let live the rash of detox. the eyes are the window to the soul but the skin is the reflection of the internal gates. this fruit’s peel is the largest organ, part of the immune system and certainly the largest emunctory expressing the functioning in the interior organ systems. harshly put, applying steroids and other topical suppressants to the epidermis is simply a way of telling your insides to shut the f*** up…which it will eventually do, disengaging the body’s freedom of expression, driving the nature of the problem inward to the joints, lungs, reproductive organs, GI and immune system. during a detox, regular skin issues can be heightened as the body is spring cleaning, detoxifying and expressing itself with a loud rambunctious voice. if the skin is experiencing detox reaction by breaking out into rashes, hives, acne during a cleanse, consider this somewhat good news because the system is still in working order whereas asthma, joint pain and endometriosis in replacement of erruptions indicate a need for deeper treatment. if the sheath is too unsightly or itchy during the cleanse then release more gunk by drinking more water, exercising and saunas more often, oatmeal baths, dry skin brushing, bentonite clay, psyllium and bitter foods, taking tonifying skin teas such as burdock and yellow dock. your skin’ll g-love you back.
