Touch is the skin's sense. It is the skin which separates us from our environment. The skin along with digestive tract controls entrance into our system, permits nutrients and refuses pathogens. The wastes produced in our body are also thrown out through the skin and the gut. When the waste in our system piles up beyond the capacity of our excretory organs, it is directed out through the skin. Skin diseases arise when the skin gets clogged with toxic wastes. When the skin is cleansed of all its impurities and toned to vibrancy, the digestive tract also becomes healthier.
