Functional Medicine Practitioners Guide to Skin Conditions with Rebecca Hughes of Melbourne Functional Medicine

Dermhealth.co Podcast by Digital Health Co

Functional medicine takes a different perspective on skin diseases by not viewing it as a “disease” in and of itself. Rather, many skin conditions are considered an external symptom of an internal problem - and solved at the root cause.

Do you find it hard to live in the skin that is manifested with rashes, itchiness, redness, bleb or infection? Living with chronic skin conditions can be hard affecting people's social, professional, and personal life. Skin is the largest and most visible part of our body and skin conditions like a rash, irritation, skin infection, weird-looking bumps, blemishes, and inflammation can drive anyone crazy, in the most unpleasant ways. There are many conventional treatments available in the market in the form of topical cream, tablets tonics, lotions, ointments, antibiotics, and antifungal agents, offering only temporary relief from the condition, and posing greater side effects. That’s why most of the people look for integrative therapies like functional medicine that can treat chronic skin conditions from the inside out.

How does functional medicine view skin conditions?

That's what we will find out in this week's episode with Rebecca Hughes of Melbourne Functional Medicine.

Rebecca is a leading skin health practitioner at Melbourne Functional Medicine. As a functional medicine trained naturopath, she has a passion for treating skin conditions such as eczema, acne, psoriasis, lupus, cold sores, impetigo, molluscum and warts. As recognition of her outstanding contribution to her field, Rebecca recently won the 2020 BIMA award for Clinical Excellence.

Since graduating in 2003, Rebecca has combined clinical practice with pursuits in a range of roles within the natural medicine field such as lecturing in bachelor degree nutrition and naturopathy courses, regulating complementary medicines at the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), and contributing to national reference text on Herbs and Natural Supplements.

Join us in this episode as we learn about the myths and misconception of treating skin conditions.
