The severity is quite variable \u003cspan class=\"GramE\"\u003efrom a one or two small lesions\u003c\/span\u003e all the way to widespread skin lesions over the body with associated arthritic development. Researchers have not found a cause but note \u003cspan class=\"GramE\"\u003ecommon family histories which suggests\u003c\/span\u003e that genetic factors play a role, and also correlates with frequency of certain other illnesses such as myocardial infarction, metabolic disorders, endocrine disorders, psycho-somatic disorders, and immune disorders. The onset is gradual with chronic remissions and recurrences of variable frequencies. Precipitating factors may include burns, trauma to the region, and withdrawal from \u003cspan class=\"SpellE\"\u003ecorticosteriods\u003c\/span\u003e. Children may have explosive psoriatic eruptions after streptococcal upper respiratory infections (\u003cspan class=\"SpellE\"\u003estrep\u003c\/span\u003e sore throat.) Diagnosis is clear when there are well-defined, dry, heaped-up lesions with large silvery scales.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e From Traditional Chinese Medicine the pathologic etiology of psoriasis arises from Damp Heat in the Spleen and Lung. It also arises from the effects of external Wind causing Damp Heat to accumulate in the skin which blocks \u003cspan class=\"SpellE\"\u003eQi\u003c\/span\u003e and Blood movement in local areas, and this local \u003cspan class=\"SpellE\"\u003eQi\u003c\/span\u003e stagnation can increase Heat in the skin. In addition, an attack of Wind Cold can lead to disharmony between Yin (nutrients) and \u003cspan class=\"SpellE\"\u003eWei\u003c\/span\u003e (defense mechanism) which can create dryness. Another etiology arises from strong emotional reactions causing a \u003cspan class=\"SpellE\"\u003eQi\u003c\/span\u003e blockage, and if \u003cspan class=\"SpellE\"\u003eQi\u003c\/span\u003e stasis goes on for too long it can lead to Blood stagnation.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eTCM Indication\u003c\/u\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e Dermatitis syndrome marked by severe itching, membranous scaly eruptions, \u003cspan class=\"SpellE\"\u003ecutaneous\u003c\/span\u003e pigmentation, thick scaling, dry skin, also a \u003cspan class=\"SpellE\"\u003ecutaneous\u003c\/span\u003e focal lesion gradually spreading outward, \u003cspan class=\"SpellE\"\u003elichenification\u003c\/span\u003e, skin warts, patient fears or avoids heat, some have constipation, a deficiency case has dizziness, back ache and \u003cspan class=\"SpellE\"\u003etinnitis\u003c\/span\u003e, some have joint pain, and pale face.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003eTongue\u003c\/u\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e Red Tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003ePulse\u003c\/u\u003e:\u003c\/b\u003e Slippery or rapid pulse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In TCM terms this formula nourishes the Yin and Cold Blood, enriches the Blood and moistens the Dryness, clears the Heat and removes toxins, eliminates Qi and Blood stasis and activates Blood circulation.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 tablets\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePotency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7:1, 750mg tablets\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nourishes the Yin and cools the Blood, enriches the Blood and moistens Dryness, clears heat and removes toxins, eliminates Qi and Blood stasis and activates Blood circulation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yin deficiency; Blood heat\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChinese Symptomology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Severe itching*; Membranous scaly eruptions*; Cutaneous pigmentation*; Thick skin scaling*; Dry Skin*; Cutaneous focal lesion gradually spreading outward*; Lichenification*; Skin warts*; Fear or avoidance of heat*; Constipation*; Dizziness*; Backache*; Tinnitis*; Joint Pain*; Pale face*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHuang Qin - Scutelaria baicalensis RadixHuang Liang - Coptis chinensis RizomeSheng Di Huang - Rehmannia glutinosa RadixJin Yin Hua - Lonicera japonica FlosQing Dai Fen - Indigo indigotica FoliumDang Gui - Angelica sinensis RadixDan Shen - Salvia miltiorrhiza RadixChi Shao - Paeoneae rubrae RadixDa Qing Ye - Isatis tincotoria FoliumSan Leng - Sparganium stoloniferum RhizomeBan Lan Gen - Isatis tinctoria RadixXuan Shen Scrophularia ningpoensis RadixZao Xiu - Paris polyphylla RhizomeWu Mei - Prunus mume FructusMu Dan Pi - Paeonia suffruticosa Radix Cortex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dr. Kang Formulas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47437123584156,"sku":"DK135","price":29.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/2407\/0044\/files\/psor-skin-dr-kang.png?v=1787201889","url":"https:\/\/primenaturalfoods.ca\/products\/psor-skin","provider":"Prime Natural Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
