Identify & Eliminate

Days 1–4

• Begin a skin elimination diet: remove dairy, gluten, sugar, alcohol, and eggs for the full 14 days.
• Drink 2.5 litres of water daily — dehydration is the most common cause of skin congestion.
• Brew Nettle + Burdock Root tea — 3 cups daily as the base blood purifier.
• Begin Figwort tincture (20 drops twice daily) for lymphatic skin drainage.
• Replace all commercial skincare with plain jojoba oil and rosewater — eliminate chemical load.
• Begin dry brushing skin daily.

Purify

Days 5–12

• Add Manjistha capsule (500mg) twice daily to clear blood heat and stagnation.
• Take Oregon Grape root tincture (25 drops twice daily) — most effective for psoriasis.
• Brew Red Clover + Burdock decoction for hormone-driven skin issues.
• Introduce zinc supplementation (30mg zinc picolinate) — most important skin mineral.
• Add omega-3 fatty acids (3g EPA+DHA) — resolves inflammatory skin conditions.
• Eliminate all seed oils from diet — linoleic acid excess directly worsens eczema.
• Apply diluted Calendula tincture topically to inflamed areas.

Restore

Days 13–14

• Reintroduce eliminated foods one at a time — watch for 24–48 hour skin reactions.
• Continue blood-purifying herbs for 1 month post-protocol.
• Build a permanent skin nutrition stack: Zinc + Omega-3 + Vitamin A + Vitamin D.
• Take before and after photos — skin changes during this protocol are often dramatic.
