My Skin as a Radar: Environmental Sensor, Stress Meter and Indicator of Change
"My skin has a chronic condition (Neurodermatitis). Roughly one in ten people have this condition that stems from the intestinal flora. The disease becomes noticeable on the surface of our body, our skin. I have been observing its various reactions when exposed to different environments, like the ocean, the sun, tap water and most importantly stress. In my lifelong research my view has changed from frustration about a chronic condition that i do not seem to have an influence on to seeing its potential benefit. By observing and scanning the environment we are exposed to, we can draw solutions of its health or harmfulness to our bodily system."
