At Palasiet, we understand that living with psoriasis can affect more than just your skin — it can touch how you feel in your body, how you relate to others, and even how you show up in daily life. While there’s no universal cure, there are gentle, natural ways to soothe flare-ups and care for your wellbeing that go far beyond creams and prescriptions.

Over the years, we’ve seen that a more natural, caring approach — one that listens to the body and nurtures it gently — can make a real difference. From how you eat and move to where you find rest and calm, each element can help support your skin from the inside out. And in our setting by the sea, the path to relief feels as restorative as it is effective.

Understanding Psoriasis: Why Does It Happen?

Psoriasis is an inflammatory condition in which the skin regenerates faster than usual, leading to red, scaly patches that can be uncomfortable, itchy or even painful. It’s widely accepted that the immune system plays a role, but why psoriasis happens often has to do with a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental or emotional triggers.

Common contributing factors include:

Long-term stress
Poor sleep quality
Processed or inflammatory foods
Hormonal shifts or seasonal changes

From our perspective, it’s not just about what’s happening on the surface. The skin often reflects what’s happening within — physically, mentally and emotionally.

What Triggers Psoriasis and What Can Soothe It?

Every person’s experience with psoriasis is unique, but there are some widely recognised triggers:

Common triggers:

Emotional stress or anxiety
Excess alcohol or caffeine
Harsh weather (especially cold, dry climates)
Friction or injury to the skin

Gentle ways to soothe symptoms naturally:

Use fragrance-free, nourishing skincare
Bathe with lukewarm water and pat dry gently
Stay consistent with rest, hydration and calming routines

Taking time to calm the nervous system can often help reduce flare-ups.

Natural Approaches That Really Help

At Palasiet, we see the body as an integrated whole. When we treat the person — not just the symptoms — healing becomes more sustainable and less reactive.

Anti-inflammatory Nutrition

Your diet plays a fundamental role in managing inflammation.

Supportive foods:

Colourful vegetables, leafy greens and berries
Omega-3 rich fish like sardines and mackerel
Olive oil, nuts and seeds

To reduce or avoid:

Sugary or ultra-processed foods
Red meats, dairy (for some), and fried snacks
Alcohol and refined carbohydrates

Eating with presence and enjoyment also helps digestion — and that, in turn, supports your skin.

Movement and Gentle Exercise

Regular, mindful movement improves circulation, reduces stress hormones and supports detoxification — all helpful for managing psoriasis.

Try:

Walking near the sea or in nature
Low-impact swimming or hydrotherapy
Stretching or yoga to release tension

Mindfulness and Stress Reduction

Stress is a well-known trigger for many skin conditions. Building daily practices that invite calm can have a ripple effect on your skin health.

You don’t need a complicated routine:

Five minutes of conscious breathing
A quiet walk in the sun
Listening to calming music or guided meditations

What matters is showing up for yourself — gently and consistently.

The Power of the Sea: Seawater Therapy for Psoriasis

Nature offers some of the most powerful tools for healing, and the sea is no exception. At Palasiet, we use thalassotherapy — the therapeutic use of seawater, algae and marine elements — to support skin, circulation and immune balance.

How does seawater therapy help?

Seawater is mineral-rich and naturally anti-inflammatory
It helps cleanse and calm irritated skin
Marine mud and algae wraps promote detox and nourishment

Guests often tell us that being by the sea, breathing in the salt air, and immersing themselves in warm seawater helps them feel more at ease — inside and out.

Psoriasis Support at Palasiet: Personalised and Restorative

We know that no two cases of psoriasis are the same. That’s why we take the time to listen and create personalised programmes designed to support each guest’s needs — physically, emotionally and energetically.

A stay at Palasiet might include:

A Mediterranean-inspired anti-inflammatory meal plan
Seawater therapies and marine body treatments
Mindfulness coaching and gentle movement sessions
Skin-supportive treatments using natural, fragrance-free products

All set within a peaceful natural setting designed to help you reconnect and recharge.

Treating Psoriasis with Kindness and Care

Living with psoriasis doesn’t mean surrendering to it. By taking a gentle, informed and natural approach, it’s possible to create a lifestyle that supports both your skin and your sense of self.

At Palasiet, we believe in care that respects the individual. If you’re looking for a calm, supportive place to improve your wellbeing, we’re here to guide you — not only with treatments, but with kindness, experience and presence.

Because healing isn’t just about what you do. It’s also about where you are, how you feel, and how deeply you’re supported along the way.
