Naturopathic Treatments For Skin Conditions
You might not think of it this way, but your skin is an organ.
It keeps the more vulnerable parts of your body protected from all the dangers of the world around you.
Because your skin is (hopefully!) the only part of your body you can see readily, it can often be a sign there are some deeper issues going on.
Skin conditions can be indicative of many deeper issues. Even without considering that, a skin condition can cause issues with self-esteem and self-confidence.
They can be irritating, painful, and frustrating, but there is hope.
Dr. Pat offers naturopathic solutions for some of the more common skin conditions. Read on to find out more.
Naturopathic Solutions For Acne
Most of us are, unfortunately, familiar with acne. You may associate it, mostly, with the hormonal changes that accompany puberty. However, many adults also deal with acne.
Acne is by far the most common skin condition. It affects 85% of teenagers, 42.5% of men, and 50.9% of women in their 20’s.
The pores in your skin are connected to oil glands under your skin. These glands produce sebum, an oily substance. Sebum carries dead skin cells to your skin’s surface via your hair follicle. Occasionally, your sebum will clump together with the dead skin cells and hair, which can create swelling and pimple growth.
Some of the health conditions associated with acne include:
- PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome)
- Cushing syndrome
- Endocrine disorders
- Hormonal imbalance
- Taking certain medications
- A food intolerance
If you’re struggling with acne, it may be frustrating and disheartening. However, there is hope.
Dr. Pat will work to uncover what’s causing your acne, and offer you a treatment plan designed to control your acne flare-ups. The goal is to get you looking and feeling great.
Naturopathic Solutions For Eczema
Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a condition where your skin becomes inflamed and irritated. It’s most common in children, though it may persist into adulthood.
If you’re dealing with eczema, you’ll experience patches of extremely irritated skin. They’re likely dry, itchy, and thickened in the afflicted areas. It usually shows up on the hands, neck, face, and legs, though you may find it anywhere on your body.
Though we don’t yet know exactly what causes eczema, we do know it’s an autoimmune disease.
If you’re suffering from eczema, Dr. Pat can help. While there is currently no known cure for eczema, naturopathic treatments can help you manage the inflammation and, therefore, your symptoms.
Dr. Pat offers solutions designed to help relieve you of your eczema symptoms. The goal is to get you living a healthier and more comfortable life, naturally.

Naturopathic Solutions For Psoriasis
Much like eczema, psoriasis is a chronic skin condition caused by an autoimmune reaction.
If you’re dealing with psoriasis, you may end up with dry, thick, flaky patches of inflamed skin. These patches are often red, silvery, or white. It usually shows up on your elbows, knees, scalp, and lower back.
Conventional treatment for psoriasis often involves steroidal creams, which may cause unwanted side effects. Dr. Pat offers gentler, more natural solutions for psoriasis.
Naturopathic medicine can help you manage your psoriasis symptoms, easing your discomfort and allowing you to live a normal life.
