Word to Miriam’s experts
«We are born with a surface, the skin, closely connected with the nervous system and with our lifestyle. Treating it with the wrong products without really knowing its needs, or the causes of some problems, is counterproductive» says the skin expert Claudia Ferretti.
And speaking of the impact of life: «The skin it is the seat organ of the protective energy of the body and has an immediate link with emotions. The body and its five main organs are the seat of elaboration of vital energy. If there is discomfort, even if only superficial, like a reactive skin, something is overloaded. Feeling good implies managing energy, unloading: in this, breathing is a connection between body, mind and world. Pranayama, its rhythmic control, is expansion and healing» adds the life sherpa Herve Balot.
Vital organs one of which, in particular, intrigued Miriam: «We can see the epidermis as an outward aspect or projection Of many mechanisms of the intestine. The link is scientifically evident, indeed acclaimed. The more or less inflammatory propensity of many tissues depends on the type of predominant bacteria, their over or under production, the antibodies generated right here.

True beauty for Miriam Leone
