Clearing Acne Holistically
“Treat the root cause, heal the body as whole”
Acne is a normal issue which can be caused by multiple reasons including hormones, stress, gut health, diet, liver function and skin care. Our naturopath Emilia Alfaro aka @tierra.naturopathy is passionate about treating the root cause of your acne and supporting you on your health journey.
The skin is the last organ of elimination! If there is something funky happening on the inside then it’s going to show on the outside. Internal assistance through diet and herbal medicine is just as needed as external and with some conditions it’s the only answer.
Common reasons for stubborn acne:
- Post contraceptive pill (hormone imbalance from no ovulation)
- Stress (increases the hormone cortisol!Stress effects all your body systems including the last organ of elimination the skin!)
- Detoxing (when I say the liver important it’s REALLY important! It’s where we detoxify our hormones, toxins and wastes. If the liver isn’t working well then all that waste goes back into our bodies and out our skin)
- Gut (insufficient digestion, inflammation, lowered immune, hormone regulation)
- Diet (nutrient deficiencies means no building blocks for healthy skin)
- Skin care (sleeping with makeup on, over cleansing and exfoliating, picking at pimples)
If you feel you’re one of those people that has tried many different skin products and nothing is working maybe it’s time to dig in a little deeper with Emilia.
