“Health is a relationship between you and your body.”

It seems there is always something new to learn when it comes to health. Just when we think we’ve got it, new research presents itself. The trick is to put it all together like a jigsaw puzzle. If you pay attention you’ll see that a lot of the different bits fit together.

For instance, so much relates back to our gut. So rather than looking at eczema as an isolated symptom and treat it as such we need to target the root cause, which in the case of eczema is probably our gut flora. Once that is treated you’ll probably find that a whole host of other problems that maybe you thought were normal for you resolve themselves as well.

This is where conventional medicine is letting us down. A symptom presents itself and we’re given medication to get rid of it. Often that medication is adding insult to injury and leaving more problems in its wake. High blood pressure? No problem, there’s a pill for that. Pre-diabetes? There’s one for that too. Before you know it you’ve got an assortment of prettily coloured pills lined up in front of you, each one often creating a need for a new one.
