Summary

This module explores how Integrative Health can support prevention and treatment of skin problems. Each of us may have different reasons why skin health is important in terms of our Meaning, Aspiration, or Purpose (MAP), and of course, all of this must be considered within the bigger picture of a person’s values and goals. 

Note that the Integrative Approaches to Skin Health overview focuses on reducing risk related to skin health in general. In addition, there are specific Integrative Health tools focusing on some of the most common skin problems: acne, skin cancer, rosacea, eczema, and psoriasis. 

Please see the Resources section for more detailed clinician and patient information.
