Aim to take around 280 mg per day. You can also increase your omega-3 intake by adding foods like fish to your diet. Always talk to your doctor before you add a new supplement. Omega-3's can interact with some medications, and your doctor can tell you if these are safe for you. Curcumin is thought to have anti-inflammatory and pain-reducing properties. Try adding food like turmeric, which is a great source of curcumin, to your daily diet. You can also take turmeric as a supplement in tablet or capsule form. Turmeric is used widely in many Indian and southeast Asian dishes, including curries. You can buy fresh turmeric root from a specialty food store, or get ground turmeric as a spice from most grocery stores. You can also try drinking a cup of turmeric tea once a day to add curcumin to your diet. Oats have natural soothing properties. While there isn't any scientific evidence that supports treating psoriasis with oat baths, many patients say they feel better afterward. To make an oat bath, grind 1-2 cups raw, unflavored oats in a blender to make a powder. Then, sprinkle the powder directly in a warm bathtub. Soak in the tub for at least 15 minutes to get the full benefits of the oats.
