Each form works better for different symptoms - micro emulsions help reduce redness and swelling, gels help with itching, and ointments work better for scaling and thickened skin.

What are other patients saying?
Turmeric I believe was the biggest factor in my healing process. I mix in turmeric, ginger, lemon juice, honey and apple cider vinegar and drink this every morning. I say turmeric may be the biggest factor just due to the very noticeable improvements I saw once taking it.
