Coal Tar Solution (LCD) 20% in Aquaphor Ointment and Phototherapy or Sun
Submitted by mypsoria on Sat, 01/30/2010 - 20:41.Coal Tar Solution (LCD) 20% in Aquaphor Ointment with sun or phototherapy is my favorite natural treatment for my psoriasis. Coal Tar Solution (LCD) 20% in Aquaphor Ointment is a thick, yellow ointment that feels like vaseline but smells of tar boiled down to be less smelly. The combo of Coal Tar Solution (LCD) 20% in Aquaphor Ointment and light is not only safe, but combos similar to this are almost a century old now.
I've had psoriasis for a long time. I've gone through more than 30 natural and prescribed treatments over the years. Often I've taken my treatment into my own hands, trying things such as acupuncture, chinese herbs, diet changes, natural treatments such as sun and tar, and also tried strong prescriptions. Most prescriptions wore off or created bad side effects.

Why Consider Home Phototherapy?
Submitted by mypsoria on Sat, 01/09/2010 - 04:50.We'd like to write about home phototherapy and why you should consider it. As you know, for Psoriasis there generally are biologics, all of which have varying side effects. There are steroid and other skin creams, many of which have side effects the stronger they are. There is the natural route, improving diet and stress which usually doesn't work. There has been no clear link between Psoriasis and food that is the same for everyone. There are some commonalities, but in general diet is not a huge factor. As for stress, it is widely known both trauma and stress can trigger Psoriasis. But, once a person has Psoriasis, it can be triggered more easily. Then there is phototherapy. Phototherapy is safe and effective for many Psoriasis sufferers. Phototherapy can be done at a treatment center or at home. Generally narrowband phototherapy is used more these days. At a treatment center, one can expect time in a light box to be seconds to many minutes. It may be daily, every other day, or a couple visits a week.
Often people choose home phototherapy units. Depending on the unit chosen, insurance may pay for most or all of the cost for the unit. A doctor can help track progress. It is a great deal.
