Every year many of the women spend large amounts of disposable income on cosmetics and other beauty products in a bid to achieve clear, glowing skin, thick, lustrous hair and sparkling eyes. While these treatments may enhance your beauty, they often fail to tackle the root causes of many beauty problems that are, in fact, intimately connected with our internal health.
The word "health" comes from the same root as "wholeness". Therefore, you can conceive of health as a state of wholeness or integration at all levels of your being. The integration of various bodily systems is clearly evident in the integuments system, which encompasses the skin and its components - hair, nails, sweat and sebaceous glands. The skin covers the entire surface of the body, and forms a self-repairing and self-renewing interface between your internal and external environment. Functioning as a selectively permeable barrier, skin helps to protect your body from the effects of injury, sunlight, smoking, environmental pollution and infection, while allowing for the absorption of certain chemical substances and the elimination of waste products.
