• Are you struggling to improve your psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis, acne or other skin condition?

The array of variables above, along with your unique situation usually means that your skin concern may be occurring for a number of reasons, rarely just one.

• Your lifestyle
• Your diet
• Your hormone levels
• The medicine and supplements you take
• Your allergies and food sensitivities
• What you apply to your skin
• Substances that come into contact with your skin
• Your sun exposure
• Your genetics
• Your intestinal flora
• Your age

As you can see due to this array of variables being involved and your unique situation it’s unlikely that you will find a magic bullet, but with a multi- prong approach and a desire to treat the cause, help is at hand.

Jospeh utilises functional pathology testing, iridology, and tongue diagnosis to try and find the cause. Then a number of natural evidence based therapies may be employed, such as supplements like specific pro-biotics, vitamins and minerals, antioxidants and western herbal medicines along with dietary and lifestyle changes.

As an Acupuncturist I have also completed further studies in Cosmetic Acupuncture. Acupuncture is another way to again treat the skin and create physiological change. I use low level laser to stimulate the Acupuncture points instead of needles, and it’s completely painless.

The three modalities I’m trained in ; Naturopathy, Acupuncture and Dermal Therapies have all given me a unique view of the skin and its ability to repair and regenerate when the correct techniques are applied.
