3 psoriasis “triggers” in your medicine cabinet?!

Whether it’s the itchy, flaky skin that has you covering up every inch of your body…

Or the pain and inflammation in your joints…

PSORIASIS goes way beyond your typical run-of-the-mill ‘skin condition.’

And when psoriasis spirals out-of-control, it impacts other organs and tissues… and can even lead to psoriatic arthritis – a form of arthritis that causes painful swelling and stiffness in your joints and the surrounding areas.

The problem is, even when you manage to get psoriasis under control, it can come back with a vengeance…

Today I’ve got the skinny on what could unintentionally be causing nasty psoriasis flare-ups…

And a NATURAL solution that fights back and keeps psoriasis at-bay.

Recent studies have concluded that commonly prescribed drugs like beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, and even antifungal treatments (like terbinafine) can potentially CAUSE psoriasis flare-ups.

Beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors are prescribed to treat high blood pressure, and terbinafine is a synthetic antifungal agent used to treat fungal infections like athlete’s foot.

And, because psoriasis is technically an autoimmune condition that mistakenly ATTACKS healthy skin cells, these drugs can cause adverse reactions and lead to flare-ups or outbreaks.

In other words, these drugs could be making your psoriasis WORSE!

So, what’s the solution? Especially if you’re taking these medications?

Well, it’s high-time to think about reverse-engineering this thing and getting off these drug “triggers”.

If you’re taking the aforementioned drugs for blood pressure or athlete’s foot, talk to your doctor about whether you REALLY need to be on them.

We recently uncovered that nearly 34% of older adults are taking a RX drug they DON’T NEED – and perhaps you’re one of them!

And as for psoriasis?

Consider fighting it with capsaicin — the compound found in chili peppers that gives them their spicy kick.

A study published by the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology noted that psoriasis sufferers who used topical capsaicin for three weeks had:

• Greater overall IMPROVEMENT on sides of the body treated with capsaicin
• REDUCTIONS in scaling and ‘reddening’ of the skin

And, nearly HALF of the study participants said the burning, stinging, itching, and redness of their skin diminished and even VANISHED with continued application!

Talk to your doctor or dermatologist about capsaicin before supplementing to ensure it’s right for you.
