Herbs for Psoriasis & Eczema
I did some offline research on jewelweed and psoriasis today and
the results are listed below.
In Infopedia2, I found:
Balsam (Impatiens)
The garden balsam, or impatiens, is I. balsamina, of which cultivated
forms have been developed. I. capensis and I. pallida are called
jewelweed.

In The Herb Book by John Lust, I found:
Poison Ivy (Oak) Remedies
Euell Gibbons has had excellent results with a jewelweed decoction,
which can be preserved by freezing.

On The Herb Data Disk, it says:
For eczema, ringworm, leprosy, and psoriasis, use equal parts of
yellow dock root, burdock root, sarsaparilla root, and echinacea
root. Make a Standard Decoction by adding one teaspoon herbs per
cup of boiling water.
After adding herbs, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Drink 1 to 2 cups a day.

Hope this helps somebody.
