I don't have psoriasis, and so don't know about the Brooks Bradley mix
below, just wanted to remark that cleavers salve is supposed to be good
for psoriasis and eczema. I have made salves a few times now, it is
easy in a crock pot, I put herbs in a wide mouth quart canning jar and
cover them with olive, coconut, or other soothing oil, set in a water
bath overnight, strain out the herbs with nylon net or cheesecloth, and
melt in enough beeswax to make a salve, say 1/2 cup or less to the quart
of oil in a double boiler, don't microwave. Comfrey is also very
healing. Cleavers is a very common herb with little hooks that sticks
to your clothes. Other herbs used in salves are calendula flowers,
Self-heal, St. John's wort, Ribwort Plantain, Alder leaves, Akebia
leaves, Wormwood, sage, etc.

*Hi Jane, one of the very best things to use for skin conditions is a
mix that was in one of Brooks Bradley's posts. I call it the " Brooks
Mix ". It has helped so many folks around here with psoriasis,
exama,( sp) & more------- The mix is --*
* 75& CS (EIS) ---10% DMSO, ---& 15 % glycerin...I use a
bartender's shot glass to mix it.---3 shots of CS---1 shot of
DMSO----A little over a shot of glycerin. Add the DMSO last--It will
get warm to the touch... Give it a shake shake shake before each
use... Try it on a small area first If it to make sure it feels ok.
You can add or lessen the DMSO to suit... Make sure you wash the area
where you are going to use it as the DMSO will carry whatever is on
the skin in... {Thanks to Margaret's suggestion} clean the area with
CS...Or you can use distilled water... There are folks around here
making their own now... Good luck---Lois*
