Therapies & Eczema & Psoriasis
How can Complementary Therapies help my skin condition?
Research shows that stress can play a key role in aggravating skin conditions such as Eczema and Psoriasis, so finding time to relax is important. Complementary therapies help by calming down the body’s response to stress.
In Chinese medicine, skin conditions are regarded as a sign of an internal weakness in the lungs, liver or kidney’s. Treatments such as Reflexology stimulate pressure points that represent these organs. This helps to bring the body back in to balance and eliminate toxins in these areas.
Some treatments such as Aromatherapy also benefit skin conditions directly as essential oils can be blended to suit your skin type and can help to soothe inflammation and reduce itching. Calendula Oil and Evening Primrose Oil in particular have been shown to bring relief to dry and blistered eczema. A gentle aromatherapy massage will leave your skin feeling nourished and you feeling completely relaxed.
