Naturopaths focusing on Skin Health in Edmonton
TruMed's Naturopathic Doctors look for the cause of your skin concerns.
Our Naturopaths also have treatments for skin issues such as Rosacea, Peri-oral dermatitis, Seborrheic dermatitis, itching, yeast overgrowths and bruising. Hair loss and alopecia are also areas that our Naturopaths can help with. For hairloss our approach is to understand thyroid function, iron status as well as your male hormones and their 5-Alpha metabolites. This is best done with blood Thyroid testing as well and Urine "DUTCH" hormone testing. For autoimmune hairloss concerns we usually look at food sensitivities, gut and microbiome balance as well as occult viral infections. DUTCH urinary hormone testing testing is also excellent for acne as it gives us a breakdown of estrogen and androgens and their androgenic acne causing metabolites. Dr.Sumar's electrodermal analysis "Vega-Testing" techniques can be extremely helpful for stubborn skin cases. she can quantify histamine, inflammation and infections that are contributing to your skin concerns. |

Our Naturopaths often use Food Allergy & Sensitivity Testing as a cornerstone of many of our skin treatments. Wheat, Pork, Tomatoes, Nuts and Citrus are common Acne trigger foods. Dairy, Gluten and Eggs often cause or exacerbate Eczema Gluten and Alcohol are common triggers for Psoriasis. In our Edmonton and Alberta patients we see a lot of mineral deficiencies responsible for cases of hives as well as food allergies as triggers - Copper and Iodine are two possible suspects when we see a patient with hives. |

Herbs and minerals are often used to improve our patients' skin health. Saw Palmetto is a great 5-Alpha Reductase inhibitor we use for many acne cases. High Dose Vitamin D is a great immune modulator in Psoriasis. Our Naturopaths usually pair Vitamin D alongside Curcumin for Psoriasis for its anti-inflammatory benefits. Eczema responds to appropriate gut healing nutrients like Glutamine as well as dairy free probiotics. Are you experiencing skin issues?We want to help (780) 757-8378 |
