Homeopathic Management of Psoriasis can Effectively help Wean Patients Off all Conventional Medicine

NEW DELHI, Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. Kalyan Banerjee's Clinic, one of the largest homeopathic practices in the world, is managing almost 900 psoriasis patients every month, effectively managing and controlling chronic cases. Nearly 60% of these patients come for management of psoriasis after complaining of side effects that develop due to prolonged use of conventional medicines such as steroids, immunosuppressants and other forms of medicines. 

Psoriasis, a skin disease that leads to itchy or scaly patches commonly on knees, elbows, and scalp, is a chronic disease with no known cure. It typically flares up for a couple of weeks or several months, then it subsides for some time and flares again or goes into remission. There are a number of treatments available for psoriasis across disciplines which include usage of steroids and immunosuppressants which can often cause severe side effects.

Talking about how Homeopathy is helping psoriasis patients, Padma Shri, Dr Kalyan Banerjee, founder Dr Kalyan Banerjee's Clinic, said, "We have observed that in most cases, patients can be weaned of all conventional medicines. A vast majority of patients who start management of psoriasis with homeopathy never need conventional medicine. Homeopathic treatment helps in reducing cyclic flare ups of psoriasis, progressively bringing in remission for longer periods with little or no symptoms. A large number can stop all treatment as their disease goes into long term remission. Long term complications of psoriasis like psoriatic arthropathy (a form of arthritis) can also be managed well with homeopathy. Timely and right diagnosis is the key to psoriasis management. We often see scalp psoriasis being often misdiagnosed as simple dandruff; such instances need to be remedied."

Elaborating on prevention and management strategies for psoriasis, Dr Kushal Banerjee, M.Sc. (Evidence Based Medicine), University of Oxford and senior homeopath at the clinic, said, "Patients who have chronic liver and kidney conditions, elevated cholesterol levels, diabetes and a host of other conditions are unable to take many of the conventional medicines for psoriasis. These patients can safely take homeopathic medicines for managing their psoriasis. Lifestyle management is crucial to manage immune system mediated illnesses such as psoriasis. Patients often do not understand the importance of a disciplined life to keep psoriasis under control. Another crucial factor which can trigger psoriasis is stress. Although we cannot always remove all the stress from our lives, a disciplined life can help successfully reduce the impact of stress on our bodies including conditions like psoriasis."

Dr Kalyan Banerjee's Clinic treats several hundred patients every day and rates of cure achieved far surpass conventional homeopathy. The Clinic has built a reputation for effective, evidence-based practices with patients and illnesses that are complicated, difficult and in many cases, life threatening. The Clinic has also dispensed several million charitable prescriptions and facilitation of research, publication, and protocol development, are amongst their other philanthropic activities. The distinctive USP of the clinic is that all patients are provided prescriptions and names of medicines which are available at homeopathic pharmacies. A few proprietary homeopathic preparations and medicines are exclusively only available at the Clinic and its centres.
