7. Psoriasis
As discussed, the hormones DHEA and cortisol help the body deal with rising levels of inflammation that result in the skin condition psoriasis. This skin disorder presents itself as a large discolored scab known as “plaques.” People with healthy adrenal function do not tend to suffer from this dermatological disorder.
The relationship between the adrenal glands and psoriasis is a complicated web of immune mechanisms. Treating both the symptoms of adrenal fatigue and psoriasis at the same time increases the chances of recovering from both disorders.
Unfortunately, symptoms of adrenal fatigue often go untreated. The condition is not recognized as a distinct syndrome by mainstream western medicine and is often confused with Addison’s disease during diagnosis.
At some stage of treatment for psoriasis, people may benefit from adrenal therapy as well. Treating the symptoms of adrenal fatigue alongside psoriasis can show dramatic improvement in the health of the skin, especially with individuals that have recurring psoriatic plaques.
