The Good Skin Solution: Natural Healing for Eczema, Psoriasis, Rosacea and Acne
Discover the surprising connection between your skin and gut health with this easy-to-understand guide on natural treatments for eczema and other skin conditions
 
Eczema is the most common skin disorder in the industrialized world, followed closely by psoriasis, rosacea, and acne. While conventional medicine offers no permanent solutions to these conditions, natural health author Shann Nix Jones has discovered a chemical-free method that delivers life-changing results.
 
In the Good Skin Solution, Shann recounts her struggle to heal her son’s eczema and save her husband from a life-threatening MRSA superbug infection. She was shocked to learn that eczema isn’t just a skin condition after all, but an autoimmune disorder. Your skin is simply a map of your gut—and in order to heal your skin, you must start from the inside.
 
Shann reveals the latest scientific research about the “microbiome,” the vast ecosystem of microorganisms that lives inside our gut. In simple, easy-to-understand language, she explains the gut-skin connection: what health conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, and acne really are; why they’re often accompanied by hay fever, asthma, IBS, and food allergies; and how adopting the kefir-based Good Skin Solution can help treat the symptoms and the underlying causes. If you or anyone you know suffers from an ongoing skin condition, this book could be the lifeline you’ve been waiting for.
