Holistic and natural health practitioners look at the skin as mirroring a myriad of health problems – a reflection of internal health connected to specific toxic overload within the body.
Understanding toxic overload, resulting skin problems and the importance of cleansing within, helps us guide our clients to achieving healthier, more beautiful skin, as well as a renewed overall sense of well-being.
Every moment, individuals are exposed to thousands of toxic chemicals in air, water, food, household and laundry products, personal care products, plastics, dry-cleaned clothing, wrinkle and stain resistant treated fabrics, synthetic fragrances, food preservatives, additives, flavor enhancers, and medications. They ingest, inhale and absorb these toxins- each one a foreign, unnatural substance that either is metabolized by their organs or stored within the body. Researchers at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) analyzed samples of blood and urine from 2,500 men, women and children, and identified dozens of man-made chemicals that were being stored within their bodies – many within the soft and connective tissues.
The body continuously is on autopilot, cleansing and rejuvenating itself without conscious effort. Unfortunately, because the detoxification processes are invisible, most individuals go about daily living without giving any thought to the accumulated toxins stored within the bodies. When toxins constantly are dumped into the organs faster than the organ’s ability to neutralize and cleanse the body effectively, this constant buildup literally prevents the life force from manifesting health, beauty, energy and stamina.
When we add other lifestyles factors, such as dehydration, lack of exercise, excess caffeine, stress, anxiety, constipation, and insufficient consumption of fresh vegetables, the body becomes malnourished and toxic, with skin disorders being one of the end results.
The skin is the body’s largest organ of detoxification. It works to support the body by excreting toxins that are linked to skin disorders- from serious skin problems and acne to signs of premature aging and wrinkles. The skin reflects not just the health of the inner body, but the level of toxic overload as well. Clinical experience has shown that it is more important to care for the skin from the inside. When the internal toxic load is reduced, clearer, more radiant skin occurs. This includes a more youthful appearance, healthier skin, increased energy and stamina and enhanced mental functions.
