Even the most difficult case will yield to this treatment, providing the proper diet is maintained and very little salt and protein is ingested. When it comes to skin disorders, salt is a poison and the metabolic toxins resulting from an excess intake of animal protein aggravate these diseases in general and psoriasis in particular. Further advice on diet is given on pages 180-1. If there is a discharge of pus from the eruption, Hepar sulph. 4x should be taken. If the trouble is connected with an acid condition of the body or if there is an oozing, burning, blistering rash with painful itching, then Rhus tox. 4x to 6x will be the best remedy. Arsenicum alb. 4x to 6x is good for both dry and oozing eruptions which burn and irritate especially by night. In cases of chronic eruptions the homoeopathic sulphur remedies Sulphur 6x and Sulphur iod. 4x to 6x have proven their worth, particularly if the eruption is of a scrofulous nature. Finally, if the disease is the result of a tendency
to rheumatism or gout, then Calcarea carb. 4x alternated with Lycopodium 6x would be indicated.
Whatever the cause, it is useful to add a calcium preparation which incorporates nettles, for example Urticalcin, to the other medication. And do not forget that Violaforce (heartsease drops) is an especially effective remedy for skin disorders.
