This gentle treatment helps to treat psoriasis and help heal a breakout of psoriasis on the skin.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • 2 Tablespoons of Licorice Root
  • Water
  1. Step 1

    Bring a small pan of water to a heavy boil, then remove from the heat once bubbles begin to roll throughout the water.

  2. Step 2

    Pour the licorice root into a small glass cup, then measure out a tablespoon of the water and pour over it. Cover the glass, then allow the mixture to steep until it cools to around room temperature, or a bit warmer.

  3. Step 3

    Apply the mixture in a thin layer over the psoriasis breakout. If you prefer you can wrap it loosely in gauze, but there's no need to do anything if you don't move the affected area around much.

  4. Step 4

    After about 45 minutes, gently wipe off the mixture with a soft cloth or towel, or rinse gently with warm water.

  5. Step 5

    Add a fresh layer 1-2 times per day until the psoriasis breakout has cleared up.
