Psoriasis is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disease whose skin changes are its most visible sign. It covers approximately 1 - 3% of the world population, and the National Psoriasis Foundation (NFP) in the United States estimated the number of patients in the whole world at about 125 millions. \nPsoriasis primarily affects the skin, burdening patients with inflamed, pruritic, sometimes painful lesions covered with whitish scales, that last for years.\nBecause of the disease prevalence in general population, the diversity of the clinical picture (from a minimal and localized lesions without subjective symptoms to life-threatening conditions), disease duration (practically a lifetime), psoriasis is a disease in the focus of modern medicine, and the therapeutic options for the treatment of psoriasis are currently very numerous and diverse. \nConventional treatment of psoriasis is carried by the so-called principle of \"steps\", where treatment options are applied according to the severity of illnes, assessed by a physician.\nApart from the official therapy for psoriasis, as it is defined and understood in modern developed societes, today in modern word exists in parallel a great number of traditional, complementary and alternative psoriasis treatments, which are based on the beliefs, experiences and theories inherent to different cultures.\nIn this paper we present the most popular and commonly used therapeutic procedures in the treatment of psoriasis belonging to complementary and alternative medicine.
