Jerusalem ---- March 7 ...... Although Psoriasis has been incurable, it has been possible to relieve the symptoms by various treatments which slow down the pace of cell mitosis and the skin inflammation. A combination of ointments and their adjustment to the patient enables, in most cases, significant reduction of symptoms to a degree of almost absolute "cleanup" of the skin. Today, doctors in North America, Europe and Asia are talking about a psoriasis treatment cream from the Dead Sea in Israel as a possible cure.

In the past few years it has been discovered that prolonged use of ointments which include strong steroids cause irreversible damage to the skin. In addition, it has been proven, that the skin gets used to steroid ointments to such extent, that every few weeks one has to increase the "strength" of the ointment in order to reach the same results. Moreover, people with Psoriasis have realized that after having stopped treatment with steroids, very often there is an aggravation of symptoms – a rebound phenomenon.

A new sort of psoriasis treatment cream based on full vegetal extraction and vitamin D enriched may bring improvement in treating mild to medium cases of psoriasis, doctors say. This cream called Psoherba is produced in Israel and is more convenient to use than creams containing cortisones and or steroids.

Years of experience with this psoriasis cream with people suffering from psoriasis and otopic dermatitis, both in Israel and worldwide, showed evident improvement with no significant side effects in hundreds of patients treated with this psoriasis cream. Even those who have not responded to treatments with other creams or phototherapy have reported satisfactory results after using this cream.

An additional advantage of the Psoherba psoriasis cream is that it is 100 percent natural and safe to use both for adults and children.

Recently day therapy units for treatment of psoriasis have been developed in Israel and worldwide. It is possible to combine treatment in these units together with use of the cream and then be exposed to UV for 20-30 minutes. The conspicuous advantage of this method is that the psoriasis patient continues with his normal daily routine without having to be hospitalized or travel to the Dead Sea.

Another advantage of the psoriasis cream is its pleasant smell and the fact that it is not oily and does not stain cloths. Thus there is no more need to use unpleasant smelling ointments in the home, and the patient can get dressed immediately after cream has been absorbed in the skin. Unfortunately, no permanent remedy has yet been found for psoriasis. The correct treatment can make the situation disappear for prolonged periods of months and even years. In order to ensure prolonged intermissions of the disease it is important to adjust the treatment to the severity of the situation and persist with the treatment even when the infected areas are very few.

Regular treatment of the disease when still on "small flame" may prevent its aggravation in the future.

Many people suffer from scalp psoriasis. In most cases there are wide red layers covered with thick white scurf causing bothersome itch. The afflicted areas are mostly on the edges of the forehead, the scruff, and behind the ears. In some cases the red areas cause troublesome itch which may result in skin injury and secretions. The psoriasis treatment always begins with daily hair wash with anti-dandruff shampoo. After washing the hair all water excess must be absorbed and then the Psoherba cream is spread over the inflicted area until completely absorbed. For optimal results this treatment should be repeated twice a day for two weeks.

Doctors from New York and London to Paris and Tokyo have started to speak about Psoherba as a new and efficient near cure for psoriasis. Although no permanent remedy has yet been found for Psoriasis, we do have some good news for you: innovation in the name of Psoherba – a cream representing a new generation of preparations without steroids or tar – is now offered to patients and is designated to slow down the pace of development of the disease and relieve their suffering.

The Psoherba is a medical cosmetic preparation, based on extraction of medicinal herbs.

Dr. Zeev Pam, a specialist for skin diseases, states that treatment with psoriasis creams containing steroids and tar is efficient but may turn harmful in the long run. "The steroids destroy the skin, and in addition the body gets used to them and they stop having effect to the extent that when the disease aggravates there is nothing one can use to ease the situation. Moreover, when one stops using them the disease breaks out in a more severe manner. The tar was also discovered as causing cancer, which enhanced the search for other solutions.

"The advantage of the Psoherba is in what's in it and in what there isn't in it" says Dr. Pam.
"Since it does not have steroids one can use it for prolonged periods without any side effects. On the other hand, usually the various types of treatment of Psoriasis dry the skin and require the use of more moist and lubricious ointments. The composition of Psoherba has a better therapeutic effect than other natural creams."

Chemist Avner states that the effectiveness of the Psoherba is that it is based on medicinal herb extraction performed in a unique method which retains the curative qualities of the herbs and on the synergy which neutralizes the active ingredients of the herb. The percentage of active ingredients made of natural extraction is a lot bigger in the Psoherba than in other firms in the market.

The Psoherba psoriasis treatment cream includes some very unique herbs, the extraction of which has been proven to be very efficient in cases of skin infections and skin diseases, such as: Psoriasis and Otopic Dermatitis. Some psoriasis creams and ointments, which are available in the market, contain salicylic acid, which in the short run cause molting of lumps of unripe dandruff cells, thereby encouraging the body to produce more and more skin cells. Moreover, these acids can harm the skin when exposed to the sun. they cause oversensitivity of the skin and may cause skin cancer.

The color of the Psoherba is usually khaki-green, like olive oil. However, since it is made of natural extraction, its color may change as it is influenced by pigmentation of one of the plants. There is a way to differentiate between natural cream and cream which contains high percentages of chemicals: the brighter the cream, the fewer are its plant extractions.

Psoriasis patients are now proud to relate their positive experiences with Psoherba.
E. H. , a tourist guide from Jerusalem, wrote: "I suffer from mild to medium degree of psoriasis, on the elbows and various spots on the scalp. On the 22nd or 23rd of March this year I received an experimental pack of Psoherba psoriasis cream, approx. 50 CC. The cream was used on chosen areas and lasted for three weeks. Other areas were treated with other types of cream. I felt that in those areas treated with the Psoherba cream the improvement was a lot greater than in the areas treated with other creams. When I stopped using the cream, the symptoms reappeared gradually. I would conclude, that in spite of the not-so-cheap price of the Psoherba, the benefit against cost is definitely positive and I'm intending to start treatment again. This time I'll make sure to have reserves of the cream so that I will not have to interrupt the treatment again.

Y. M. of Rishon L'Zion in Israel raved in a recent letter: "I confirm with thanks the receipt of the Psoherba psoriasis treatment cream. After treatment which lasted 14 days upon medical recommendation, the sensitivity to the itch decreased significantly. The redness almost disappeared. The psoriasis cream forms a delicate soft skin texture, thereby improving the external look of the skin. Many thanks again for your initiative and good will in helping to bring significant relief to psoriasis patients. I wish many enterprises to follow your example. I shall be glad to receive information on other preparations produced by your firm, which can help us in our problem."

Soma Herba was founded in 1978 by Dr. Arie Abraham, a biochemist with a background of 40 years in research and development of plant-based products and medicines. He had worked for many years at the Vulcani Institute and Teva Pharmaceutical Company, where his specialization was medicinal herbs. His vast knowledge in this area made him internationally known in the scientific community. After performing a survey for the Israel Ministry of Agriculture, searching for active materials in plants that grow in Israel, Dr. Abraham started his long voyage into what would become his special love: herbal health products and cosmetics.

Soma Herba started out as Intergen. Dr. Abraham, with two other biochemists, founded this lab, which specialized in growing herbs rich in active materials for the Teva Pharmaceutical Company. After a while, Dr. Abraham decided to start his own lab, producing what was then still very new: herbal cosmetics. He cooperated with dermatologists, holistic practitioners and cosmetologists, using his knowledge in developing products that promote skin health and beauty, using herbs and other natural ingredients, and without the use of synthetic chemicals.

"Our skin is a vital organ, affected by the environment in ways that influence not only the way we look but our overall health," said Abraham. "Everyday protection, nourishment and hydration bolster the skin's immunity against the effects of the environment. It is also well known today that the skin reacts in its own way to the slightest imbalance, both physical and emotional, and its requirements vary accordingly."

With this in mind, Dr. Abraham observed the various desert plants that grow in the southern part of Israel, and succeeded in isolating the active materials that enable them to flourish there despite environmental extremes typical of the desert.

"Abraham consulted colleagues who specialized in dermatology, and implemented all this knowledge in the development of his then revolutionary herbal cosmetics and skin-care products," said Ilana, a respected manufacturer of psoriasis treatement cream from the Dead Sea.

"He used to go out and gather plants from mountains and deserts, extract them in his lab, and then make his various creams and salves. As time went by and more people started using and enjoying his products for the treatment of psoriasis and production became more technologically advanced. But the emphasis he placed on quality and the use of natural ingredients in a psoriasis treatment cream never changed."
