"I was so fed up with the products on the market, they were full of chemicals, smelt awful and were painful to use. Thankfully I had the opportunity to help develop these natural products. Please read my story below and I strongly recommend you give these fantastic products a try."
"I used to have severe psoriasis on my scalp and it was very painful and blighting my life.
I tried everything I could but found tar-based products smelled awful and were painful to remove plaque with, while steroid-based products had their own drawbacks.
So I asked if the laboratories I worked for could possibly develop a nature-based solution using traditional plant ingredients such as juices and essential oils, and they came up with what is now the Katharine Botanicals psoriasis range. There were a number of samples so I tried them all, and settled on the best.
Psoriasis is a disease of the auto-immune system which displays itself on the skin. Symptoms mainly manifest in the form of what is known as plaque - raised red lesions covered in what is known as ‘scale’ – dead skin cells, which are whitish in colour. Flare ups often occur following skin injury or other illness, with acne and psoriasis often causing simulataneous discomfort.
Psoriasis treatment can take many forms depending on how severe the symptoms are. For many a topical gel or cream should be enough to ease the symptoms and promote healing. Psoriasis skin care requires the careful consideration of products, as anything too abrasive ot heavily perfumed may cause discomfort. Hypnoallergenic, natural skin care products are often the safest option.
The British Medical Association (BMA) and the American Medical Association (AMA) state clearly that there is no known psoriasis cure and alleviation is currently the only solution. If you read claims of cure elsewhere, bear this in mind.
Treatment for psoriasis often involves topical application of ointments and creams. Moisturising creams or lotions can be very effective in soothing dry, flaky skin. In mild cases an emollient can be enough to treat mild psoriasis it will reduce the risk of cracking and scaling of dry skin.
Katharine Botanicals are pleased to offer a psoriasis gel containing only natural ingredients. It is designed to soothe the skin and alleviate the symptoms of acne psoriasis, and other skin conditions, harnessing the power of essential oils to promote healing.

If you suffer from psoriasis, then caring for your skin is going to be high on your list of priorities. Psoriasis skin care is important as you don't want to aggravate your existing condition, so you will want to avoid any products containing anything which may trigger a flare up.
This form of psoriasis is extremely common, affecting as it does half or more of all people with psoriasis. It presents in the normal fashion as raised red lesions which later produce scale.
Scalp psoriasis runs the entire range from a very slight presence to extremely severe development; in fact the whole scalp can be encrusted causing severe distress and even lead to loss of hair. It often develops beyond the scalp onto the neck, forehead and ears.
Psoriasis scalp treatment often takes the form of medicated mild shampoos or conditioners.
There are many forms of psoriasis scalp treatment, but you should consider how the treatment you adopt will affect your daily life. The most important thing to do is to get control of the lesions and crusting.
Palmo-plantar pustulosis normally afflicts adults from the 20s to the 60s. As its name suggests, it appears on the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet. Although the precise cause is unknown, stress and possibly other infections are suspected to set it off. Men tend to suffer from this form less than women.
Treatment for pustular psoriasis will vary depending on the severity, however the Katharine Botanicals Psoriasis Treament products will help soothe damaged skin. In some cases pustular psoriasis can require hospitalisation - so if in doubt consult your GP.
Guttate Psoriasis is a form of psoriasis which commonly starts in childhood or in young adults. It appears in the form of small red spots, which are usually less thick and crusty than those found with plaque psoriasis. The spots usually appear on the main torso and limbs.
