Q: I’ve heard of psychodermatology, how does it benefit skin?
TAMMY WRITES: Psychodermatology sounds like something new, but from my perspective it’s another way to describe ancient holistic practices that support a healthy connection between the mind, emotions and the skin. I love that conventional medicine is catching up with the ways of traditional care!
Over the past many years, I’ve seen how much our efforts to reduce stress can bring about tremendous results for the complexion and for our overall wellbeing. There are so many subtle lifestyle changes that help us come into the kind of inner peace that is evident in beautiful glowing skin—spending more time in the garden and less on the screen, eating raw, organic fruits and vegetables and sitting quiet contemplation and laughing with the people we love most. But today I also want to share a selection of my formulas that I’ve blended with favorite essences, those which are celebrated for a capacity to instill calm or encourage a fresh, bright perspective. Each of my holistic formulas is created to bring the whole being into balance, thanks to these beautiful plant remedies.
