Skin and Allergies

Your skin is often the first messenger that your body will use in order to alert you to some imbalance that is occurring on the inside of your body.  Many skin and allergic conditions are due to an imbalance of the proper Essential Fatty Acids in the body taken in through an inappropriate diet.  Much of the Western Diet contains many allergens that can and do exacerbate atopic conditions such as asthma and eczema.  With proper nutritional counseling, hormone re-balancing and liver support, naturopathic medicine can do a lot to alleviate skin conditions (acne, roseacea, eczema, psoriasis, scarring…) and allergies (hayfever, food-related, environmental) whether they are chronic or seasonal and get to the root of the issue.
