"One of its functions is to eliminate a portion of the body's toxic waste products through Sweating. If the body contains more toxins than the kidneys and liver can effectively discharge, the Skin takes over. In fact, some doctors call the Skin the "third kidney." As toxins escape through the Skin, the skin's healthy integrity is disrupted. This is a key factor behind many Skin disorders, including acne. The Skin also "breathes." If the pores become clogged, the microbes that are involved in causing acne flourish because they are protected against the bacteriostatic action of sunshine. Dirt, dust, oils, and grime from pollution clog the pores, but this can be eliminated by cleansing the Skin properly, and with the proper products." - Phyllis A.

Someone with an exterior condition who uses the remedies for healing an interior one may drive the exterior condition deeper. Conversely, Sweating can be very dangerous for those with interior conditions of extreme weakness." - Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition   (Get the book)
