Although I’m completely grateful to be psoriasis free for 3 years, I must say, I was SHOCKED when diagnosed. Our skin is the largest organ of our body. It takes COPIOUS amounts of stress to show up in the form of psoriasis.
And yes, after all of that clean living, a year of stress woke it up in me.
Here is what I used to rid my body of psoriasis…
1) Daily meditation 20 minutes
2) I dove even deeper into my yoga practice for an hour every morning at 4am in my living room
3) Drinking thyme tea to reduce food allergies {we become allergic to food when we eat during periods of stress! Even healthy foods}!
4) I began Intuitively eating! Only eating when I was truly hungry.
5) I sat in the sun for 20 minutes every other day with no toxic sunscreen {yes sunscreen is FULL of crap!
6) I learned to recognize what was a major source of stress in my life. I stopped blaming myself.
7) I started taking my smiling gut probiotics every morning along with my raw detox formula and my Sexy And Raw hair skin and nails formula. (Shop Andrea’s Supplements Here)!
I hope this helps any of you who have had to deal with this. PLEASE don’t listen to doctors who try to hand you steroid creams, pills and sob stories that this is hereditary. Doctors who say you will be stuck with this for life!
Eliminate the major stress, eat a clean plant based diet, drink plenty of water, meditate or do yoga for stress reduction and relax!
I can’t begin to explain how traumatic of an experience it was to be covered with psoriasis for a year. I remember thinking to myself “no way am I stressed out to the point of causing a head to toe skin rash that keeps me up at night”!
Once I woke up to the fact that I was carrying FAR too much emotional stress, I made it my priority to balance myself and my emotional reactions to situations that were going on around me.
Now days, stress does not affect me!
I look at the scars on my arms and legs from nights I spent awake, alone itching as battle wounds of victory.
Have faith, it will get better and eventually be gone!
I love you ~ love yourself
