The largest organ in the body, with a surface of over 22m2 and weight of over 2.7kg, our skin is more than just a ‘covering’. Its functions include heat regulation, protection, absorption, excretion, circulation, vitamin D production, immunity and sensory (touch, pressure, pain and temperature). It has an intimate relationship with the intestines and the lungs (it is regarded as the third lung), protects us from and interfaces with the world around us.
The body can push toxins onto the skin via the blood circulation, sweating and sebaceous secretions. It can produce callosities (to protect itself from repeated friction or trauma), blisters, rashes, swellings, cracks and issures and a whole host of other symptoms.
On the mental, emotional and spiritual level, skin represents our connection with the world, our relationship with intimacy, closeness and comfort and issues with incarnation. Expressions like “I jumped out of my skin”, “I’m not comfortable in my skin”, “he brings me out in a rash”, ofer an insight into how we feel about and deal with life and survival.
