From the perspective of Traditional Herbal Theory skin problems that occur
apart from external contamination or accidents are brought about by
substances that are ingested that incapacitate the internal organs to the
point that they no longer dispose of wastes through the proper channels and
elements of these wastes start being expelled through the skin.
This
occurs for very simple and obvious reasons. In principle all living organism
nourish themselves with specific foods. These foods are separated through
digestion into useable and unusable substances. The useable, seamlessly
become part of the organism while the unusable are naturally eliminated from
the organism. When the unusable stay in the organism ailments develop as the
organism deals with this acquired toxin.
Most animals live from the consumption of solids, liquids and gaseous
nourishment. That is to say that We need to eat, drink and breath. To
accommodate these three fundamental types of nourishment the liver deals
with the solids the kidneys the liquids, the lungs the gases. After eating
the liver separates from the blood and lymphatics the unusable solids
and the kidneys separate out the liquid unusable substances from the
blood and bodily waters.
The lungs, together with the pores of the skin, breathe. The lungs,
in addition to working in conjunction with the skin, also work together with
the kidneys. The Liver in addition to being the bodies filter for solid
wastes also uses the useable substances in our foods to manufacture the
body's flesh inclusive of skin. Therefore, liver problems will manifest and
are indicated on the skin. Should the liver function become impaired due to
being over burdened its solid wastes will overflow to the kidney. They, not
being able to effectively deal with solids, will themselves gradually become
overburdened and unable to fulfill their functions to the fullest. The only
organ left to eliminate the waste are the lungs and with them the skin.

The blood manufactured from food by the
internal organs carries with it the ingredients out of which all our flesh
is formed. Should the blood through improper digestion and elimination carry
with it superfluous substances unsuitable for the making of normal flesh -
these substances mix with the normal substances to produce an abnormal skin.
Because the body knows how to produce its parts according to its established
order it can rebuild the skin if the abnormal ingredients are removed from
the blood. The resulting rash, irritation and flakiness of the skin can be
compared to rust in metal. This inflamed rash is the result of the skin
trying to separate out of itself the material unsuitable for the production
of normal skin in much the same way as a sliver of wood produces an expected
inflammation where it is lodged. The sliver of wood example is clear and
understandable. But, that there may be other, perhaps finer substances that
may act as the sliver of wood does escapes the accepted concepts of what
causes a skin problem.
Were this to occur in the joints, arthritis would be the result. In olden
times this was called "Podagra" by Paracelsus.
Although it cannot be said that the
Psorossa Ointment "cures" Psoriasis, its main action is in opening the pores
of the skin, helping the skin remove the wastes out of its tissue more
easily. This is 80% of the Minerals effect. The other ingredients act as
anti-inflammatory.
Those who have used Psorossa have found
that a little bit goes a long way. In some instances fewer and fewer
applications are needed.
