Carapa Procera
Carapa Procera is a type of tropical tree, which only grows in wild forests. It is very rare, and its density is limited to a few trees per acre. It can only be found in a few places in the world, namely in Guyana and Guinea.
The essential oils in Carapa Procera have numerous virtues that have been well identified by ethno-pharmaceutical research: skin restructuring, antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, anti-parasitic, moisturizing and healing effects, among others. However, the scarcity of this substance is the reason why it is rarely used and generally used only in small quantities.
The unique effectiveness of the skincare products of Laboratoires des Mascareignes® resides notably in the very strong concentration of Carapa Procera (close to 40%).
Thanks to the natural active agents with a concentration of unsaturated fatty acids and Omega 6 (regeneration and moisturizing), triterpens (restructuring) and seven different limonoides (anti-inflammatory, healing) of Carapa Procera, together with the combined action of the organic potassium (made up of 3 different tropical plants), True Nature Labs offer a unique and particularly effective derma-cosmetic skincare treatment.

Hints
Psoriasis generally starts to appear at the joints.
The reason is simple: psoriasis is activated by friction.
Observe your behavior:
Avoid putting your elbows on the table
Examine your hand gestures
Perhaps a ring causes friction. Have it adjusted
The knees and the back of the calves: avoid crossing your legs too often
Undergarments: certain undergarment fabrics may cause friction and irritations
Pay particular attention to bras and their rubber support bands. Change them if necessary
Slips and knickers, watch if you react to certain materials. Lace can sometimes be irritating
Itchiness
An obvious but important reminder: avoid scratching your squama when they itch. Soothe your skin with a rich nourishing cream such as Pso Natura Cream.
Be alert: if you feel itching where no squama have yet appeared, apply the Pso Natura treatment preventatively.
Beware of hot water
We noted that very hot water can cause the appearance of squama on sensitive skin.
For dish washing, consider using gloves, particularly if you have sensitive hands
For the shower, take care not to expose yourself to very hot water
Corticoid creams
Their disadvantages are numerous: (habituation, dangerous to the skin, limited effect on very established squama) however, used intermittently, for 2-3 days only, they can contribute to a more rapid disappearance of the marks when used together with Pso Natura Complex. Please consult your dermatologist before using corticoid creams.
Some corticoid products are available as creams or ointments. Testimonials confirm that the ointment appears to be more effective.
Tip: to increase the effectiveness, apply in the evening and put a bandage on, like a patch, for 24 hours.
Scalp
Many people indicate to us that they suffer from psoriasis on their scalp. In this case - use the Pso Natura Shampoo, and follow these recommendations:
Avoid scratching
Wash the hair daily
Apply a hydrating hair mask regularly
Sun
Reasonable exposure to the sun can contribute to the disappearance of the traces. For certain types of psoriasis, dermatologists recommend specific UV treatment. Please consult your dermatologist.
Swimming in Ocean Water
Before swimming in sea water, exfoliate with wet sand. Gently rub the affected parts with wet sand before going into the water. Follow this with exposure to the sun.
Mud bath from the Dead Sea (Jordan)
Its high salt content (30%), and especially its potassium content, made it a favored place for the treatment of skin problems, in particular psoriasis. The results appear to be quite positive. The traces seem to decrease.
Relaxation
Since Psoriasis seems to develop more in the presence of stress and anxiety, you can also try to fight the causes of the disease by practicing activities that are favorable to relaxation and rebalancing.
Psoriasis is a disease, the multiple causes of which are still virtually unknown and inadequately controlled. This explains why, to date, no drugs can effectively fight this disease. The only pharmaceutical or medical answers in use today all have the same objective: to bleach psoriasis, to (more or less) remove its traces. Its resurgence, however, is inevitable as long as the causes are not clearly identified and treated.
Here is what the scientific community knows about psoriasis today:
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory skin disease which affects approximately 2% to 5% of the US population, both men and women.
The disease presents itself as red patches covered with whitish flakes which are raised from the skin: they are referred to as “the squama”.
The psoriasis patches are often located on the elbows, scalp and knees, but can also reach other parts of the body such as the face, the hands, the feet, the mucous membranes, etc.
Psoriasis is neither contagious nor allergy-based, but it is believed to be hereditary, in the form of a predisposition to developing the disease.
Psoriasis appears to be a genetic disease, caused by a cluster of genes and precipitated by external (changes of season, friction from clothing, etc.) and internal (infectious diseases, stress, certain types of medication, etc.) environmental factors.
Parallel to the genetic and environmental factors, indicating a particular predisposition to develop the disease, specific immune reactions appear at the skin level which maintain the inflammation.
The psoriasis plaques are the consequence of an accelerated renewal of skin cells: approximately one week for “psoriatic” skin compares to one month for “normal” skin.
Psoriasis can occur at any age, but the first signs usually appear between 10 and 30 years. It is a chronic disease the evolution of which is unpredictable, with phases of recurrence followed by phases of remission.
Psoriasis has a strong impact on an individual's quality of life. Due to its un-aesthetic aspect and its resilience, the disease often promotes feelings of low self-esteem, mental anguish and, with the passage of time, depression.
Psoriatic people often have communication problems, particularly when their lesions are exposed to the sight: this applies particularly to psoriasis of the face, the scalp and the hands.
Psychological traumas (emotional upsets, mourning, emotional break-ups) or physical shocks (accidents, surgery) are frequently the cause of first appearances and recurrences. Moreover, stress provokes new lesions, as a result of which the affected person can quickly become trapped in a self-feeding cycle.
Types of psoriasis
There are two types of psoriasis:
Type I, where the disease appears in the child or the young adult, with family antecedents, accompanied by a rather rapid evolution.
Type II, where psoriasis develops after 40 years, without family antecedents and accompanied by a more benign evolution.
Classifications according to lesion type
With regard to the type of lesion, one distinguishes:
Psoriasis vulgaris. It is undoubtedly the most widespread form: it applies to 95% of people affected by the disease. The lesions, with well defined contours, are surrounded by a clear ring. This description covers various types of lesions which cause itching in 60% to 70% of cases.
Plaque psoriasis, by far the most frequent, circular in shape.
Guttate psoriasis, the lesions resemble small drops.
Flexural psoriasis, characterized by round patches an inch in diameter.
Two more severe forms:
pustular psoriasis
erythrodermic psoriasis.

PSO NATURA
Our derma-cosmetics laboratory offers a non-pharmaceutical treatment with undeniable proven effects: Pso Natura. Pso Natura is a 100% natural organic treatment. It can be an alternative to medical care or used as a complement to medical treatment. Its excellent results and ease of use, have made it a treatment that is increasingly selected by the people suffering from psoriasis (guttate, patches). More about Pso Natura.
To find out more about the various treatments for psoriasis, we offer you the following overview:
LOCAL TREATMENTS
These require the application of a cream to the areas covered by psoriasis. 60% to 70% of patients use this kind of treatment. Some of the best known treatments are:
Corticosteroids - Containing cortisone. They appear to have a favorable effect on psoriasis, but the patches often return when the treatment is stopped. The best known and most popular are Diprosone (ointment or cream), and Diprosalic lotion for the scalp.
Risks: Dependency, which results in increased usage over time, however cortisone cannot be used daily over a long period. There is also the risk of a resurgence of the disease.
Corticosteroid derivatives, treatments associating cortisone and calcipotrine (Vitamin D derivative) - Vitamin D is synthesized during exposure of the skin to the ultraviolet light of the sun. Calcipotrine treatments can thus replace PUVA-therapy in particular. The best known are: Daivonex, Daivobet (calcipotriol betamethasone).
Risks: at high dose calcipotriol becomes toxic. Slight irritant potential.
Salicylic acid - best known: Salicylated petroleum jelly 5% to 10% (warning, not for children) – soothing action, known to alleviate fever. Used in preservatives. For example: Anexeryl.
Risks: toxic in large quantities.
Tar - the treatments are soiling, very malodorous, but effective. Notably in particular shampoos containing oil of Cade, tar, or carbodome. Emollient baths (Caditar soap, Aveenoderm, Polytar). Another example is Coaltar.
Disadvantages: Soiling, bandages for night time, and therefore very inconvenient.
PUVA-therapy (A or B ultraviolet rays) /Phototherapy – A recognized degree of effectiveness. Variable tolerance level according to patient. Can obviously be combined with other treatments. Burdensome treatment: 8 to 10 weeks, with thrice-weekly meetings with dermatologist in general.
Risks: patients are exposed to heliodermy and the risk of melanomas.
GENERAL TREATMENTS (or SYSTEMIC)
These treat the body as a whole by disseminating the medication via the bloodstream. They are generally used in stage 2, after having tried local treatments. Systemic treatments are often heavy and can present mid to long term risks. 30% to 40% of patients are concerned.
Methotrexate: Common treatment for stage 2 psoriasis. This treatment appears to show good results in approximately 70% of the cases.
Retinoids – Properties closely resembling Vitamin A, for serious types of psoriasis which do not respond to other therapies. Frequent resurgence after interruption of the treatment. In particular Soriatane.
Risks: can cause birth defects in the event of pregnancy of the patient. Soriatane can cause hair loss, dry lips, and dryness of the mucous membranes.
Cyclosporine: most powerful of the general treatments. Immuno-depressor, can produce positive effects, but also serious side effects mainly due to the weakening of the auto immune system.
Other risks: renal toxicity, maximum 1 year duration.
New on the market
Raptiva. 1st biological treatment for plaque psoriasis. Primarily used for stage 3 psoriasis, after the failure of local treatments followed by general treatments. According to the FDA, Genentech, the manufacturer of the psoriasis drug Raptiva (efalizumab), announced that it has begun a voluntary, phased withdrawal of the product from the U.S. market.
Anti-TNF alphas: some already present on the market, but not yet indicated for psoriasis.
Fairly new also: Alefacept or Enbrel. Intravenous treatment. Remissions reportedly fairly durable. Disadvantages: Burdensome and must be repeated.
ALTERNATIVES TO MEDICINAL TREATMENTS
These alternatives are natural.
Pso Natura … naturally; Pso Natura is a 100% organic, foaming, regenerating complex. An organic derma-cosmetic treatment, proven to deliver very convincing results to the problems of squama.
87% effective in guttate or plaque psoriasis.
Its advantages: natural, does not cause dependency, ease of application.
Sylvie Méliet, the founder of our "Laboratoires des Mascareignes", and a psoriatic for more than 20 years says “the most effective answer I know.”
Results in approximately 1 month. Everything you need to know about Pso Natura
Essential oils (phytotherapy): namely burdock, wild pansy and salsaparilla. Can be useful. Warning, often greasy and very malodorous. Ill advised to self medicate as some oils can be very toxic for the organism. Very progressive improvement (slow).
Aloe Vera - Results are often visible, but very seldom entirely removes the traces. Most effective: freshly collected Aloe Vera, therefore not easy to find.
Combination of local applications of “active substances” combined with patient relaxation (important since psoriasis is triggered by stress). Relatively effective, but often of short duration when one returns to normal life. The best known are:
Dead Sea Cure: Minimum 2 weeks (avoid Dec & January, too little sun - and August, too much sun). Expensive, typically not by health insurance, repeat visits necessary.
Icelandic Blue Lagoon Cure: 37 degree hot water lagoon deep in the Icelandic countryside. Care necessary when exiting the bath. Very expensive (travel, hotels etc), but rather effective. Repeat visits necessary.
Some 15 different locations in France (Avène, La Roche Posay etc…) 3 weeks total program similar to the above, sometimes with group discussions. Reduction of the traces, rather than disappearance.
Homeopathy – More suitable for light psoriasis, less than 5 years. 3-4 months to see results, only in certain cases.
Chinese medicine - based on the observation of the laws of energy circulation. Take care to find a genuine professional. Can be helpful.
Nutritherapy: 3 best known alternatives
Nutritional methods of Dr. Seignalet, who recommends returning to ancestral type foods. Eating organic, banishing many things considered dangerous introduced by civilization. Very prone to controversy by experts.
There are also the marine phospholipids, such as marine natural lecithin. Extracts of wild pelagic fish (rich in omega-3). Acts on liver, heart, brain. Could have virtues against psoriasis. Studies still in progress to confirm this point. For example “Psoriacalm“. 9 gelules per day, minimum 2 months treatment.
Warning: Could cause thinning of the blood. A particular warning for people following an anticoagulant treatment.
Probiotics : lactic ferments and bifidus, believed to have an influence on our internal wellbeing and thus on psoriasis. Presented as gelcaps. Consult a naturopath.
AFTER 3 DAYS: the first visible results, the squama disappears from the skin.
AFTER 10 DAYS: the skin is smooth and soft. The traces blend into the skin. Only light pink traces remain, which whiten progressively.
AFTER 20 DAYS: the skin recovers feeling to the touch; the traces continue to grow blurry. Within 10 more days the traces will disappear.
The traces will disappear more or less quickly, depending on the gravity of the symptoms. A treatment period of 30-40 days is recommended in cases with severe red patches and squama, particularly if they have been present on the skin for a long time. It is then advisable to continue the treatment, even after the complete disappearance of the traces.
The effectiveness of Pso Natura is absolutely exceptional; however this treatment does not cure the disease or the causes of the dermatological problem. In the event of a resurgence of plaques, squama and red patches, start a daily treatment with Pso Natura again for a few days, then twice a week.
Pso Natura can also be used to complement a corticoid treatment. The rapidity of the results will only be improved. Consult your dermatologist.
In the event of the appearance of squama, treat as soon as it appears. A one week treatment, 1 to 2 times per day, is sufficient to remove all traces.
Note
Pso Natura is not a drug; it is a natural and vegetable solution, which acts on the marks on the skin and not on the causes of the disease.
Pso Natura is not recommended for purulent wounds. The product would be unpleasant to use because of its slightly stinging effect on wounds.
We do not claim to be a miracle product, only a more effective product than any other to our knowledge.
Use
Pso Natura is used initially twice a day (morning and evening). The treatment takes only a few minutes and can be carried out under the shower.
Apply a measuring spoon dose of Pso Natura to the vegetable loofah sponge provided. Wet abundantly with water.
Foam on the skin with firm circular motions. You will obtain very soft, white and velvety foam which will dissipate as the active ingredients penetrate the skin (approx. 30 seconds). Avoid the eye area.
