Psoriasis is also known as the “cancer that won’t kill you”! In modern society, there are many people suffering from psoriasis. Patients feel extremely itchy, and the disease relapses repeatedly and is difficult to cure. Moreover, the affected areas keep increasing in number and becoming thicker, forming scabs that resemble cowhide, bringing a great psychological burden to the patients. Western medicine often uses hormonal drugs to reduce inflammation, which only treats the symptoms rather than the root cause, and it is very difficult to be completely cured.

There are many methods in traditional Chinese medicine for treating psoriasis, and the curative effects are also quite good. It is recommended to use blood cupping to remove toxic blood before treatment. After applying the medicine, moxibustion can achieve a better effect, and the medicine can be absorbed more effectively.
