SKIN DISORDERS

Just like our gut, our skin has a unique microbiome. When out of balance it can greatly influence the ability of our skin to remain healthy and perform important functions like protection and detoxification.

The state of our skin can be a reflection of the state of our internal health. Often if there are issues with our skin, we need to look deeper within the body. Assessing digestion and gut health, allergies and intolerances, liver function, nutritional status, hormonal and nervous system imbalances.

Naturopathic treatment can be extremely effective in addressing a variety of skin disorders including:

• dermatitis

• hives

• dry and flaky skin

• dandruff

• acne

• rosacea

• psoriasis

• fungal skin infections

When working with a client on alleviating skin complaints, I am always on the hunt for what is the underlying cause. Often treatment involves a combination of providing relief topically whilst supporting and strengthening pertinent systems in the body to assist healing.

Correcting nutritional deficiencies, removing food intolerances and other allergens, improving digestive health, correcting hormonal imbalances and providing herbal support can be extremely helpful in the treatment of skin disorders.
