bottom of the bath.
• If you're not sure if your oatmeal is chopped enough, try testing it by adding about a tablespoon to a bowl of warm water. If the water becomes a uniform, milky color, the oatmeal will dissolve in the bath.

1. Add oatmeal to your bath. Run a warm bath. Once the oatmeal is of a fine enough consistency (and thus successfully mixed with water), pour the powder into the bath as it fills. If desired, you can add other additions at this stage, such as whole milk to soften the skin, sea salt to exfoliate, and essential oils to hydrate the body and leave it smelling nice.

   Stir until the oatmeal is completely dissolved in the water. Move your hand over the bath water until the oatmeal powder and other additives are completely dissolved. The water will begin to take on a milky hue. This is a good sign that the oatmeal is evenly distributed.

   • Released oatmeal can create a thin film in the bathtub once it dries.

2. Soak in the bath for 15–30 minutes. Lie down in the bath. Oatmeal powder will make the bath even more slippery, so be careful. Relax and lie down until the water cools down to room temperature. If after this you feel that your body has become a little sticky, rinse under clean warm water after leaving the bath. Lightly pat the towel dry and ensure that the oatmeal is absorbed into the top layer of skin to provide a protective barrier.

   • If you have a condition in which the symptoms do not subside (for example, chickenpox), you can take an oatmeal bath several times a day, as it will provide you with much-needed comfort.

   Make a Bath Oatmeal Bag

   Place the oatmeal in a pair of tights or a muslin bag. Instead of grinding the oatmeal, leave it whole. Take a muslin bag, a thin pair of nylon tights, or a large coffee filter and add ½ to ¾ cup of oatmeal. When you put it in water, the oatmeal bag will act like a tea bag, infusing the water with nutritious, natural ingredients.

   • Make a big batch of oatmeal bags ahead of time so you'll have them on hand when you want to throw one in the tub.

3. Add any other components of your choice. Depending on the purpose of the oatmeal bath, you can add other ingredients to the bag. A little milk powder will help soften the skin. A few drops of olive oil will retain moisture while you soak in the bath. Tablespoon baking soda will help restore your skin's natural acidity level. What you add to the pouch is entirely up to you, and the choices are almost endless!

   • If you are using an oatmeal bath to treat an infection, itching, inflammation or sores on the skin, it is recommended that you either skip this step or use extreme caution as adding additional ingredients may worsen the condition.

4. Make sure the pouch is securely fastened. Tie a muslin bag tightly or tie a pair of tights to keep oatmeal and other additives out of the water - you won't enjoy your bath if there are tough oatmeal flakes floating in the water. If you are using a coffee filter (or other empty container), secure it with a rubber band or a piece of tape or thread. The bag should be fastened well enough so as not to come undone if it gets under pouring water while it floats around the bathtub.

   • Handle a soaked coffee filter or other paper bag carefully—if it sits in water for too long, it may tear and fall apart.
   • More durable materials, such as nylon tights, work well for repeated use, as long as you wash and dry them after each session.

5. Add the pouch to hot bath as it fills up. Start running a hot bath. Once it is half full, throw the bag into it. Heat and the movement of pouring water will reveal the properties of oatmeal and other natural ingredients. Wait until it cools to room temperature before getting into the water. Do not remove the bag the entire time you are in the bath.

   • Bath bags are easy to make and don't leave a mess because the contents are infused in the water rather than added directly to it.

Oatmeal baths are ideal for reducing the unpleasant symptoms of skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, and they can also help with skin irritation after exposure to poison ivy, oak and sumac.

And another recipe for an oatmeal rejuvenating bath...http://metasalon.by/2009/12/07/ovsyanyj-eliksir-molodosti/

“...I take a pack of regular oatmeal like “Hercules”, pour it into a gauze bag and tie it tightly, you can just tie it in a knot in a large piece of gauze.
I put this bag of oatmeal in the bathroom and run the water. It is better to pour the water into the bath a little hotter so that the oatmeal swells well; periodically I stir the water and knead the bag so that more oatmeal jelly comes out of it. The water in the bathroom turns creamy.
Wait until the water cools down to a comfortable temperature; it should not be hot. You should take a bath as usual, no more than 20 minutes.
I also wipe my skin with this bag of oatmeal when I’m in the bath. After taking a bath, do not wash the skin with soap and water, but simply pat dry with a towel.
The skin becomes smooth and velvety. This bath is especially good for heating season when dry air dries out the skin.

I highly recommend giving this bath to allergic children suffering from skin diathesis. An allergist once recommended this bath to me for a child.
When I bathed my son, the dryness and flaking on the skin noticeably decreased, even better than after herbal decoctions.

A little later, to save time, I came up with another way to take an oatmeal bath for the body. I made a small gauze bag into which I put a handful of cereal and use it as a washcloth in the shower. The effect is not the same as after a bath, but quite satisfactory.

Tested for myself! "
