Studies have shown that there is a direct association of psoriasis with stress levels of the sufferer. The more is the stress level; more are the chances of you suffering from this disease. Not only can the stress trigger the disease but it can also sustain psoriasis. In some cases, the disease can aggravate if you have constant high levels of stress.

There is a medical reason between the relationship of the stress level and the psoriasis. Both the skin and the mind have the same origin in the womb which is referred to as the neuroectoderm. Skin happens to be the largest sensory organ of the human body. There are innumerable veins connecting the nervous system and the skin. Hence, there exists a direct relationship between the brain and the skin. All these veins are interlinked and are affected by the hormonal secretions. The stress level is affected by this network of veins. It is only logical that skin which is connected to brain in a direct way gets affected by changes in the hormonal secretions caused by the stress exerted on the mind.

It is for this reason that doctors suggest meditation as one of the measures to tackle with psoriasis.
