Does salt water help psoriasis?
I have psoriasis on my elbows and knees, and it can be quite irritating. I've heard that swimming in the sea or using salt baths can help with psoriasis. Is there any truth to this claim?

Honestly, salt water from the sea helped my skin plaques a bit when I went to Goa, but home salt water is just too drying. It can sting a lot if you have raw skin. Better to stick to what the skin doc says.
In my experience, natural mineral waters can soothe the body, but aggressive rubbing with salt water at home might aggravate psoriasis. Focus on keeping your mind calm with pranayama and keep the skin naturally moisturized with coconut oil.
I agree that natural sea water sometimes helps, but home salt mixes are usually too harsh. Please consult a dermatologist first.
Bro, psoriasis is already so irritating, don't put salt on it and make it burn! I read somewhere that it's an internal immune thing anyway, so normal salt water won't fix it.
My son has scalp psoriasis and we once tried a salt water rinse. It made his scalp so dry and itchy that he couldn't sleep that night. I highly recommend avoiding these DIY experiments on sensitive skin.
It usually just irritates the skin more. Please avoid it and consult your doctor.
Let's be real, psoriasis is a medical condition, not something you can cure with a pinch of Tata salt in a bucket. Go see a proper dermatologist and get some targeted ointment instead of wasting time.

I find that managing my stress through daily morning walks and a clean diet helps keep my skin flare-ups in control. Relying on salt water rinses won't do much if your overall lifestyle is stressed out.
Actually yaar, some people say Dead Sea salt helps, but normal kitchen salt water will just ruin your skin barrier. Psoriasis is already so dry, don't dry it out more, please.
I barely slept last night because of my own skin itching, and let me tell you, if I put salt water on this, I would be screaming through the ceiling. Save yourself the pain and just use a good moisturizer.
