This is normally seen in individuals where one (or more) of the following is true. Your:
- kidneys aren't filtering sediment
- body is highly acidic with poor lymphatic circulation
- Basal body temperature is <97.8°F/<36.55°C (indicative of thyroid weakness).
- eyes are showing a scurf rim (skin ring), indicating poor elimination through your skin (see black rim circling the periphery of the iris in this picture).
Astringent fruits (citrus fruits, watermelons, grapes, pomegranates, etc.) and lymphatic herbs sometimes move lymph fluid faster than the kidneys can cope with.
This can cause the skin to take the burden as the body will try to eliminate waste material through the skin. This gets even worse if the thyroid is compromised. The acid wastes will come out through the skin very slowly. Under these circumstances, you're likely to experience symptoms such as dry and flaky skin, dandruff, hives, rashes, rosacea, psoriasis, etc.
While restoring the health of the body as a whole (with emphasis on the kidneys and thyroid), you can do one or more of the following to assist your body in drawing out the acidity (and toxins):
1.) Heal-All Tea baths (see instructions in document below).
2.) Gua sha skin cleanses (see instructions in document below).
3.) Steam saunas aided by the appropriate essential oils.
