Steps: DIY Natural Remedy for Mild Psoriasis
Spoon Measurement Terms
In some of our articles, and for non-liquid ingredients, we use the measurements ‘One Spoon,’ ‘Rounded Spoon,’ and ‘Heaped Spoon’, to measure the quantity of ingredients, rather than precise measurements in grams or ounces. This is because adding a little more or less of the ingredient does not affect the final product. Both tablespoons and teaspoons follow these guidelines. Here’s a brief explanation of these terms:
- One Spoon: Fill the ingredient in a measuring spoon, leveling it with a straight edge.
- Rounded Spoon: More than a level measurement, with the ingredient piled above the spoon’s edge in a rounded shape.
- Heaped Spoon: The non-liquid ingredient is scooped as high as possible on a spoon.
1- Begin by placing 1 heaped teaspoon of natural coconut oil into a bowl. This measurement is for solid coconut oil, which may occur in cooler temperatures. If the coconut oil is liquid due to warmer temperatures, use 1 tablespoon of the liquid coconut oil instead.

2- Add 1 rounded teaspoon of turmeric. Ensure that the turmeric you are using is specifically intended for skincare applications.

3- After adding the coconut oil and turmeric, use a teaspoon to blend the ingredients thoroughly. The mixture will begin to form a paste. Continue mixing for about 40 seconds, pressing the teaspoon down into the paste and moving it around to ensure the ingredients are well combined.
If the coconut oil is liquid, stir the ingredients thoroughly to achieve an even consistency. Keep mixing until the turmeric is fully blended into the coconut oil.
For Best Results: Prepare the mixture fresh just before application to ensure its effectiveness. This helps maintain the potency of the ingredients and ensures the paste is at its best when applied.

How to Use: DIY Natural Remedy for Mild Psoriasis
Here’s how to make use of the DIY natural remedy for mild psoriasis:
a. Fresh Mix: Prepare the mixture fresh just before application.
b. Apply the Paste: Gently apply the turmeric-coconut oil paste to the affected areas of your skin. Use your fingers to ensure an even layer, and avoid applying it to unaffected areas to prevent staining. If the coconut oil was liquid due to warm temperatures, simply apply and spread the liquid mixture on the affected areas.
c. Cover the Area: Cover the treated area with a bandage fabric, such as gauze. This will help keep the paste in place and prevent staining your clothes.
d. Leave It On: Allow the paste to sit on your skin for 3 hours. This duration allows the ingredients to work effectively on the affected area.
e. Rinse Off: After 3 hours, carefully remove the gauze and rinse the area with lukewarm water. Pat the area dry with a clean towel.
This approach ensures that the paste is used effectively and helps manage potential staining.
Benefits
Using this DIY natural remedy for mild psoriasis offers several advantages:
Soothing Relief: The turmeric-coconut oil paste provides a calming effect on the skin, helping to alleviate the discomfort and itching commonly associated with psoriasis flare-ups. The anti-inflammatory properties of turmeric work to soothe irritated skin, while coconut oil helps to calm and hydrate the affected areas.
Moisturizing: Coconut oil is an excellent moisturizer that penetrates deeply into the skin, helping to combat the dryness and scaling often seen in psoriasis. By keeping the skin hydrated, it can reduce the appearance of flaky patches and improve overall skin texture.
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Turmeric is well-known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help to reduce redness, swelling, and inflammation. This can be particularly beneficial for managing the inflammatory symptoms of mild psoriasis and improving the overall appearance of the skin.
Natural Ingredients: The remedy uses simple and natural ingredients—turmeric and coconut oil—making it a gentle alternative to chemical-based treatments. This approach minimizes the risk of adverse reactions and is suitable for those who prefer natural skincare solutions.
Reminder: While this remedy can be effective for managing mild psoriasis, it is important to consult a healthcare professional if you experience more severe symptoms or if your condition does not improve.
