4.Living on alkaline diet is recommended in Psoriasis Patients,According to Ayurveda, it is an imbalance of fire energy. Consuming food rich in acids or consuming acidic diet is not at all recommended. All fruits ( except citrus fruits) , are recommended.
5.Try to avoid acidic foods like frozen food, packaged food, refined flour food, sour fruits like lemons. Also avoid yogurt, non-vegetarian diet, alcohol as they are considered hot or acidic in nature. Avoid soft drinks as they contain carbon dioxide, which is another toxin for the body.
6.Coconut water is good to drink. It is one of the most effective home remedies for psoriasis.
