Psoriasis is a chronic skin condition that affects millions of people around the world, regardless of age or gender. It is not uncommon to see psoriasis in children as well. This autoimmune condition causes the skin cells to divide rapidly, resulting in red, scaly, and sometimes painful plaques.
What causes psoriasis?
Although the exact causes of psoriasis are still unclear, factors like stress, infections, genetic predisposition, and lifestyle often exacerbate it. Conventional medicine offers various therapies, but more and more people are seeking natural ways to manage the symptoms.
One of the proven natural solutions is the use of herbs. In Bulgaria, the abundance of medicinal plants has inspired generations to seek help in nature. Among them, St. John’s Wort stands out — a plant known for its powerful anti-inflammatory and healing properties.
In this blog, we’ll explore what psoriasis is, how St. John’s Wort can help, and how you can achieve long-lasting relief with the Ralchevi family’s natural products — Psoriasis RoutINA™.
What is psoriasis and how does it affect the skin?
Psoriasis is a chronic condition characterized by the appearance of scaly patches, most often on the elbows, knees, scalp, and back. Psoriasis on the face is also possible. These patches form due to the rapid turnover of skin cells — a process that normally takes about 28 days but can happen in just 3-4 days with psoriasis. This results in a build-up of dead skin cells on the surface, creating the typical plaques.
Is psoriasis contagious?
No, psoriasis is not a contagious condition. This means that even if you have contact with someone who has psoriasis, there is absolutely no risk of developing it yourself.
The main symptoms of psoriasis include:
-
Red or pink patches with flaky skin.
-
Dryness and cracking, sometimes accompanied by pain.
-
Itching and burning sensations.
-
Sometimes – joint inflammation (psoriatic arthritis).
Treatment typically focuses on reducing inflammation, regulating cell growth, and keeping the skin hydrated. But what role can herbs play?
How do herbs help with psoriasis?
Many medicinal plants contain active ingredients that can relieve the symptoms of psoriasis. They act as:
-
Anti-inflammatory agents that reduce redness and swelling.
-
Antioxidants that protect the skin from free radicals.
-
Soothing agents that relieve itching and irritation.
-
Regenerative ingredients that support skin healing.
Among Bulgarian herbs, St. John's Wort is especially popular due to its broad-spectrum effects on skin issues.
St. John's Wort – the miracle herb against psoriasis
St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum) is one of the oldest and most respected medicinal herbs in the world. It is widespread in Bulgaria and has long been used in folk medicine to treat skin problems, burns, wounds, and inflammation.
The key active ingredients in St. John's Wort include:
-
Hypericin and hyperforin – with powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
-
Flavonoids – act as antioxidants protecting the skin from damage.
-
Tannins – have an astringent effect that supports wound healing.
How does St. John's Wort help with psoriasis?

-
Accelerates regeneration – helps damaged skin recover faster thanks to its regenerative properties.
-
Relieves itching – its soothing ingredients reduce discomfort.
-
