The invention discloses a traditional Chinese medicine composition for treating psoriasis. The traditional Chinese medicine composition is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 5-15 parts of radix paeoniae rubra, 3-9 parts of rhizoma curcumae, 10-20 parts of glabrous sarcandra herb, 10-20 parts of rhizoma smilacis glabrae and 5-15 parts of dark plum. The traditional Chinese medicine composition has the following benefits: the treating effect can be achieved by virtue of a relatively small dose, the toxicity is remarkably reduced, the traditional Chinese medicine composition takes effect relatively fast, and recurrence can be delayed; the traditional Chinese medicine has a more outstanding effect on common psoriasis (PASI 50 can reach 60%); especially for an early-onset psoriasis patient, such complications as cardiovascular events, psoriasis arfhropathica and diabetes can be reduced (for a patient who takes the traditional Chinese medicine composition, the complication rate can be lowered by 20%); therefore, the traditional Chinese medicine composition can remarkably improve the life quality of the psoriasis patients, and has a better effect.
