Traditional Treatments in the Modern Age

Psoriasis is a “classic” skin disorder and treated for over a millennia. Therefore, many treatment regimens have developed over generations. This opens the door for utilization of traditional therapies borrowing from traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda and other disciplines. However, data to support these interventions is not clear. This activity will review some ancient therapies for psoriasis, review the data to support their adoption into a regimen, and attempt to point out areas of potential innovation.

The Microbiome and Women's Health

The microbiome is an important part of vaginal health. Antibiotics and products may alter the microbiome and dysbiosis can lead to inflammation and overgrowth of different organisms leading to conditions such as vaginal yeast infections. This activity will review how the gut microbiome may influence circulating hormones and strategies to maintain a healthy microflora. The use of natural approaches and probiotic supplementation will be reviewed.
