A rash can be the body’s way of clearing something through the skin. That’s why conditions like eczema and psoriasis (they are all considered rashes) are often signs of what’s happening inside the body, not just on the surface.
How Western medicine responds:
Western medicine offers medications that can work from the inside, but the challenge is that they can be hard on the liver, kidneys, and immune system, so regular blood tests are typically required.
It’s important to figure out the causes behind the rash.
One simple example:
For some, the cause of a rash can be relatively simple. If the immune system was overwhelmed as a baby, the intestinal tract may try to push things out through the skin, showing up as a rash.
Some more complex examples:
For others, rashes can be related to long-term imbalances. Liver heat that builds up over years, or hormonal changes like perimenopause, can lead the body to release heat through the skin as a rash.
Supporting the body from the inside.
The good news is there are natural ways to support the body so it can resolve rashes from the inside out. Options may include herbs, supplements, hormonal support, immune system building, homeopathy, functional medicine, and Chinese medicine.
Healing takes time.
For some, the process may be short. For others, especially when multiple factors are involved, it may take longer. Either way, the goal is to work with the body — from the inside out.
