What can I expect from a skin care consultation?
Wellness Through Balance believes that old adage - "beauty is from within". Your skin's appearance will totally depend upon your nutritional status. A consultation will include discussions about the proper foods and herbs that can lead to healthier skin. Healthier skin produces more collagen and elastin, has better blood and lymph circulation, and constantly renews itself. This in turn leads to more vibrant and supple skin. We all know people that have gorgeous skin at whatever age - some of the most beautiful women are those that have that "inner glow", no matter whether their actual features conform to society's idea of "beauty".
Wellness Through Balance does carry facial skin care products, also. We feel that skin care products should be chosen that also help with the health of the skin. A skin care product can help from the outside, proper nutrition helps from the inside. If the skin is healthy, fine line and wrinkles recede on their own - leaving smooth, glowing skin.
With that in mind, we have chosen facial skin care products from a company based in Japan. The Asians believe that skin care products should contain herbs and other natural ingredients that will help to restore the skin's natural elastin and collagen. These stimulate the skin to function on its' own again, without the aid of fancy, pricey, or prescription products. Shouldn't a product do more than just cover up wrinkles - we want to address the root cause of them!
We also carry an all natural, herbal based product line from the USA for the budget-conscious client.
What can I expect from a Skin Disorder Consultation?
The skin disorder consultation will consist of a nutritional assessment and assessment of the digestive system. Traditional Chinese Medicine (as well as most European traditional medicines) believes that the skin is the outward manifestation of the digestive system. The skin is the next largest organ of elimination after the digestive system, so any problems with the digestive system - if not treated- will usually end up as a problem with the skin.
The next culprit in many skin care disorders is stress - so a consultation and treatment plan will usually include stress reduction strategies as well as nutritional strategies.
What is a typical treatment plan for a skin disorder?
A typical treatment plan consists of the initial intake (which lasts about 1 hour) and 3 follow-up visits (which last about ½ hour each). The treatment plan will consist of a nutritional strategy, recommended herbs, and stress reduction strategy (if needed). The follow up visits will consist of assessment of the herb and nutrition plan, and a quick acupressure treatment for support of the herbal/nutrition plan. (Please wear loose, unrestrictive clothing for the acupressure treatment)
