Dietary Advice

A number of skin problems have a nervous origin or are connected with allergies. In my own clinical experience, I find that itching skin is commonly related to coffee, oranges and grains, especially bran.

The problem of allergies is very complex and if you suspect that allergies may be the cause of you acne, I would suggest visiting your natural practioner to determine and to treat it. As a general rule try to avoid all refined, processed, packaged, canned, bottled and frozen food and allow minimal intake of fats, oils, meat, nuts and seeds.

One of the best skin cleansing juices can be taken two times a day – it’s a mixture of juiced celery, carrot and green bean with a little parsley or watercress added. This juice mixture works as cleanser, removing toxins from the body. Also adding fresh sprouts, especially alfalfa and fenugreek to your salads or sandwiches will speed up cleansing process.

Include a wide variety of raw and steamed vegetables and raw fruit in your meals. Have a high-fibre diet with a range of whole grains including buckwheat, millet, oats, brown rice and rye, instead of having wheat everyday. Use lentils and dried beans and have fish as a good protein choice.

If you are vegan or vegetarian, seek professional advice to ensure you are getting adequate protein and other essential nutrients in your diet.

Take one capsule or one teaspoon of Lecithin per day - It is needed by every cell in the body and is a key building block of cell membranes. Lecithin protects cells from oxidation and helps with regeneration and renewal of skin cells.

Soaps

Unless otherwise indicated by the manufacturer, soaps are alkaline.

Ideally, the skin should be slightly acidic so if you have a skin problem it may be wise not to use any soap for a trial period of about four weeks. If the problem clears in that time it may be that you have an allergy to something in the particular soap you have been using, or your skin does not return to the desired acid level after washing and so this leads to the bacterial imbalance. Using diluted apple cider vinegar or diluted fresh lemon juice as external skin toners will help restore the acid balance.

You can now buy soaps that pH (acid) balanced or neutral. Consider trying natural Goats Milk soap or Olive Oil soap from your health food store.

Some alternatives to soap are –
Sorbolene cream – apply, gently rub in with water, then rinse off (this can also be used for shaving)
Any edible oil – macadamia, almond, avocado, etc.. – apply, tissue off, then splash skin with warm water
Rolled Oats – place in a stocking with the top tied, let hot water run on it, allow to cool; splash on face or use as a bath

For awhile now, it’s been noticed that food and environmental allergies or sensitivities can be impediment to a healthy skin. Medical science also discovered a link between an intestinal wall and sensitivities. Fragments or substances that should stay in the intestines and be excreted can end up in the bloodstream, joints and other organs. Some of those “toxic fragments” even resemble parts of our body structure or microorganisms. Considering all the truly unnatural chemicals in our food and environment, it’s hardly surprising that body may become confused and many skin problems may be a result of such toxic fragments.

If your skin problem is obstinate, I’d suggest a “full-on naturopathic” treatment of a short fast or special diet, avoidance of all chemicals (within reason), special baths, whole foods and a month or two of high-dose, quality Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteria supplements. Then you may be more responsive to remedies.

I am hopping that you will be encouraged to take an active interest in your health but I am also relying on your common sense. For example, when using external applications, try remedy on a small test patch first, under the arms being particularly sensitive area. Serious skin diseases and infections should be professionally diagnosed and treated.

Any of the natural remedies may well suit you, or you might prefer to get confirmation from your practitioner that one or more may be the most appropriate for your particular case. Generally, natural practitioners use herbal formulas, plus a supplement, and invariably will suggest dietary and lifestyle improvements.

Treatment Time

There are hundreds of skin diseases, many of them being difficult to diagnose and treat, and, frequently, a remedy that works for one person will not be effective for another.

Certain conditions do not need treatment, apart from soothing or moisturizing cream, but require the removal of an irritant. A number of skin problems are worsened by stress.

When treating skin problems, you need to have some patience, because improvement is rarely dramatic, and I would recommend continuing with the treatment for a reasonable period following the appearance of the lesions. Where skin condition has persisted for many years, a rough guide to treatment time is one month for every year suffered. I use word suffered because we need to be reminded of the embarrassment, poor self-image and sometimes physical restrictions and pain brought about by skin conditions.

Skin - your biggest organ

The skin is not just a covering of the body; it is an organ supplied by nerves, blood and lymph. It shares in the role of elimination and so is related to the kidneys, lungs, liver and bowels. A problem in one of those organs is frequently reflected in the others. This is why some skin problems are not helped by external applications. For example, if the kidneys are not filtering the blood effectively, then this places an additional burden on the skin’s eliminative function and the result may be skin eruptions.

My recommendation is to do something at the first sign of any skin problem because a relatively minor problem can spread and intensify. See if you can relate the outbreak to a particular activity or food, perhaps something different in the diet, or something in excess. Were you exposed to a particular plant, chemical or drug? Did you use a different washing powder, wear something new, have too much exposure to the sun or came in contact with a possible infection?

Sunlight is healthy and necessary but a little is good and a lot harmful, so for the sake of your skin avoid sunbathing and working in strong sunlight without protection
