- Eczema case
Client's conditions:
Patches of eczema is all over client's face and arms, folds of elbows and around the eyes; serious conditions.
Tensions and stress could have caused eczema to become serious suddenly.
Previous treatments:
Have tried everything since small, Western & Chinese medicine; tests for food to be avoided.
My assessments:
Eczema affected by the state of mind: stress and sleep quality, which in turn, increased the stress and anxiety, and possibly via sleep quality. So, it's a cycle. When she’s tense, her body tries to protect your skin by boosting inflammation there. That boost will make her symptoms worse. Stress also changes the levels of hormones affecting eczema. Medications could bring side effects to blood pressure and kidney, and therefore only for a short time. Alternative therapy like Bowen is to balance the body to do the long term fix.
Bowen Therapy session:
Objectives
Use Bowen treatments to:
• Balance the body
• Reverse the Stress level
• Improve the Hormones & Immune system
• Provide an alternative way to control the eczema and in doing so, avoid the side effects of medications
In short,
The states of the body and mind manifest in the stimulations of the skin.
The stimulations on the skin also send back signals and correct the problem.
Like Acupuncture workings on the body - via nerve stimulation, decreasing stress and improving the sense of well-being. Bowen treatments can control the itch, heal the skin and prevent flares.
