The “right” foods for psoriasis

The main thing in the treatment of psoriasis is to achieve stable normal functioning of the digestive tract, that is, to create the correct acid-base environment in the digestive organs. If this condition is met, then the functions of the body will gradually recover and your condition will noticeably improve.
