Psora for Pompholyx

We get a lot of emails from sufferers of pompholyx. Some are asking for help, some advice and some are just offering encouragement and support for fellow sufferers.

We get a lot of emails from sufferers of pompholyx. Some are asking for help, some advice and some are just offering encouragement and support for fellow sufferers.

Recently we had and email from Rose. She was after a very specific oil that she has used to treat the symptoms of her pompholyx. To be honest, I had never heard of it, but a little research and one or two calls led me to a UK based site where you can buy the oil.

Here is Rose’s story.

Rose emailed us with some tips and with a question. “Hi. I have pompholyx which started about four months ago and is driving me mad with constant flare-ups. I have been sensible, using cotton gloves etc and avoiding hand creams. However, a friend brought a tiny tube of PSORA ointment back from India. This worked a dream! However, it was a tiny tube and I have run out. I can’t locate it on the internet (its an ayurvedic remedy) and was wondering if you have heard of it [Ed: no – as it happens we hadn’t heard of it]. If so, would you know where I could get some more?”

So our first task was to find Psora ointment. Which we did, here – www.ayurvedaforall.com.

We let Rose know. “Wow! I am amazed that you found this so quickly! I have gone onto the website and ordered some ointment. I shall be pleased to share with your readers the results of my continued usage”. So we look forward to hearing how Rose gets on in the future.

We wanted to find out more about Psora ointment, so we spoke with Dr Nair at Ayurveda For All.

Dr Nair explained what Psora ointment is and how it works. “Psora ointment is made from a herb called Psoralia Corylofolia (Bavchi Oil). According to Ayurvedic concept, Kapha – one among the three somatic humors – is vitiated in Eczema and other skin disorders like Psoriasis. Psoralia Corylofolia (Bavchi Oil) is very effective in reducing this vitiated Kapha. If you are using Psora oinment with Psora capsules internally, it will cleanse the body as well. Ayurveda has a very good track record in dealing the chronic skin disorders which require long term medication. I am happy to offer a free consultation to your users through our site”. Dr Nair can be contacted at www.ayurvedaforall.com.

To be honest, it’s a complicated looking system which is based on herbs and a certain amount of faith. We certainly can’t recommend it because we aren’t doctors and we don’t ever recommend a specific solution for pompholyx. But it seems to be working for Rose.

Update: we haven’t had any feedback on Psora yet, but we have heard from JB who tells us about another ‘Eastern’ treatment. Again, we can’t vouch for this so please take proper advice before considering any treatments (we’re trying to find out more) but it seems to work for JB.

JB wrote in to tell us his treatment. “I suffered my first bout of Pompholyx about 18 years ago (I am now in my later 40’s). It was an extreme attack and it lasted over 18 months. Numerous visits to skin specialists could do nothing to help. I finally went to a Chinese acupuncturist who used a “moxa roll” or some may call it a Moxi Roll. They light the end and hold it close to the affected area to draw out the itch. This is intense while you are doing it, but wow what wonderful relief. In the end I purchased some moxa rolls for myself and when I get the first signs of the blisters – if I use the moxa roll every day – it seems to stop it from going into a full-blown attack. Over the years I have had numerous flare ups but have managed mostly to keep it under control with this method. Hope this helps.”. It does JB, thanks.
