Which herbs are best to help problem hair, nails, and skin? And which not only heal but protect from skin cancer,\u00a0hair loss<\/a>\u00a0and inflammation?<\/p>\n

The skin, hair, nails and oil and sweat glands are all part of one system, known as the integumentary system. \u201cThe skin is the largest organ in our body, and its function involves the regulation of body temperature, elimination of wastes and reception of temperature, pressure and pain signals. The skin, as a sense organ, also has a connection with the nervous system. In ayurveda, skin is believed to support both physiology and psychology.<\/p>\n

There are specific herbs, called\u00a0adaptogens<\/a>, that work especially well for problems of the integumentary system.<\/p>\n
