Skin problems
Skin, where would we be without it? It keeps our insides in, protects us from infection, radiation and dehydration, keeps us warm and makes us look good.
The health of the skin is dependent on the nutrients it receives from the blood vessels in the underlying tissues, what you eat today is what you wear tomorrow. Deficiencies in vitamins and minerals can result in skin changes and many skin problems can be improved by nutritional therapy. Being under stress uses up many vital nutrients, so good nutrition can help in dealing with skin reactions linked to stress as well as stress in general.
How can Nutritional Therapy help?
If you suffer from skin problems such as eczema, dermatitis, psoriasis, acne, cellulite and excessively oily, dry or wrinkly skin, nutritional therapy can help by looking for:
-
Lack of nutrients or dietary deficiencies.
-
Possible food intolerance.
-
Poor digestion leading to poor nutrient uptake.
-
Poor detoxification leading the need for liver support.
-
Impact of stress.
-
Exposure of your skin to something it does not like.
