Skin problems: personalized support

• Acne Acne: due to overproduction of sebum, hormonal imbalances, stress, poor diet, inflammation.
• Eczema: chronic inflammation with red patches and itching, often linked to allergies, stress or genetic factors.
• Psoriasis: an autoimmune disease that accelerates skin renewal, causing thick, painful patches.
• Rosacea: chronic redness of the face aggravated by stress, alcohol, spices or climatic variations.
• Dry/atopic skin: tightness, irritation and increased sensitivity, aggravated by climate or dehydration.
• Oily skin: excess sebum leading to pimples and blackheads.
• Vitiligo: depigmentation linked to the destruction of melanocytes.
• Hives: red, swollen, itchy patches triggered by allergies, stress or infection.
• Premature aging due to poor lifestyle habits

Diet and lifestyle play a key role in the development of skin disorders. They have a direct impact on our microbiota, our liver, our inflammation levels and, therefore, the quality of our skin.
An unbalanceddiet can cause inflammation, disrupt digestion, and overload the liver, all of which affect the appearance of the skin.
Conversely, a diet rich in beneficial nutrients supports internal functions, prevents imbalances, and allows the skin to regenerate more effectively.
By favoring anti-inflammatory foods, healthy fats, antioxidant vitamins, and fiber, we can directly address the possible causes of skin disorders.
In addition, proper hydration is essential for daily skin health and beauty.

Our skin is an emunctory organ, i.e. an elimination organ that takes over when the main elimination pathways are overloaded.
The 5 main emunctories :
Liver: filters blood toxins and transforms waste products.
Kidneys: filter waste via urine.
Intestines: eliminate solid residues and a large proportion of toxins.
Lungs: evacuate CO2 and certain volatile toxins.
Skin: perspiration, sebum... becomes a major elimination organ when the others are saturated.

When the liver, kidneys or intestines can no longer eliminate waste properly, the skin takes over. The result: pimples, eczema, excess sebum, redness...

Why clean the colon?
The purpose of colonic irrigation is to cleanse the large intestine, which is often clogged with :
- blocked food residues
- Remains of fecal matter
These residues produce toxins that can be reabsorbed into the bloodstream, overloading the liver and forcing the skin to take over.

Benefits observed with colon hydrology:
- Improvement of acne and eczema.
- Brighter, less congested skin.

In TCM, each organ is linked to a meridian, a season and an emotion. The Chinese medicine approach not only treats the symptom, but seeks to restore harmony between the internal organs and the body's surface.

Traditional Chinese Medicine considers the skin to be a natural emunctory, reflecting the body's inner balance. Rather than focusing solely on visible symptoms, it seeks the root cause in order to restore harmony between the organs and vital energy. By acting on the liver, lungs, spleen and other organs, TCM helps to reduce inflammation, strengthen natural defenses and improve energy circulation.

Using techniques such as acupuncture, it stimulates the body's ability to regenerate itself, resulting in healthier, brighter skin that's less prone to imbalances. This gentle, personalized approach aims for lasting well-being, from the inside out.

Chinese pharmacopoeia uses formulas based on medicinal plants carefully selected for their specific properties. These plants can have a draining, moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, detoxifying or digestive action, helping to relieve internal imbalances that impact the skin. By strengthening organs such as the lungs, liver or spleen, they promote better toxin elimination and energy rebalancing, helping to improve the skin's appearance and health over the long term.

Our specialized therapists Eric Zhao and Mickael Lett will guide you and give you the advice you need for healthy skin.

Naturopathy is a holistic approach that seeks to identify the root cause of a disorder. In the case of skin problems, it considers several aspects in particular:

• the person's condition (acidity, deficiencies, etc.)
• the body's toxic load,
• emotions or chronic stress,
• the state of digestion and emunctories.

Naturopathy views the skin as an organ that reflects the body's general state of health and balance. The root causes of skin problems are often digestive imbalances, stress, nutritional deficiencies or accumulated toxins. So by combining dietary advice, stress management, immune system support and detoxification techniques in ways that are personalized to each patient, naturopathy can help regenerate the skin.

Bioresonance is a method based on the use of electromagnetic frequencies to assess and balance the body's energies. This technique can be used to detect internal imbalances that may influence skin health, such as food intolerances or toxic overload. By rebalancing the body's energy frequencies, bioresonance helps restore harmony and can promote clearer, more balanced skin.

Skin problems can vary in severity and nature. Some skin conditions require the intervention of a healthcare professional (general practitioner or dermatologist). Here are some signs that it's time to see a doctor about a skin problem:

• Persistent or inflamed lesions
• Bleeding or ulcers
• Intense itching or discomfort
• Changes in the appearance of your skin
• Pain or sensitivity
• Associated systemic symptoms (fever, fatigue, pain)
• Skin problems linked to underlying conditions (hormonal disorders, autoimmune diseases, allergies, etc.).

When any of these symptoms appear, it's important to consult a professional who can make a precise diagnosis and recommend a suitable treatment to improve your skin health.

Skin problems are often a reflection of an internal imbalance. Rather than masking the symptoms, it is essential to adopt a holistic approach that takes into account diet, proper functioning of the elimination organs, energy balance, and overall well-being.
