Healing the Skin


Book Description

Our skin is the visible barrier between what is inside and outside our bodies. It can respond with sensitivity to tender contact, allowing us to experience pleasure, or - should harmful influences come to bear - it can contract or erupt, causing pain. The increasing prevalence of various types of skin conditions in recent years is an indication of the fact that toxic influences are on the increase.

How To Tell Your Skin To Heal Itself

Hell, why write at all, when it is easier to prescribe creams, lotions, and shampoos? When there are millions of companies pouring in their monies to get better products? When scientific researchers are working hard to get better, stable, and friendlier creams out into a market that is ripe and ready to believe anything that a company will tell them...? Why, in the world of such quick fixes, am I, a dermatologist, stuck on to emotional healing? Because I know that products and treatments don't always give long-lasting results. And because I know what it is to look into the mirror and cry.
