Stress is something that affects everybody.

It is one constant that is not going away, and it is one of the main causes of nearly every skin or health problem people complain about, and seek the services of an aesthetician, nutritionist, health coach, or other holistic practitioner for help.

For skin specifically, unmanaged stress can wreak havoc, leading to new or increased acne breakouts, rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis flare-ups, visible signs of premature aging such as lines and wrinkles, and increased hypo- and hyperpigmentation.

Luckily, there are plenty of real-life strategies you can use daily to reduce the stress in your life–some of them mental, some of them physical. But all of them necessary.

H. pylori has been linked to peptic ulcer disease, gastric lymphoma, and gastric carcinoma (the pathogen itself is classified as a class 1 carcinogen).

It has also been reported to cause diseases affecting the cardiovascular and immune systems, the liver, as well the skin.

Skin issues such as idiopathic urticaria (presence of wheals, and erythema), pruritis, acne rosacea, alopecia areata, eczema, psoriasis, and some types of dermatitis have also been linked to its presence.

Though studies have not yet definitely named H. pylori as a cause of the aforementioned skin diseases, multiple reports have shown “epidemiological and experimental evidence for a possible role of H. pylori infection in skin autoimmune diseases,” as well as an association between the pathogen’s presence and presence of acne rosacea, and multiple other conditions and diseases of the skin.

It’s also been observed that for many patients who experienced a chronic or autoimmune skin disorder alongside an H. pylori infection, eradication of the infection significantly improved the skin disorder.

One of the largest responsibilities of the gut microbiome is to keep pathogenic bacteria, yeasts, and other malevolent microbes at bay.

However, even a strong, biodiverse microbiome might be compromised should a powerful pathogen come in.

One possible culprit is H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori), a pathogenic bacterium that can infect the stomach and small intestine, and cause a number of different health problems.

Though H. pylori is usually associated with digestive issues, it can also affect the skin. Interesting, right?

The connection between healthy lymph and healthy skin is significant.

Lymphatic drainage encourages the circulation of lymph in the subcutaneous tissue (the layer of fat–or adipose tissue–just below the dermis).

When toxins and waste beneath the skin are frequently and adequately drained, it’s easier for the body to expel them.

However, a slow or stagnant system can create “clogging” and trap the toxins within the body and, in turn, can trigger inflammation.

Acute inflammation can cause dull, puffy, and tired-looking skin.

If the congestion is left unaddressed, acute inflammation will turn into chronic inflammation, which may cause unwanted skin conditions.

Let’s dive into what integrative therapies support healthy lymph:

Lymphatic Massage: Because the lymphatic system relies on the movement of muscles to transport fluid through the lymph vessels, massage is a great way to assist in this process.

Acupuncture: An effective East Asian Medicine practice treatment that uses thin needles in strategic points on the body that may help stimulate healthy lymph flow and remove toxins.

Dry Body Brushing: An integral self-care staple of many ancient civilizations for more than one thousand years. Dry brushing your skin may help support detoxification by increasing blood circulation and promoting lymph drainage.

Garshana: An ancient Sanskrit word that translates to ‘friction by rubbing.’ With silk gloves, this Ayurvedic practice involves stimulating specific body areas that may facilitate the removal of toxins, support lymphatic flow, and revitalize all body systems.

Facial Gua Sha: An East Asian Medicine practice that translates to “scraping the pain away”. Traditionally performed on the body, new facial Gua Sha protocols have been adopted over recent years, and have become very popular among holistic aestheticians and in the wellness community alike.

Facial Ice Globes: Utilize the cold for something akin to a ‘cryo’ facial that may stimulate lymph and blood circulation, relieve sore facial muscles, decrease puffiness, and give a face “lifted” effect.

Lymph is the fluid that flows through the lymphatic system, a sophisticated network of tissue and organs made up of lymph nodes, lymph vessels, and lymph.

The lymphatic system is designed to maintain a healthy immune system, protecting against infection and disease by absorbing and metabolizing waste.

The lymphatic system also acts as our body’s primary drainage system, helping to deliver nutrients and filter out damaged proteins, water, waste products, and other cellular debris.

It does this by transporting the toxins away from the tissues and into the bloodstream, where they are purified by the spleen, the largest lymphatic tissue in the body.

It’s important to note that the lymphatic system is seldom an isolated actor; rather it works in tandem with other organs and systems such as the circulatory system, kidneys, and liver to help clear and remove waste.

The skin is the largest organ in the human body, and it’s also one of its most important.

It protects us from environmental factors that can damage our bodies or cause illness, while at the same time providing a barrier against moisture loss.

But what you may not know about your skin is that it doesn’t work alone.

Underneath the surface, the lymphatic system works closely with the circulatory system to filter out toxins and fluid buildup before they can do any real damage to your organs or other tissues.

If there are problems with either of these systems, such as inflammation or clogging due to excess fluids, then this will show up on your skin first!

Let’s explore the connection between healthy lymph and healthy skin.
