Dermatitis,
Eczema, Psoriasis, Urticaria, Prickly Heat; Perspiration, Sunburn, Dandruff, all disorders that appear on our skin.
Why do we suffer with skin issues?
What
causes our skin to break out?
How do we alleviate ourselves from suffering with
embarrassing, uncomfortable and sometimes painful skin disorders?
The skin:
the largest organ of our bodies – when we think of the skin the first thing
that comes to my mind is the constant emphasis on vanity. How our skin looks,
the complexion of our skin, the way our skin feels; it’s the first thing people
see when we look at each other and we all want our skin to look good.
But did you
know…Holistically, when looking at the skin - it shows what’s going on
internally with your health.
The medical
field has created very cool and complicated names for all kinds of skin
disorders, but at the end of the day, holistically it’s all the same thing. An
imbalance within the Integumentary system, an imbalance within circulatory
system, and an imbalance within the digestive system.
Our skin is
constantly under attack from external contaminants – toxic air, chemical
lotions & creams, dirty surfaces, allergens, makeup, other people, hair
products… you name it. On a 24 hour basis in some form or another, our skin touches
or is touched by external impurities. Then internally when you consume an
excess amount of foods that are processes, refined, hydrogenated or genetically
modified this causes a toxic environment inside of the bodies.
What happens
next is these contaminants go into our blood stream, and stimulates an immune
system response. When the body’s systems aren't strong enough to remove the
pollutants, slowly but surely yeast & mucous builds up, and bacteria & parasites
colonize within us. This also leads to dehydration of liquids and the
deficiency of nutrients within the body. After years and years of pollutants
coming in and not exiting out the volume of impurities becomes over consuming
to the internal body and starts moving outward.
Think of it this way bacteria
new in the town called your body finds a nice location to set up shop for
itself and its family… Colonville. As the family grows Colonville becomes
like a small town; just isn’t big enough for the entire family to thrive. So
lil’ bacteria family members move out and venture for another nice, warm,
moist location… years later… Colonville, Pancreas Town, Stomach City, The Urban
area of the Kidney, all are fully colonized regions and flourishing with a
variety of micro-organisms. But, the rich, strong, and thriving bacteria they
make it to the surface… “Skin Metropolis”, The Free Land, The Utopia for
Externally Living.

Unfortunately,
when this occurs - Now it becomes a problem for us.
Let’s take a
look a few of the fancy named skin orders. All are disorders show up externally
on the skin, in the form of red, yellow or white bumps, raised swollen areas,
dry flaky patches, and may have an irritating itch. There are a lot of fancy
external formulas that are made for the skin discomforts, but they only provide
temporary relief and contribute to you now developing side effects. This is
because you haven’t changed any of your external or internal habits.
There are many different causes that contribute to the effect:
Eczema can be caused by a
reaction to metals, detergents, flower allergens and it can also be
hereditary. Urticaria aka “Hives” or
“Nettle Rash” can be caused by heat, food additives, stress or anxiety.
Psoriasis also hereditary can be triggered by cold damp conditions, stress, and
anxiety. Understanding the symptoms that come along with the disorder will aid you
in pin -pointing the problem and then enable you in finding ways to treat and
eradicate the disorder.
Making
changes in your life will get you to the road of recovery much faster than
superficial therapies – Stop eating
foods that contribute to the buildup of yeast and mucous within your body [refined
sugars, trans-fat, saturated fats in excess, processed foods, GMO foods, etc…].
Stop using chemical products that are poisonous to your body [deodorants,
lotions, makeup cleansers, hormone creams, etc…]. Stop letting your emotions
control your life [depression, anger, fear, worry, ego, etc…]
Start using
natural products and remedies to aid your recovery from illnesses – Start eating more plant based foods to your
meals – Start practicing meditation – Start saying positive affirmations –
Start drinking alkaline water everyday all day – Start educating yourself on
ways to live healthier and a happier life.
