🧠 Your Nervous System: The Master Control of Skin Health
Most people don’t realize that your skin and your nervous system are intimately connected from the moment you’re born. In fact, they both originate from the same embryonic tissue layer (the ectoderm). That’s why your skin can reflect what’s happening inside your nervous system.
Your central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) constantly sends and receives messages to every part of your body—including your skin—through your peripheral nerves. These messages regulate:
Immune function
Inflammatory responses
Hormone release
Tissue regeneration and repair
If your spine is misaligned (a condition known as vertebral subluxation), those messages can get disrupted. When the brain-to-body communication breaks down, your immune system may overreact to harmless substances—triggering skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or chronic rashes.
🧴 Why Creams Don’t Heal Eczema Long-Term
While steroid creams and prescription lotions may temporarily reduce itching and redness, they don’t fix the underlying problem. And in many cases, they actually make things worse over time.
Here’s why:
Steroid creams suppress symptoms, not the cause.
Long-term use can lead to thinning of the skin, discoloration, and delayed wound healing.
They can disrupt your natural hormonal balance, especially in children.
Withdrawal from topical steroids (TSW syndrome) can cause a rebound effect—leaving your skin even more inflamed.
Bottom line? No cream can replace the role of a properly functioning nervous system.
