I can tell you from personal experience it works (for me). Topically i used jojoba and cannabis mixed. Apply twice daily.

What is the method you use? The kief from the dry ice extraction is pretty thorough. Wonder what dilution I should use if I use the infused coconut oil with kief? How many mg THC per ounce should I shoot for?

I dont know. I used rso. I had 32oz jug of jojoba oil. Put in maybe 3 to 5 grams of it. I really dont remember though

I have the mg THC/ capsule for the coconut oil, so will dilute it to similar products at a local dispensary. Probably need 100 mg THC per 1/2 oz because the CBD hemp salve was 100 g CBD from what I remember.

It seems like 1 capsule 3 times per day is a good regime for adequate therapy enough to reduce itching and redness. 1-2 capsules works, but its the best to combine with smoke to produce enterage effect with terpenes.

Topical may help even more with it.

Relieve itching just taking a tablespoon of this sea moss gel. Check it out! Just found out about it from a local organics shop where I went to get CBD salve. They were selling it. I have never tried it before but it has great health benefits like mushrooms and hemp seed. It can boost the immune system.

The topical seems to be doing just ok. Had better results when combining with eating it. Bowel regularity is another factor. I havent been eating well, and not taking fiber like i usually do.

Yeah my doctor said psoriasis may caused by other issues such as stress on the the digestive tract. The ingestible cannabis is a multi-purpose therapy to help mitigate issues which cause stress on the body.

Planning on doing some body cleanses this winter to prevent psoriasis flares. May do a Oxypowder magnesium oxide digestive cleanse and also do cleanses for yeast and candida with Mycozil, and parasites and harmful organisms with Paratrex. The oregano oil is a little hot for my stomach though, so parasite cleanse can be tough to get through.

Have you tried Magnesium supplements? My diet is extremely limited with the autoimmune problems so I normally take it and loads of others regularly but ran out a while ago and have been getting psoriasis since.

It’s apparently quite a common deficiency that has a significant association with psoriasis.
I’m getting some more in so it’ll be interesting to see if the itching stops when it arrives.

Also a quote from Ethan Russo..

‘There is nothing that cbd can do that thc can’t do better’

Thc is an agonist at both the cb1 and cb2 receptor, not just the cb1 as previously suggested in this thread.

Cbd is a cannabinoid antagonist, it blocks uptake at the receptor necessitating tolerance breaks in order to uptake thc effectively.

It’s also a selective serotonin re uptake inhibitor, better to use a precursor like 5htp if you want to increase serotonin. There are potentially serious issues with re uptake inhibitors and also some adverse drug interactions with cbd that don’t exist with thc.

You can resolve this problem by storing cannabis containing cbd in an acidic environment where it will be converted to delta 8 and 9 ect.
a health practitionr tells me that calcium is also important if you have skin issues or allergic skin reactions. I have tried it in the past and it seems to help alittle.
But the best thing is to detox your skin on a regular basis.
I´ve been meaning to update the general health thread I once started but I keep kinda forgetting about it ..

I’ve been using raw honey on my skin recently, seems to be very effective. Copper and zinc help regulate immune response.

honey is an ancient remedy. I don´t use it because it´s so damn sticky,lol
Good to hear that it´s working for you :)

For skin healing emu oil is my favourite. But it doesn´t seem to help much in terms of skin rashes.
The best combo I have used was skin detox baths and prescription creams.
Emu oil however is best for general skin healing and for thickening the skin .

What type of soap do you guys use?

Where can I get a good full spectrum hemp oil salve with just boanical ingredients. I got the R&R brand, but I liked the Enerhealth Botancals better. It has terpenes and was just basic natural ingredients.

Psoriasis is caused at least in part by excessive stress, so whatever you an do to lower stress will help psoriasis. But you need to get good excercise, rest, and eat well, and meditate which will all help to reduces stress. Also being social and connecting with people especially loved ones helps reduce stress.

Moderate cannabis use as needed to prevent being too over-stimulated. Coffee can help boost energy and mood and also has health benefits.

I’d agree with all of that except moderating cannabis intake, I think it’s the lack of cannabinoid diversity in most varieties that’s not ideal. We don’t know enough to make informed decisions about it though, the Thai I’m smoking now tests pure thc but the chromatography looks more diverse than any type 2 or 3.
I tried loads of soaps, the only ones that don’t make my skin fall off are faith in nature and dr Bronners, you might like the dr b if you’ve not tried it? it comes with a lot of free religious stuff on the label.
Lots of soaps contain gluten, it gets absorbed through the skin and triggers an autoimmune response. I saw some strange people are feeding barley to their plants?! Another good reason to grow your own.
Lots of people are suing Johnson and Johnson after using their baby soap and getting cancer, I reckon if you can’t read the list of ingredients without the help of Google you probably shouldn’t put it on your skin.

skin needs to be alkaline meaning the products we use should be alkaline. Unfortunately manufacturers don´t care. If a label reads something like ` skin pH neutral´ it will mean that it´s actually too acidic.
There are however one or two companies which make alkaline skin care products. They just have a much higher price tag.
This is why I always recommend alkaline detox baths once a week - they work amazingly well, they´re highly effective ( you can even literally see the results in the bath tub afterwards ) AND they´re very low cost too :)

PS
Here´s something very important to remember:
The human body is and needs to be entirely alkaline. And there are only 3 ecxeptions to this rule.
The 3 parts of the human body which should be a (little) acidic are

1. stomach
2. hair (just the hair not the scalp)
3. vagina

Not sure why or how but I’ve read that acidic foods have an alkalising effect on the body, which is apparently a good thing. This must be different topically then I guess?
