| Stress, psoriasis and eczema. The effects of stress to scaly skins. |
| Recent studies show that emotional stress can cause psoriatic patches to erupt on 50 to 62 percent of people subject to the disorder. Practicing relaxation techniques during periods of remission may defuse stress before it can initiate a flare-up. When psoriasis is active, combining other remedies with relaxation and mental images of clear skin replacing the scaly rash often reduces discomfort and speeds the healing process. Because stress can cause many different symptoms, both physical and mental, it's often difficult to determine their true source. |  | | Above: Psoriasis of the scalp.

- Eat regular and healthy meals, starting with a good breakfast.
- For a few minutes each day, sit quietly with your eyes closed.
- Exercise regularly to increase the production of endorphins, the brain chemicals that lift mood.
- Listen to your favorite music; it, too, increase endorphin levels.
- Learn a relaxation technique, such as yoga, meditation, or deep-breathing exercises.
- Make a Things-To-Do-List for the day; arrange the items by importance. Do an item at the time; move undone ones to the next day's list.
- Consider to be nice to someone for example your partner, child, friend, colleague or take a pet! Stroking a pet can help you relax, and if you have a dog, it will force you also to exercise!
- Share your problems with a family member, a friend, or a counselor.
