✨ 1. INTRODUCTION
Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition marked by itchy, scaly patches that often recur in cycles. Modern medicine largely considers it an autoimmune disorder, offering steroids, immunosuppressants, or biologic injections to control symptoms.
But these solutions often suppress the symptoms, not the cause. Psoriasis is not just a skin disease—it is a deep detox signal from the body. It reveals that the liver, colon, and immune system are overloaded. It is a message that internal fire (inflammation) needs cooling and toxic load needs release.
Castor oil offers a safe, natural, and deep-acting way to support the body’s detox process and soothe the skin externally and internally. Used traditionally in Indian households for generations, it is one of the most affordable and effective tools available.

⚠️ 2. WHY WHITE FOODS MUST BE DISCONTINUED
The six "white poisons" that commonly worsen or trigger psoriasis are:
White rice: low in fiber, increases sugar levels
White sugar: causes inflammation and feeds bad gut microbes
Refined salt: disturbs mineral balance and water retention
Milk and curd: mucus-forming and gut-irritating for many
Maida (white flour): hard to digest, clogs gut and slows elimination
Refined cooking oils: highly inflammatory, strip nutrients, and damage cell membranes
These foods weaken digestion, overload the liver, feed inflammation, and cause gut toxicity to leak into the bloodstream—which then shows up on the skin. Replacing them with millets, jaggery, rock salt, and plant-based options creates the foundation for healing.

💉 3. HOW CASTOR OIL HELPS IN PSORIASIS
Castor oil contains ricinoleic acid, a rare fatty acid with proven anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. Its unique ability to penetrate deep into tissues allows it to reach lymph nodes, dissolve toxins, and reduce inflammation at the root.
Castor oil benefits:
Soothes itching, flaking, redness
Softens plaques and dry patches
Deeply hydrates and nourishes skin
Activates lymphatic drainage and liver detox
Boosts immune modulation
It is not a cosmetic fix. It supports internal correction through external use.

🍵 5. INTERNAL SUPPORT (DO NOT INGEST CASTOR OIL WITHOUT GUIDANCE)
Psoriasis is linked to poor digestion, liver stagnation, and constipation. Internal detox is key.
Daily Healing Support:
Drink warm water first thing in morning
Jeera-tulsi water during the day
Freshly cooked, warm millet-based meals
Avoid leftovers, cold foods, packaged items
Avoid fruit with meals, curd, and fried food
Weekly Cleanse (for guided users only):
1 tsp of castor oil in warm ginger water once a week
Only under experienced supervision

🌿 6. SUPPORTIVE HERBS & NATURAL REMEDIES
Neem: anti-inflammatory, blood purifier (apply paste or take leaf juice)
Turmeric + Black Pepper: take 1/2 tsp in warm water daily
Aloe Vera: fresh gel applied on lesions or taken internally
Triphala: balances bowels and removes toxins (take at bedtime)
Manjistha and Guduchi: support liver and skin healing
These herbs cool the body, purify the blood, and restore balance.

🏋️ 7. LIFESTYLE CHANGES THAT MATTER
Sleep early: between 9–10 PM for liver regeneration
Walk daily: at least 1–2 hours to circulate lymph
Sunlight: 20–30 minutes bare-skin exposure (morning sun)
Reduce screen time: especially at night
Wear natural cotton clothes: avoid tight, synthetic materials
Stress, anger, and suppressed emotions directly flare skin conditions. Emotional detox is as vital as physical.

❌ 8. COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID
Using steroids and creams that suppress symptoms
Over-bathing, over-scrubbing affected skin
Using chemical soaps, shampoos, deodorants
Assuming diet doesn’t matter
Continuing white foods during flare-ups

⚠️ 12. DISCLAIMER
This guide is for educational purposes only. It does not replace professional medical advice. Castor oil should not be ingested casually and should only be taken internally under the guidance of an experienced natural therapist.
