Natural Lichen Planus Care in Auckland
Understanding Lichen Planus – A Holistic Perspective
Lichen Planus is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the skin, mucous membranes (like the inside of the mouth), nails, and sometimes the scalp.
It shows up as itchy, flat, purplish bumps on the skin, white lacy patches in the mouth, or even nail ridging or hair thinning in some cases.
While the exact cause of Lichen Planus isn’t fully understood, research suggests it is an autoimmune-related condition — meaning the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues.
Common triggers include:
- Chronic stress
- Viral infections (such as Hepatitis C)
- Certain medications
- Imbalance in the gut and immune system
Importantly, Lichen Planus is not contagious, but it can greatly affect your quality of life if not addressed properly.
Why Conventional Treatments May Not Offer Lasting Relief
In conventional medicine, treatment usually focuses on suppressing symptoms — with options like:
- Corticosteroid creams or injections
- Immunosuppressant drugs
- Antihistamines for itch relief
While these approaches may provide temporary comfort, they often do not address the underlying immune imbalance or triggers.
In many cases, once the medication is stopped, symptoms return — sometimes more aggressively.
Additionally, long-term use of steroids and immune-suppressing drugs can lead to unwanted side effects such as skin thinning, liver strain, gut disruption, and reduced immunity.
A Holistic Approach to Managing Lichen Planus Naturally
At Natural Skin Clinic Auckland, we take a completely different approach — focusing on root-cause healing, immune balancing, and supporting your body’s natural ability to repair itself.
Our holistic Lichen Planus care program includes:
✅ Homeopathic Support:
Gentle, individualized remedies that help calm immune overactivity and promote internal healing.
✅ Herbal Medicine:
Herbs known for their ability to detoxify the liver, reduce systemic inflammation, and nourish skin tissues naturally.
✅ Gut Health Restoration:
Since up to 70% of immune function originates from the gut, we focus on improving gut health through diet, probiotics, and digestive support.
✅ Lifestyle and Stress Management:
Stress is a major trigger for autoimmune conditions. We guide you through breathwork, yoga therapy, mindfulness practices, and other stress-busting techniques.
✅ Natural Skin Care Education:
Avoiding harsh chemical products is crucial. We help you switch to soothing, natural skin care that protects and supports skin recovery.

Tips for Managing Lichen Planus Naturally at Home
While professional guidance is important, here are some simple tips that may help:
🌿 Focus on an anti-inflammatory diet:
Eat fresh vegetables, berries, healthy fats (avocados, flaxseeds), and fermented foods to calm internal inflammation.
🌿 Avoid common triggers:
Reduce sugar, processed foods, alcohol, caffeine, and known allergens that may overstimulate the immune system.
🌿 Support liver health:
Incorporate foods like turmeric, coriander, dandelion greens, and beetroot.
🌿 Calm your nervous system daily:
Simple deep breathing exercises, short yoga stretches, and daily gratitude practices can reduce the stress load on your body.
🌿 Protect and nourish your skin:
Use mild, fragrance-free products. Keep skin moisturized with natural oils like jojoba or calendula oil.
