The good skin solution Natural healing for eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and acne

Shann Nix Jones

Book - 2017

Eczema is the most common skin disorder in the industrialized world. Until now, there has been no real solution to this problem. Steroid creams prescribed by doctors may keep symptoms at bay temporarily, but do not resolve the problem permanently. And eczema seldom rides alone - it's part of a larger 'allergic march'. If someone has eczema in childhood, chances are that they will also develop food allergies, hay fever, and eventually, asthma. The good news is that the allergic march can be interrupted. In this book, natural health author Shann Nix Jones shows that eczema is not actually a skin condition - it's an autoimmune disorder. In order to heal the skin, you have to first heal the gut. In this book, Shann shares he...r natural healing wisdom on healing skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and acne, by healing the gut, in particular with the help of the probiotic drink kefir. You will learn astonishing things about new ways to care for your own body, your immune system, and your microbiome - the 2 kg of bacteria that sit inside your gut, and control the appearance and glowing health of your own skin. If you, or anyone you know, have been suffering from an ongoing skin condition, this book is the lifeline you've been waiting for.--
