The skin consists of three layers the Epidermis; Dermis and Hyperdermis.
The epidermis is the thin outermost layer which acts as a protective barrier from pathogens and toxins from invading the body. The Dermis is the inner layer which is situated between the epidermis and hyperdermis. The dermis comprises of hair follicles, sweat glands, blood vessels, nerve receptors, and connective tissue which all help with sweat production; regulating body temperature through increasing and/or decreasing blood flow to the skin depending on whether it is hold or cold; tissue repair; sensing pain and differentiating between hot and cold objects. The hyperdermis is located below the dermis it serves to insulate the body from fluctuating temperatures; provides additional cushioning and acts as a energy storage area. I am sure you have all dreamt about what you want when you were growing up like a new car, a nice house, inner peace, a loving relationship, amazing career opportunities, etc. You go out to earn the rights to have what you want in life by working for it. Your working away hard at it and your mind is being used a lot, then things crop up and stuff happens - life throws you curve balls whilst society sends out mixed messages on health and body image and all the while looming deadlines are approaching. It feels like that peaceful path of life you were driving on with purpose is turning into a raging super highway where the overtaking lanes seem to have overtaken you. You get upset, irritable and snap at family and friends when you don’t really mean to. You get worried about not coping with day to day demands. You experience bouts of confusion, sadness and anger for no real reason. You question your own sanity. And feel your life is out of control. Frustration waltzes on in. If you push yourself too hard as you are being pushed beyond what you can handle, you are exposing yourself to stress! During stress the body rebels and its inner peace falls out of touch with reality. This can create a cascade of physical and emotional responses irrespective of the causes of the stress exposure. Some of which may not come to surface until after the time of exposure has been stopped. These responses can make quite an impact on various functions of the body which should not be ignored!! Prolonged exposure to stress can lead to chronic illness!!! Finding answers to those questions cannot be found when looking at a locked door. An experienced navigator can though like me can help you find the answers to unlock the door to create your peaceful path back to wellness. Regardless of the kind of stress exposure and its effects an individual treatment plan can be specifically devised.
Naturopathic and Nutritional treatment can balance the peace in your body, through innervating many actions on the body which utilise various pathways in the body to exchange information and bring different elements of action together to synchronise and restore natural balance of your mental, physical, emotional and spiritual functions. Our level of confidence is set, to a point, by how we deal with dissonance in our lives!
The difference we feel between what is, what might have been and what might be; the gap between our belief system and its own credibility; between fantasy and reality and the gap we perceive between ourselves and other people. The more we close these gaps the more at ease we feel. Cognitive Dissonance isn't always a bad thing if it's easily recognised and reconciled however it can cause harm to our health and well-being if its not recognised and not reconciled which can potentially lead to having a low mood, anxiety, depression and/or post traumatic stress disorder. Seeing a Naturopath and/or Nutritionist (i.e. me) can help with strategies that can easily be implemented to help close the gaps. |
