Hello! My name is Lynn Small, and I am a Shamanic Reiki practitioner and clinical herbalist with a passion for helping my clients get to the root cause of their various issues. Did you know that skin issues are almost always a sign of something off internally in the body? Not to say that outside environmental factors are not issues, but when certain organs are not functioning optimally – especially the liver – it will show up through our skin. A good, daily skin care routine and seeing a fabulous aesthetician like Cara is incredibly helpful and highly recommended. But what about our organs? This is where having herbal support is another way to take care of you and your skin, from the inside out!
I mentioned the liver. Did you know that the liver performs more than 200 functions in our bodies?! Many of us experience hormonal imbalances (not limited to reproductive hormones) and this can wreak havoc on the liver and its over 200 functions. In Chinese medicine, the liver is not just an organ but also a system all on it’s on. It regulates the body’s Chi or energy, making it extremely important.
So how can herbs help? They can be helpful with cleaning and supporting the liver as well as the rest of the body. We use herbs to help support and bring homeostasis to all areas of the body. And because emotions can also impact all systems of the body (have you ever had a first date come up and woken up with a big zit, or broken out in a rash right before that big event?), we can also incorporate the use of flower essences to help move and support emotions that can be blocking proper energy flow and function.
Examples of imbalances that can cause skin issues and make us feel less than 100%:
• PCOS
• Puberty
• Peri- and post-menopause
• Thyroid issues
• Adrenal fatigue
Herbal support can be a wonderful tool to have in your tool belt to help you live your best life!
