The Japanese Indigo As A Psoriasis Treatment

That's why its not surprising that it's now being touted as a psoriasis treatment: High in tryptanthrin, a nitrogen-rich compound, Japanese Indigo flushes away all toxins and restores balance to the skin. Indirubin another compound derived from its leaves, diminishes and soothes red, dry patches and inflammation while simultaneously strengthening the skin’s natural barrier to boost resilience.

As the American Academy of Dermatology reported those with sensitive skin and conditions like psoriasis could benefit and perhaps could see better results using topical indigo than with topical steroids.
