This ointment has been especially formulated for psoriasis and contains several healing and anti-inflammatory herbs including evening primrose and hempseed oil that are high in essential fatty acids. EFA’s are essential for the healing and regeneration of skin cells. They also assist in protecting the moisture balance of the skin, which is particularly important in this condition where there is a high rate of cell reproduction versus a much lower rate of dead cell removal. Lavender is excellent for soothing and reducing inflammation on the skin.
