| Psoriasis M-Folia FAQs - frequently Asked QuestionsListed below are common questions we receive about M-Folia™ products with brief answers. If you have additional questions, please complete the feedback form.
Yes. Both the cream and ointment may be used on the face. However, great care should be taken to avoid contact with the eyes, as this could cause irritation.
A few people do experience an initial worsening of symptoms, but usually this soon passes and beneficial effects are commonly seen within 12 weeks. If you do have any severe reaction, please consult your doctor.
M-Folia™ M-Folia™ herbal extract works from the inside-out and therefore is an ideal complement o topical applications. However, please note that those who are taking other medications of any kind and pregnant women should seek the advice of their doctor or consultant before taking any herbal products internally.
The m-folia herbal extract contains the alkaloids and anti-inflammatory agents, whereas homoeopathic tablets work on a different level. Homeopathic-type tablets are particularly suitable if: you have acute symptoms
Both the cream and the ointment contain the same strength of Mahonia aquifolium. Ointment tends to penetrate more than the cream and creates a protective ‘film’ over the skin. However, it does tend to be a little greasy, causing a shiny appearance on the skin, and may rub off on clothing. The cream, on the other hand, is less greasy and more quickly absorbed into the skin. For these reasons, we recommend that cream be used in the daytime and the ointment at night.
m-folia™ body lotion is not as potent as cream or ointment, but is an ideal complement topical application where large areas are affected. It also acts as a preventative treatment to help keep the skin clear.
m-folia™ shampoo and scalp oil may be used separately, but they have been developed to be used together to give the best possible scalp and hair treatment.
Conditioning cream rinse was formulated after we received a number of reports from customers who found their traditional hair conditioner irritated their scalp. M-Folia™ conditioning cream rinse is designed to nourish and give body to the hair without the use of harsh chemicals and with an emulsified solution of mahonia aquifolium to revitalise the scalp.
Yes. We recommend that m-folia™ scalp oil is left on for at least 15 minutes, but for best results it should be left on overnight.
Yes. All m-folia™ products are perfectly safe for children of all ages. However, m-folia™ tablets are NOT suitable for very young infants as the tablets are small and may be inadvertently inhaled.
Yes. In the UK, doctors can and do prescribe M-Folia. You need to take the details to your GP and ask him or her to prescribe it for you. If you want copies of research papers, we can send them to you or direct to your GP.
It is not uncommon for people to experience an initial adverse reaction.This is usually part of the healing process and is more common if you have been using steroidal (cortisone-based) products in the recent past. In this situation: the scales/flakes of the skin will seem to be coming off more than usual.
If only elbows and knees are affected – cream and ointment should suffice
