Causes:
- Diet - Milk, processed foods, and refined sugars are common food allergies that cause acne. They can be addressed using BodyTalk.
- Hormonal activity - Puberty, and its associated fluctuations in estrogen and testosterone levels, cause hormonal imbalances. Sebaceous glands often become overactive during this time. BodyTalk balances the hormones released by the pituitary gland, adrenal glands, ovaries, and testes.
- Stress - Pre-exam stress, problematic situations, peer pressure, and lack of regular sleep can also be underlying causes of acne. BodyTalk looks at the person holistically, addressing frustrations, insecurities, anger, fear, anxiety, and the confusion caused by constantly having to adapt to changing hormonal levels.
- Medication - Regular medications such as inhalers and antibiotics may have side effects and cause an already toxic liver to become overwhelmed. BodyTalk regulates, harmonizes, TA balances, and detoxifies the liver.
