Hair, Skin and Nails |

Many factors determine the condition of hair, skin and nails. As well as heredity, there are causes such as poor circulation, acute illness, surgery, radiation exposure, skin disease, sudden weight loss, high fever, iron deficiency, diabetes, thyroid disease, drugs such as those used in chemotherapy, stress, poor diet, the change of life and vitamin deficiencies. If you are concerned with a prolonged loss of hair, do speak to your health care practitioner.
In many cases natural products can be used internally and naturally to improve the health of hair, skin and nails. Below are a few of the products you may consider using.
If in any doubt we're only a phone call away. Call one of our experienced staff and we'll do everything to try and assist you with the right choice of product or information.

Iron . Have a test to see if you are low in iron. Iron deficiency may result in ‘spoon’ nails (nails that develop a concave shape) and/or vertical ridges.
A lack of sufficient ‘friendly’ bacteria in the body can result in the growth of fungus under and around nails. Pau dArco is good for anti-fungal issues. Fungal infection in the nails is usually linked to a fungal infection in the digestive tract, so follow an anti-candida diet.
Betaine Hydrochloride (HCL) Tablets or Enzyme Digestive tablets can help combat a lack of stomach acid or digestive problems which are linked to splitting nails, and particularly vertical ridges.
SPECIAL NOTE
In all cases be directed by what is written on the manufacturers’ labels – mindful of stated dosages, cautions, etc.
If on prescribed medicines, or in any doubt about medication, always consult your health care practitioner first.
