Frankly speaking, psoriasis is closely related to factors such as damp-heat and blood dryness in the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that blood heat is one of the important root causes of psoriasis. Therefore, patients must pay attention to regulating blood heat. Regulating blood heat is like cooling down the "fire" in the body, which can normalize skin metabolism, enhance skin resistance, and accelerate the recovery from psoriasis.

The saying "food therapy surpasses drug therapy, nourishment is more enduring" is by no means an empty phrase! Regulating the body through food provides a gentler and more sustained nourishment compared to drug treatments, promoting better health and reducing the incidence of illness.

In our daily diet, there are certain therapeutic foods that possess effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, promoting blood circulation and cooling blood, nourishing blood and moistening dryness. They may help regulate the body's blood heat state, improve the patient's constitution, and thereby alleviate symptoms of psoriasis.
