Psoriasis, an intractable and prevalent autoimmune skin condition, is helped by an old tree.

Pycnogenol or Maritime Pine bark extract is rich in condensed tannins. These tannins act as anti-inflammatory agents and reduce oxidative stress safely.   

French Maritime Pine AKA Pycnogenol showed marked improvement for patients with psoriasis in a recent Italian study.  Those who took 50 mg three times daily of Pycnogenol gained 20% reductions in areas of skin affected by psoriasis, reduced redness by 44%,  reduced skin hardening by 45%, reduced flaking by 45% and significant increases of water and oil content in all areas.  Patients reduced their pharmaceuticals and showed reduced oxidative stress - a key pathogenic driver of psoriasis.  

Like every other autoimmune disease, psoriasis begins in the gut. It begins with leaky gut and altered intestinal microbiome. That has to be addressed first. Stress, food allergies/sensitivities and blood sugar dysregulation contribute to the scaling plaque lesions that define psoriasis.  

Pycnogenol or Maritime Pine bark extract is rich in condensed tannins.  These tannins act as anti-inflammatory agents and reduce oxidative stress safely.  

We offer the best gemmotherapy formula of Pycnogenol from Belgium at Second Nature's virtual pharmacy. Gemmotherapy formulas are produced at a plant's height of potency to reach depth of healing.  Schedule your psoriasis consult and pick up your script for a safe and effective natural medicine.
