Naturopathic Medicine for Skin Health

Skin conditions can be frustrating and often affect confidence as well as comfort. Naturopathic medicine takes a whole-body approach to skin health by identifying and treating the underlying causes, not just the surface symptoms. Below are some of the most common skin conditions we support in clinic, and how naturopathic care can help.

Acne

Acne often develops due to a mix of hormonal imbalances, inflammation, stress, and digestive health concerns. Naturopathic treatment may include:

• Balancing hormones naturally

• Supporting healthy digestion and detoxification

• Reducing inflammation with nutrition and supplements

• Recommending gentle, non-irritating topical care

The goal is to calm breakouts, reduce scarring, and prevent future flare-ups.

Rosacea:

Rosacea can cause persistent redness, flushing, and visible blood vessels. Naturopathic care focuses on:

• Identifying dietary or lifestyle triggers that worsen flare-ups

• Calming inflammation and improving skin barrier function

• Supporting gut health, since digestive issues are often linked to rosacea

• Using gentle natural therapies to soothe sensitive skin

Eczema (Atopic Dermatitis):

Eczema is often linked to allergies, immune system imbalances, or skin barrier weakness. Naturopathic treatment may include:

• Identifying and removing food or environmental triggers

• Supporting skin hydration and barrier repair with natural emollients

• Reducing inflammation through diet and targeted nutrients

• Balancing the immune response to prevent future flare-ups

Psoriasis:

Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes scaly, inflamed patches on the skin. Naturopathic care emphasizes:

• Supporting immune balance and reducing systemic inflammation

• Addressing possible triggers such as stress, diet, or infections

• Using evidence-based supplements and botanicals to calm flare-ups

• Encouraging lifestyle habits that improve long-term skin health

Hyperpigmentation

Dark spots or uneven skin tone often result from sun exposure, hormonal shifts, or post-inflammatory changes. Naturopathic treatment may involve:

• Supporting healthy liver and hormonal balance

• Recommending safe, natural topical agents to brighten the skin

• Using nutrition and antioxidants to protect against further pigment changes

• Educating on sun protection and healthy skin habits

Hives (Urticaria)

Hives are usually triggered by allergies, stress, or immune system reactivity. Naturopathic medicine works to:

• Identify and remove underlying triggers

• Support immune system balance

• Reduce inflammation and histamine response naturally

• Provide strategies for flare-up management and long-term prevention
