Acne/Rosacea Healing Progress
Hello beautiful community,
I am writing this post to share some updates about my skin. My last skin update in this channel is here Desperate with my skin : r/medicalmedium and, as you can see, I was flaring too much. My skin was full of acne, redness, inflammation, and super dry.
I thought I was doing everything fine, eating the healing foods, taking a lot of supps, exercise, energy practices, etc., but I believe I was also stressing my body with so many things I was putting it into. Besides, as my main goal starting MM was getting rid of my rosacea, seeing the symptoms becoming worse and even starting to get acne for the first time was even more stressful for me.
The 3rd picture is currently my skin. It's not perfect, I still have redness, some scars and pigmentation. BUT, it's incredible better. It's smooth, I have way lesser breakouts, less redness, less swelling and less pain. I no longer hide or have shame to leave my house and show my face to the world.
I realized that in my case, doing less is receiving more.
I stopped taking so many supps (before I took daily goldenseal, zinc, b12, micro c, msm, lemon balm, l-lysine, cats claw etc) nowadays I just take daily melatonin, and only take other supps when I feel I have to. I still do the morning cleanse, but the HMDS for ex sometimes with lesser ingredients because currently I don't have all the ingredients home.
I am not completely fat free or raw, I eat mostly cooked foods, sometimes I put a little bit of fresh olive oil, as I am Mediterranean. But I think the great change happened when I started being vegan. Before I would occasionally eat meat and fish at dinner, but since going vegan I notice less breakouts and redness.
And also, I started worrying less. Having much stress in our lifes surely makes your skin worse. Being around nature, cutting toxic ties, and listening to my intuition made a lot of progress for me.
I hope this gives you the hope and motivation you need to trust the protocols and the journey. I have been through hell not only because of my symptoms but because I didn't have much support. People around me were always criticizing my way of eating, making the situation much worse. It was very important to stablish boundaries and distance myself from situations I was not happy with.
Thank you and happy healing *
