Put your best face forward with Orange Health

Acne can be a tricky disease to treat when you don’t understand what’s causing it. With many possible causes it’s best to seek expert advice. Orange Health is a natural health clinic run by experienced Naturopaths and Medical herbalists who specialise in finding and treating the cause of your skin issues helping you to achieve clearer skin and better health – naturally.

Acne and breakouts can be hard to deal with, topical treatments provide marginal symptomatic relief from a disease that is largely driven by an internal imbalance. Orange Health believes that orthodox treatments are limited and not ideal long-term strategies. An incorrect skincare regime can also harm delicate skin. 

Stress affects all body systems and poor liver function can contribute to breakouts. Your liver is the major detoxification organ responsible for flushing toxins out of the body. If the liver is sluggish, toxins and waste products are not effectively cleared from the body and need to escape somewhere – in this case, your skin. A healthy liver makes a huge difference to the health of your skin.

Facial diagnosis can indicate organ system malfunction – for example if you have concentrations of pimples on your chin and jaw line your acne is likely driven by a hormonal imbalance, if pimples are spread over your forehead and around your nose and mouth your acne is likely due to digestive issues.

Regular meditation and supplementing with adaptogens like Rhodiola or Withania and Vitamin B’s and C can strengthen the nervous system. Herbal detoxification can help reset any inflammatory, digestive and hormonal irregularities giving your skin the best chance to heal.

Correct diet is essential in supporting the body to function optimally. Decreasing dairy and refined foods can help, however finding out what specific foods are causing inflammation is a huge advantage. Orange Health can arrange hair testing for food intolerance or an elimination diet to find out what foods are specifically responsible for inflamed skin.
