5 Essential Oils You Need If You Suffer From Psoriatic Arthritis

psoriatic arthritis

Psoriasis can be difficult to manage for those who have it, as well as arthritis and having to suffer from both at the same time can take a toll on anyone’s mental, emotional and of course physical health. Though there are medical treatments that help relieve pain, sometimes those treatments aren’t enough and can be pretty costly. Fortunately, there are other remedies to help relieve pain that won’t have you breaking the bank. 

How Psoriatic Arthritis Affects You Daily

Living with psoriatic arthritis can cause a lot of stress on your mind and body. Psoriatic arthritis usually develops when a person is already diagnosed with psoriasis so its symptoms are both skin and arthritic symptoms.

These symptoms include stiffness, swelling and joint pain and can last for periods at a time. This can be disruptive to one’s daily life since there is no cure for this chronic disease. 

Physically suffering from joint pain daily and swelling can stop someone from doing simple activities such as getting up and going to work, cooking dinner for themselves or family members because of its effect on the joints in your fingers, or being able to simply walk from one area of the room to the next. It also weakens your knees and your muscles.
