Toxicity: What It Is, How It Affects Your Skin, and What You Can Do
When we talk about toxicity, the harmful effect of substances on the body, especially the skin and organs. Also known as poisoning, it’s not just about chemicals in factories—it’s in your shampoo, your herbal tea, even your daily supplement. Your skin is your largest organ, and it doesn’t just sit there. It absorbs what you put on it and reacts to what you put inside you. That’s why toxicity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a real, silent problem behind acne flare-ups, rashes, and unexplained skin sensitivity.
Many people think "natural" means safe. But herbal supplements, plant-based products used for health benefits, often without medical oversight. Also known as botanicals, they can be powerful—and dangerous if misused. Ashwagandha, for example, helps with stress for some, but it can trigger breakouts or interact with thyroid meds. Same goes for Amla or neem oil: used right, they’re gentle. Used wrong, they can irritate or even burn. Then there’s the bigger picture: detox, the process of removing toxins from the body, often through diet or lifestyle changes. Also known as cleansing, it’s a popular idea, but most "detox" routines are just hype. Real detox? It’s not a 7-day juice cleanse. It’s stopping the flow of toxins in the first place—switching to non-toxic skincare, reading labels, avoiding unregulated supplements, and letting your liver and kidneys do their job.
What you’ll find in the posts below aren’t theories. They’re real stories from people who thought a herbal remedy was helping—until their skin got worse. You’ll see how Ayurveda can help or hurt, how metformin and semaglutide affect skin, and why some "natural" products are riskier than prescription drugs. No fluff. No marketing. Just what actually happens when your body tries to handle too much poison—and how to fix it.
