The skin, this vital and largest organ in our body, plays an essential role in eliminating toxins. Indeed, although its work is often discreet, it functions as a true emunctory organ, eliminating waste in the form of sweat through the sweat glands and sebum via the sebaceous glands. However, when other detoxification organs such as the liver, intestines, or kidneys are overloaded, the skin takes over and can show signs of congestion. This is where skin drainage comes in, a natural method to restore the skin's radiance and health.
When does the skin need drainage?
Several signs can indicate that your skin needs a deep cleanse. Rashes, redness, eczema, psoriasis, dry or oily skin, or dermatoses are clear indicators of toxin buildup. Indeed, when the skin takes over the detoxification process, it can become congested, leading to these skin problems. It is therefore crucial to support it by helping it eliminate waste and regain its balance.
The importance of skin detoxification
Skin detoxification cleanses, soothes, and regenerates the skin by eliminating accumulated toxins. It also improves blood circulation, oxygenates skin cells, and restores a radiant complexion. Properly performed skin drainage not only helps maintain the skin's beauty but also helps prevent various skin conditions.
How to drain and detoxify the skin naturally?
Here are some plants that can help improve skin detoxification:
- Wild pansy (Viola tricolor) : This plant is renowned for its anti-inflammatory and diuretic properties, ideal for treating skin conditions such as psoriasis, eczema, and itching. It acts as a natural skin purifier.
- Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) : Helps eliminate toxins and supports kidney function.
- Blackcurrant (Ribes Nigrum) : With its anti-inflammatory effects, blackcurrant reduces inflammation and helps improve skin health, especially for skin prone to rashes.
- Black elderberry (Sambucus nigra) : Elderberry promotes perspiration, a natural drainage process that helps eliminate toxins through the skin.
