Psoriasis

Psoriasis is a skin disease, characterized by a strong scaly skin - and changes of the nails - especially on the elbows, knees and scalp. Psoriasis can also be detected on other organs - especially the joints, associated ligaments, the surrounding of soft tissue, the eyes and the vascular system. It is a flammable, non-contagious skin disease.

In some cases there is a connection between psoriasis and celiac disease. The gluten-free diet alleviates the symptoms of psoriasis.
