If you wish to find an alternative therapy to help control psoriasis, consider reflexology. Psoriasis, which causes the skin to inflame and become red and scaly, has no cure. While there hasn't been any research on reflexology and psoriasis, it is safe to have reflexology sessions while continuing your doctors treatments of topical creams, steroids, or photo-therapy.

At this time, there isn't research which shows if and how reflexology can benefit people with psoriasis, but many psoriasis sufferers claim they find some relief through their reflexology sessions. One thing that almost everyone agrees with is that reflexology can be relaxing. Since stress can play a big part in the severity of your psoriasis and your overall health, this is not a benefit to overlook. It can make you feel as relaxed as a massage, but only your hands and feet are touched.

Reflexology, based on ancient principals, was developed by a surgeon named Dr William Fitzgerald in the early 1900s and was refined in the 1930s by Eunice Ingham. With reflexology, pressure is applied to points on the feet and hands to alleviate pain and strengthen the body's natural healing abilities.

Reflexology is safe to use regardless of the prescribed treatment. When you are searching for a reflexoligist, it is important to find someone you feel comfortable with. Reflexology should be a relaxing, not stressful, experience. During your first session, your reflexologist will discuss your health with you and examine your skin before starting a treatment.

Some cases of psoriasis may be too severe for a reflexology session. With psoriatic arthritis, the hands and feet may be too tender or inflamed to be worked on. Any open abrasions or cuts are also avoided by a reflexologist.

If you have patches of psoriasis on your hands and feet, reflexology may work for your psoriasis. Either the feet or hands can be worked on if one area is too severe. After your session with the reflexologist, you may learn some techniques that you can do on your hands at home.

For many people who use reflexology, psoriasis symptoms are reduced. Since there is no cure for psoriasis, the relief found with a holistic treatment such as reflexology makes them wish they had discovered it sooner.
