what does it mean to have a holistic facial.
holistic (adj): characterized by the belief that the parts of something are interconnected and can be explained only by reference to the whole.
(medical) characterized by the treatment of the whole person, taking into account mental and social factors, rather than just the symptoms of an illness.
Applying these principles to skin health means looking at not only the skin as an independent organ but its connection to the whole body. Your skin is your bodies largest organ that is in constant communication with both your internal and external environments.
It is one of your five sensory organs and is the only sensory organ that extends across your whole body. What is being communicated on the surface of your skin is a reflection of what is going on internally within the rest of the organ systems as well as what is going on in your environment around you.
The biggest difference is in the approach to treating the skin. When “symptoms” present on the skin such as acne, eczema, or pigmentation a traditional approach would look to get rid of the symptom as quickly as possible. Whereas a holistic approach takes a different perspective. That these are not symptoms to be managed but rather healing mechanisms the body is intelligently utilizing to restore health. Looking to understand the why is critical here. Rather than fighting against a system that is trying to heal you how can we look to understand what might need to change in our life so that we can support ourselves.
To take a holistic view is to understand that every aspect of your life - mental, emotional, physical, spiritual is constantly looking to be in alignment and that requires self reflection and responsibility of our choices.
At The Well I am not concerned with getting rid of your acne or providing a quick fix that only suppresses and represses a response. I’m interested in long term skin health that supports and nourishes the flow and function of a healthy skin system.
