Dry Skin
Dry skin is a very common condition characterized by a lack of adequate water in the epidermis, the skin’s most superficial layer. Xerosis or xeroderma are medical terms for dry skin. While dry skin distresses both men and women equally, older people are much more likely to suffer from it. The skin of the elderly lean towards to have lower levels of natural skin oils and lubricants. Dry skin is more predominant in areas such as the arms, hands, and, in particular, the lower legs. Moistness and temperature, for example, have a significant impact on the amount of water retained within the skin.
The epidermis is typically made up of fat (lipid) and protein. The lipid portion of the epidermis, in conjunction with specific epidermal proteins, aids in the prevention of skin dehydration. When proteins and/or lipids are deficient, skin moisture evaporates more quickly. As skin dries, it becomes more sensitive and prone to rashes and skin breakdown.
Dry skin, if left untreated, can lead to complications such as eczematous dermatitis, secondary bacterial infections, cellulitis, and skin discoloration.
Emollients are moisturizing therapies that are applied to the skin directly to soothe and moisturize it. They provide a protective coating to the skin to keep moisture in. They aid in the prevention of inflammatory patches and flare-ups of certain illnesses.
Once the diagnosis has been established and medical treatment has begun, the patient might consider beginning professional Chakra Therapy to enhance and speed up recovery while providing holistic and ultimate healing.
Chakra Therapy is a unique technique to open the blocked Chakras in the body and treat the ailments caused by these blockages. Chakra Therapy is an alternative therapy that does not have any side effects and treats not only the disease but transforms the affected individual to find their purpose in life and face it with renewed energy and vigor.
Chakra therapy opens the Vishuddha Chakra and with the resulting restored energy and vitality the individual can counteract dry skin.
Vishuddha, or the Throat Chakra, is the Chakra associated with Dry Skin. This Chakra is located in the hollow of the throat, near the thyroid endocrine gland. This gland produces hormones that control your metabolism, or how your body uses energy. Thyroid hormones control vital body functions such as breathing, heart rate, central and peripheral nervous system, body weight/temperature, cholesterol level, muscle strength, and so on.
This chakra is where you express yourself, your creativity, and exercise your power of choice. When your Throat Chakra is controlled by someone else, whether through social customs, restrictions, tyranny, or superstitions, or by your own negative thought patterns and emotional weight, such as guilt, you suffer. When this happens, you find yourself living a life that is focused on the needs of others rather than on your own unique identity. These obstruct the energy of your Throat Chakra, making you timid, shy, helpless, and lacking in self-esteem. As a result, your unspoken thoughts and frustrations make you feel uneasy. Another reason is distractions and a refusal to accept the present. If you are easily distracted by sensory stimuli and are overly concerned with the fulfillment of goals or targets, you will have difficulty accepting or living in the present. This causes you to lose touch with yourself, which leads to stress and pressure.
When the Vishuddha Chakra is fully activated, you feel confident and at ease speaking your truth. You have the experience of being heard and honored for your truth.

Spiritual reasons of dry skin include: attempting to keep the world at bay; feeling inadequate or worthless; isolating and shutting oneself within out of dread of being discovered; Someone or something grating on your nerves or making you feel overexposed; Extreme sensitivity to the events and emotions going on around you.
