Psoriasis regularly attacks the skin to produce scales and inflammation. Medical studies have proved that Omega 3 group of acids can be very beneficial to treat the symptoms of Psoriasis. They can be obtained in oils of fish, particularly the salmon and Cod Liver. They provide nutrition to the body.

These Omega-3 type acids prevent release of chemicals known as prostaglandins. Prostaglandins are formed by "arachidonic acid" which exists in cell membranes. Whenever its level rises the patient experiences inflammation.

A research was carried out on a group of 86 persons suffering from Psoriasis. They were given Omega 3 as well as Omega 6 treatment. In comparison it was found that Omega 3 displayed better results. Further studies are under progress. The result could be an important discovery in the treatment of Psoriasis.

Including a supplement of Omega 3 to your diet could be considered for Psoriasis patients. Nuts, Flax Seeds or Fish oils can give you this supplement. Two substances found in fish are eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. Alpha-linolenic acid is contained in soybean, canola, olive and Flaxseed or linseed oil.

Green vegetables can immensely help. Fish is recommended thrice a week accompanied by nuts. Vitamin E has to be consumed while taking additional fatty acid supplements. Fatty acids are metabolized to radicals of free form in the body.

Conclusive findings are yet to be obtained in by research and it is an ongoing process. However indications obtained thus far are very positive. You can certainly include fish and green vegetables in your diet with a supplement of oil.
