Do you know the largest organ in the body? That's right! It's your skin. Bombarded with harsh chemicals from our modern environment and ultraviolet radiation from sunlight, the skin is bound to show some wear.  At A Path to Wellness, we treat both the symptoms associated with aging exhibited on the skin, as well as underlying causative factors.  Aging is caused by factors such as oxidation (creation of free radicals) and telomere reduction.  Telomeres are the ends of DNA strands whose shortening is believed to cause a breakdown in the cellular replication process leading to disease and aging.  We test antioxidant nutrient levels and telomere length to guide us in addressing these important factors in aging.

Whether it is in the form of wrinkles, some underlying adiposity or cellulite, or even a skin disease such as eczema or psoriasis, natural medicine can help. Our natural approach at A Path to Wellness addresses underlying issues that affect outward appearance. Through natural detoxification and restoration, we address the many environmental toxins and other pollutants, including those in our food, that can affect all areas of body function, including the skin.  Even make-up may contain endocrine-disrupting, and possibly cancer-causing toxins.  Search your favorite skin care products to see if these products that are supposed to beautify may actually be leading to internal disease and dermatological issues.  (Check out the skin care products link to assess the toxicity of products you and your family use.)
