Ginger and Turmeric Against Psoriasis
Psoriasis is an autoimmune disease affecting 2-3% of the population. Red plaques, scaling, itching. Immune dysregulation (Th17) and chronic inflammation are the causes.
Anti-Psoriasis Mechanisms
- Th17 Inhibition — curcumin inhibits IL-17 (the central cytokine in psoriasis, same target as biologics)
- NF-κB — inhibits the central inflammatory pathway in psoriasis
- TNF-α — reduces TNF-alpha (same target as infliximab and adalimumab)
- Keratinocytes — curcumin normalizes excessive keratinocyte proliferation
- Gut-Skin Axis — gut dysbiosis worsens psoriasis; ginger restores it
Sugar Worsens Psoriasis
Sugar increases systemic inflammation and intestinal permeability, exacerbating flare-ups. Zero sugar is essential.
Patience
Autoimmune diseases respond slowly. A minimum of 12-16 weeks of daily use before evaluating the effect.
