Self Empowerment Through Natural Healing: Acne, Autoimmune Illness, and Allergies.

After years of dealing with the physical and emotional repercussions of severe acne, I began to learn that my other health problems were connected to it.

Through arthritis pain, chronic fatigue, migraines, and digestive problems I found help when I discovered I had gluten intolerance, also known as Celiac Disease. This was accompanied with Candida (too much yeast in the body) that had moved into my joints mimicking rheumatoid arthritis.

The cycle of this autoimmune illness can lead to other autoimmune illnesses over time if lifestyle changes are not made. Because it took me so many years to find doctors who knew more about this, I became weaker and developed many more allergies as a result.

However, my life has changed from seeking the causes of my ailments. I now grow healthier every day with alternative health options and I no longer fear the future.

I hope that anyone who finds this site is also uplifted emotionally along their journey to finding natural acne treatment.

One of the greatest gifts from nutrition therapy, allergy treatment, and natural acne care is the empowerment that you can receive from them.

By learning self healing methods through lifestyle changes you can take back control of your own body and ease your mind in the process.

When feeling physical pain or depression from inflammatory illnesses, it can be a challenge to open your mind and learn to love and help yourself.

I believe we all have the power to do this, exactly as we are right now.

Years ago I went on Accutane , multiple antibiotics, and synthetic hormones which ended up making my face so bad that I eventually went off due to my bad reactions to the medications.

I also became overwhelmed with depression and low self esteem as a result of my skin and health problems.

After I went off of synthetic drugs and hormones the acne lightened and I felt better. That is when I learned that traditional western medicine was not the route for me.

As I entered my twenties after college I learned that I was not going to outgrow my skin conditions. They were the result of a chronic systemic problem with food allergies, Gluten Intolerance, Candida, and inflammation triggering acne as a symptom.

As a result of these I also experienced years of chronic fatigue, digestive problems, depression, migraines, and arthritic joint pain. I was not looking forward to getting any older and I was only in my twenties.

So, I began studying the causes of my discomfort by working in alternative health centers and studying nutrition, energy healing, and holistic healthcare books, while also getting my license in skincare esthetics.

Healing With Alternative Health

I eventually gained control over my own acne and associated health problems by combining holistic medical care and nutrition with mind/body healing therapies.

Some major turning points for me were when I discovered alternative food allergy treatment through a holistic medical doctor and nutritionist. After combining this new lifestyle with natural acne treatment and mind/body stress reduction, my body finally began to heal.

Psychodermatology: Mind/Body & Skin Disorders About Natural Acne Treatment

There is now more research and support for the mental and emotional disorders associated with acne and other disfiguring skin diseases. Some dermatologists are now labeling this as psychodermatology.

Self Esteem, Depression, and Inflammatory Illness

I spent many years not living my life to the fullest because of my unhappiness about my physical appearance and the physical pain and discomfort of my personal health problems.

Until I felt more empowered and discovered that I could help myself, I did not gain relief from these feelings.

Even while I still had a lot of acne on my body, I had to learn to accept myself in that state before I could move on and become open to different healing methods.

Energy Medicine:Releasing Emotional and Physical Blockages

I am an avid believer in the power of energy medicine and acupuncture that stimulate self healing through the release of energetic blockages in the body.

I believe that by combining this with the help of traditional and alternative medicine practitioners, most illnesses can be improved.

I encourage anyone with similar skin disorders to seek further advice from professionals until they find the root causes of their discomfort, rather than the cover up.

Thank you for visiting. May you discover joy through healing,
