Mega-Mushroom Targets Skin\u2019s Inflammatory\u00a0Response to Stress and Pollution.\u00a0Dr. Andrew Weil and Origins introduce a mind-body connection to skincare.<\/p>\n
According to Dr. Andrew Weil, Harvard-trained pioneer of integrative medicine, our mind and\u00a0skin are intimately connected. An integrated approach to addressing irritation is critical to\u00a0protecting and achieving healthy, glowing skin.
\nPsychodermatology, an emerging field of science, links the impact of our emotions to our\u00a0skin\u2019s health, showing that many skin concerns are rooted in our brain activity and\u00a0environment. Recent research indicates that our feelings, particularly the negative ones, can\u00a0release a wave of stress hormones, such as cortisol, which trigger inflammatory ailments. By\u00a0destroying critical components of the skin\u2019s functioning barrier, harmful free radicals from sun\u00a0damage, pollution and exposure to environmental toxins create an imbalance that further\u00a0aggravates the body\u2019s inflammatory response.
\nGiven that skin is our largest organ, the impact of environmental and emotional stress\u00a0becomes immediately visible. Stress interferes with tissue regeneration and triggers a cascade\u00a0of cellular signals leading to chronic inflammation in skin*. This reaction manifests in the form\u00a0of sensitivity, redness, dryness, breakouts, and dry patches.
\nWhen triggered by stress and pollution, our skin\u2019s highly-active immune system decreases its\u00a0natural defenses therefore compromising its integrity. Skin\u2019s barrier is, in fact, designed to\u00a0protect against inflammatory stress. However, with the onslaught of stress related\u00a0inflammation, oxidants and free radicals that many of us face daily, there is a need for a new
\napproach protecting our skin.
\nOrigins and Dr. Andrew Weil have developed a new powerful formula for The Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Collection that takes a modern approach to protecting skin from the\u00a0effects of harmful internal and external factors. The collection contains a new cocktail of\u00a0naturally-derived ingredients that promote skin\u2019s resilience, evenness and an overall healthy\u00a0appearance.
\nThe Mega-Mushroom Skin Relief Collection is developed to target irritation and boost\u00a0cellular energy. These newly added and naturally-derived \u201cmiracle worker\u201d ingredients include\u00a0the powerhouse Sea Buckthorn Berry and the trio of mushrooms, Chaga, Resihi and\u00a0Cordyceps.\u00a0Sea Buckthorn Berry has been used in traditional Chinese, Tibetan and Mongolian medicine\u00a0for over 1000 years. An anti-irritant and anti-oxidant, its active organic constituent scavenges\u00a0free radicals caused by pollution. The natural evolutionary qualities of the harnessed Sea\u00a0Buckthorn Berry shields skin from internal and external aggressors that can lead to increased\u00a0sensitivity and irritation.
\nThree powerhouse mushrooms were identified by Origins and Dr. Andrew Weil to combat\u00a0the effect of skin\u2019s pathway to irritation. They have been used for thousands of years in
\nTraditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to cure viruses, diseases and disorders and have a\u00a0long history of enhancing health, boosting resistance to stress, and promoting healthy\u00a0longevity.<\/p>\n
