Dermatology

​Our skin is the largest organ in the body and one of the most complicated. Not only does skin hold everything in and provide a barrier between the outside environment and our body, it also plays a crucial role in temperature regulation, immune defence, vitamin production and sensation. When skin issues arise, your body is telling you there is something wrong inside.  Putting makeup on to cover up the problem will not get you anywhere. It is important to get a full picture of your body when treating skin conditions to address the root cause.

​Nutritional therapies, herbal medicine and acupuncture can have long lasting impact on people with various skin conditions.  Numerous research studies demonstrated nutritional approaches can reduce dermatological symptoms and bring value and relief to patients. Adjusting the diet is probably the most important pillar in treating persistent chronic skin conditions.  Filling out a Diet Diary and performing a Food Sensitivity Test is a good place to start in order to rule out the any proinflammatory foods you have been eating that is causing your skin problem.
