IS IT ONLY SKIN DEEP?

As the skin mirrors the general conditions of the body, skin problems are not usually merely local affections but are external manifestations of deeper underlying conditions present in one or more organs or parts of the body.

Skin problems are often related to adrenal insufficiency and in those with inflammatory skin or allergic response conditions - low stomach acid.  

The skin has been called the third kidney because it supports the other cleansing organs ie. liver, kidneys and lungs in eliminating wastes from the body.

When there are food sensitivities often there will be accompanying skin problems as the body attempts to through off the chemical constituents it finds incompatible. The skin will also start to excrete any overload in toxicity that the body is trying to get rid of when 'junk' foods have been eaten to excess. Think of the skin as a 'mirror' of the internal state of the body and take problems as warning signs that the body may need a detox or allergy testing which your health professional can organise.
