Skin Conditions
Naturopathic treatments are often very successful at treating skin conditions such as eczema, acne, diaper dermatitis, psoriasis, and others. Many times there is an underlying cause that has been undiagnosed.
Healthy digestion plays a large role in the health and condition of your skin, as your skin is an organ of elimination for toxins just as your digestive and urinary tract are. When you are digesting and eliminating properly, your skin should look clear and healthy. Certain vitamins, minerals, diet changes, herbs and homeopathy also support healthy skin. Natural skin-care products work when combined with a treatment plan that addressed the skin from the inside-out.
Naturopathic treatment may include:
- Digestive health assessment
- May include stool analysis to examine levels of healthy & unhealthy bacterial flora, and the presence of necessary digestive enzymes.
- Supplementation to improve assimilation & elimination.
- Therapeutic nutrition
- Food allergy and sensitivity testing are very helpful in cases of eczema, psoriasis and autoimmune conditions.
- Anti-inflammatory diet plan
- Herbal Medicine
- Herbs may be used to improve the healing of the skin, to serve as a natural anti-bacterial agent against certain types of acne, to improve detoxification, and to balance hormones involved with certain skin disorders.
- Homeopathy
- Prescribed based on the individual, and extremely helpful for clearing up stubborn and recurring skin conditions once & for all!
