Skin on Fire: Healing Psoriasis Naturally - Paperback

Millions of psoriasis sufferers who wear their illness on their skin, for the world to see, have been told that there are no known cause and no cure. Skin on Fire debunks these falsehoods.

Expensive medications marketed to treat psoriasis are among the most commonly advertised drugs on TV, in magazines, and hawked by social media influencers. But their use comes with serious risks, mandating that consumers do frequent blood work to check for infection and potential organ damage. Those with psoriasis are only willing to accept the risks because they are desperate and frustrated. They wear long sleeves in the summer and anxiously cringe at the thought of the exposure of a swimsuit. Their skin is patchy, flaky, and volatile. It itches and burns.

If this is your story, you're not alone-and if you're searching for an entirely natural approach as an alternative to mediocre medical solutions that only seem to make your condition worse, you've found it. There is a better way to heal. In Skin on Fire, Dr. Anik St. Martin explains the direct connection between the gut, the nervous system, and inflammation, and empowers us to heal our psoriasis by working with, not against the body.

Inside the book, you'll discover:

• Why psoriasis may begin long before symptoms appear on the skin.
• How stress, toxins, trauma, lack of sleep, and denigrating self-talk contribute to the emergence of autoimmune conditions like psoriasis.
• Which foods to eat, and avoid, to support healing from the inside out.
• Supplements to take to restore and rebalance the gut microbiome.
• Exact instructions for a 90-day, drug-free path to alleviate psoriasis.
