If all the psoriasis treatments make you feel like a test subject, it's time to take things into your own hands, armed with eight serious home remedies. But remember, don't drop your doctor-prescribed drugs like they're hot potatoes. Any home treatment should team up with your regular medication, not replace it. So let's dive into the fountain of DIY wisdom, and always, ALWAYS, check with your doc before diving headfirst.

1. Love Your Oily Fish: Inflammation's kryptonite comes in the shape of omega-3 fatty acids. Including oily fish in your diet twice a week might reduce inflammation, a characteristic trait of psoriasis. A few words of caution: while Popeye's spinach can do wonders, too much fish oil supplement might increase your risk of bleeding if you're on blood thinners.

2. Massages: Isn't it wonderful when stress-relief and psoriasis management go hand-in-hand? Getting a massage can lower stress levels and potentially ease psoriasis-related depression. You don't necessarily need a masseuse with years of training to knead into your muscles, a helping hand can do wonders.

3. Yoga: Like some kind of a kale smoothie for your soul, yoga reduces stress and alleviates the torment of psoriasis symptoms. If you suffer from psoriatic arthritis, it can improve your range of motion too. Start with 15 to 20 minutes a day and you'll soon fall for the lentil-loving, yoga pant-wearing lifestyle.

4. Turmeric Talks: Just as your favorite curry dishes, turmeric has potential relief skills for psoriasis. The benefits of its active ingredient, curcumin, are still under investigation, but eating cheeseburgers probably isn't going to help, right?

5. Humidifiers: Skin's best friend in the winter, a humidifier keeps the skin moisturized and may prevent flaky patches. Keep it clean, though. No one wants bacteria or fungi as uninvited guests.

6. Benefits of Dead Sea Salt Baths: Soaking in Dead Sea salt-infused bathwater may help ease psoriasis symptoms. Just remember to moisturize immediately thereafter. Salty water is notorious for leaving you dry.

7. Piquant Potency: Capsaicin, the fiery compound in chili peppers may help decrease inflammation and redness related to psoriasis. Go ahead and spice it up but check with your doctor first.

8. Gorge on Colorful Veggies: Stocking up on colorful fruits and vegetables not only keeps psoriasis in line but also helps you steer clear of heart disease and stroke.

While these remedies are certainly helpful, be wary of gimmicks with no proven benefits like shark cartilage. Always cross-check any supplements you plan on taking with your healthcare provider. These DIY remedies along with a good laugh, a will of steel, and prescribed medical treatment should put you firmly in the driver's seat in your ride with psoriasis.
