- We have all heard of the phrase “beauty is skin deep”, suggesting skin has a rather superficial role in who we are. But what if that is not true? Claudia Aguirre tells us about the "hidden brain" in our skin and the surprising things it reveals about our mental health.
Claudia Aguirre is a Neuroscientist, Skincare Expert, Spokesperson and Lecturer, UCLA Alumni, and TEDMED contributor.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
Many years ago I read a book that had this phrase “Your mind is in every single cell in your body.”. Neale Donald Walsh, Conversations with God.

Ew I like that!!!
Almost 20 years ago I was taught in my massage course that pimples, warts, cysts, "birth" marks, and more, are all trying to get your attention. The skin is the largest organ of the body. It is serving us grandly by telling us where the issues are. Look at meridians. Do the regressions and hypnotherapy. Consider reflex areas and points. Our body doesn't lie. Love this talk.
Jody Goodman, no the longs are, They are as big as a tennisfield.
@@kristine8338 Yeah, the lungs too, but the skin on the outside and the lining of the respiratory system are connected, so, both.
But not every person is the same as the next person.
Jody Goodman I’ve dissected human bodies and never have been able find any meridians. I do enjoy looking at the globe and the many parallels and meridians.
Michael Melamed You can’t see electricity either.
Yeah, the gut being the second brain is only confirmed to be true back in 2018. For anyone following, the trend it seems that most of eastern medicine have been true for thousands of years and western medicine are only catching up right now.
It's not that our skin has a brain of its own, it's that our body is a whole community of organisms that cooperate and listen to one another, then react in an appropriate way.
I'm a Neuroscientist turned healer. Whenever clients come to me with skin issues, the vast majority are due to accumulative stress/trauma and inherited stress/trauma. Releasing it makes the skin issues go away.
But skin is NOT unique. The vast majority of physical issues I've worked on has at its roots unresolved trauma. Whether its difficulty recovering from pain, illness, chronic disease, or any symptom.
It's the concept of the allostatic load. Anything that stresses the body increases our vulnerability to disease, illness, pain, mental, psychiatric and cognitive issues.
Her talk is intriguing, but I didn't feel like she did a good job of convincing me that the skin has its own nervous system. Whether its touch, something we see, smell or hear, we have receptors that eventually connect to the brain . To imply that it is has its own nervous system suggests to me that skin can think independently of the rest of the body. And she hasn't shown me evidence of that yet. Or is this just a hypothesis?
Western medicine thinks emotions are in the brain. Eastern medicine says they emirate from the organs. Candice Pert says they are in the peptides (which could be anywhere). Heart Math says they are represented by frequencies.
Regardless, our mental health has a far greater impact on our health than Western medicine currently appreciates. So this talk is a step in the right direction.
Very perceptive comment. I'm working with EFT (tapping) currently for some skin issues. I've studied it on-and-off for a number of years and the results are always very intriguing. I've cured myself of dorsal acne with it a few years back (results were obvious after 2 weeks of tapping 10 minutes a day, and I continued a couple of months just to really annihilate it) and the condition has never returned. I went from never wearing a bathing suit to having smooth skin.
I've never come up empty-handed with that technique - persistence and a little discipline has always led me to results. It really feels like establishing a communication line with the body.
The past few years have been quite traumatic for me and I'm going back to it now out of sheer necessity, although I would highly recommend treating traumas early - I tend to wait until my body acts-up
The body often produces metaphors, even. I've found Louise Hay's book "Heal your body" to be very helpful in identifying those. For every condition I've had and checked out in the book, the mindset was very spot-on. However, I've also found that tapping without knowledge of cause will often lead to intuitive ah-ha moments that point me in the right direction (for dorsal acne, it was high school bullying... skin defending itself against backstabbing and cruel attacks).
Sorry about the novel, but honestly I'm so happy that these aspects of human existence are getting closer and closer to exiting the "pseudoscience" label :)
Tina Huang, Ph.D. Thanks for your comment!! How can we talk to you yo seek help
@@mariannemartin5086 nice work and EFT is great!
Tina Huang, Ph.D. o
Thank you trying to understand what my skin is saying, need to try a healer.
The heart also has a mind of its own. Everything is much more interconnected than institutionalized science knows or teaches about at the moment.
I believe what we love and desire is our soul speaking to us. we must always listen to our soul and heart
The body is one amazing piece of work. Totally mysterious but is being explored with all the new tools of science. Big Pharma has no appreciation of its extreme complexity and prefers to treat it like a mechanical doll.
Dean Mindock ... Big Pharma knows much more than is publicised and only make available what they wish to use for the purpose of profitting. The other side of that coin is that Big Pharma suppresses much that they know that would help on the basis that less profit would be made if people knew what Big Pharma knows
Su Smith exactly 👍👍👍👍👍 this is such a shame
True. When I had to pick our a casket for my sister I felt I had my mind set to go inside the casket room ,but as soon as I walked in my heart started doing hard slow flip in my chest even though mind was calm.I hit my chest with my fist to get it to stop.I thought to myself,I'm gonna end up in one these caskets. My heart knew even though my mind was calm.
My takeaway is we need to touch our children gently more often, hug and show love. :)
WolfySays Yes. And our partners, friends, the elderly too.
Your takeaway should be STOP UNDERVALUING
THE MOTHER ROLE. IT IS NOT SO REPLACEABLE
OR EASILY “HIRED”. It is INNATE from The biological
Mother and her INNATE duty to nurture children ENOUGH
so that we are not always “needing more of” it. Husbands,
sadly, or The lack thereof, coupled with The devaluation of
women and undervaluing women’s roles, are The problem *.*
Stimulates emotional intelligence, and strengthens immunity.
Agree.
Sunnism exposed ... the 1% have for centuries deliberately developed the devaluing of the role and existence of mothers ... the purpose being to cultivate callousness and diassociation as in " The Boys from Brazil " to suit their manifold agenda of domination with disregard for all things creative and nurturing.
When I was a child about 8 I had a wart on my hand which my grandma told me I should blow to the moon. That night I did the blowing over the wart 3 times just as she showed me to do. Needless to say the wart was gone after a few days. This powerful event cemented my ability to use my mind or faith you can call it for life I knew the power of my mind and belief. God bless my grandma
Forgot to mention I am now 63 grandma is long gone but this powerful lesson she taught me is still with me on a nearly daily basis
Vivian Oosthuizen what else did you blow away with your wart?
Many warts are short-term visitors, hence the "magic" of folk medicine.
Vivian Oosthuizen thats quite a story. Thanks for sharing
Oh I love this❤️
I never wanted this talk to end. Soothing.
I've always thought that babies could actually " feel " love and acceptance through their skin. It may all start there...
Babies who couldn't absorb food used to be rubbed with various food oils to help them through their absorption crisis.
Babies pick up on mother's mental health and emotions in the womb.
I think so too. I once visited an orphanage. The babies were in the cribs and as we left, they were crying out loud and reaching out to us to hold them. That image has not left my mind and it's been over twenty years. 😭😭
Read Ashley Montague, " Touch, The Human Significance of the Skin" . Carol massage therapist..it's also a relay of love as an energy field! Intension. 💗
@@robinluich5576 my mom didn't want to be pregnant and marry my dad, but she had already given a baby up for adoption... Our relationship was rough and I know she resented/competed with me at times. I'm 60 now, I'm still affected.
It was written that the Skin is the seat of Mind in Charaka Samhita an Ancient Indian text related to Ayurveda Almost 3500 years ago
Wow!
Mahesh Kund oh wow.. I am studying Vedic astrology and the planet mercury governs the nervous system, intellect and skin. I see the connection here too,
Can you provide the exact reference for this in the Charaka Samhita? Thanks!
@@gigglypuff3589 And Mercury is a Vata (air) planet in Jyotisha, so it makes sense..
Amazing Comment. I recently came across this ; that the Body is the Subconscious Mind. Ive been trying to remember where i heard this tho :( .
Quit a very "good and stable" job which has all the benefits and bells and whistles... stable... because I developed many physical ailments due to the stress. My skin has now cleared up MOSTLY after being away only 1 year from that job. I have also been able to lose nearly 20lbs. I believe in this so much
I had a lesion on my forehead that wouldn't heal. So I quit my distasteful job and within a week it started healing up.
Nice to see that science is catching up to intuition and nature 💖
❤️💜
Yeah!
some places
I think I would be happy if all I could watch on RUclips was teds talks...(except for all the "how to" vids....i need them!) I really do learn something drom everyone i listen to and they always provide food for thought. Thank you for sharing all the valuable info with those of us that would never get to hear this type of thing any where else. I think it is fair to say I have changed a few habbits and ways of thinking from watching these presentations. I deliberately watch things I know nothing about and then realise how interesting some of those things are. listening to passionate people talk about their specialties is a great way to learn and understand, their passion can be contagious to many of us. What more could you ask from a talk?!
I wanna become a neuroscientist.
Awesome! You can do it!!
Well, this explains reflexology, acupressure and acupuncture really well..
Brain very accurately represented on skin.
Awesome presentation! If you study the physics of sound, sound is a pressure wave. Based upon this, our skin has the ability to "hear" as well!
Ability to hear and see and feel
I'm a therapist and I see the skin tension stiffness or leathery skin.
Let's me know more about a person's nourishment.
@@mireyavaladez4896 Agreed, search for Evelyn glennie on you tube, she is an (almost ?) deff percussion player. She feels how to play even better then hearing.
@@mireyavaladez4896 Sigh, yeah. There is a lot of deep poverty here where I live and it shows on people's skins (but it is also the related stress). I am a migrant, from a more prosperous country with more equality, so I look as "old" as too many much younger women around here who haven't even hit menopause yet.
It dawned on me very recently that there can be a lot of trauma surrounding the lack of money and that this can have profound effects, also on getting out of poverty. I can envisage doing workshops or support groups to deal with that, but I probably couldn't do that myself. Your remark makes me realize that it could be very good for people's health too, that that alone might help their skin relax.
rabbitroyale my father who had Alzheimer’s never lost his musical talents and could sing any song he remembered them all. 😍❤️‼️
Most interesting and informative vedio its soo true everything is interconnected
I often feel goosebumps when I listen to a particularly emotional, gripping piece of music. I think that most people has already experienced that form of interconnection between hearing and touch at least once.
What an amazing presentation. I was on the edge of my seat listening to this ground-breaking talk by Claudia Aguirre. Great great great!
It is amazing how food, lifestyle and stress is killing us inside and out. Great talk.I have also noticed since I cleaned my diet my GI system is calmer and stronger and so is my skin, so my skin was yelling out what was going on inside, something a very smart doctor told me so long ago, I just did not understand how to heal it. So get clean in life and you can deal with much more, body, mind and soul.

I see the loosing pigment on the skin after divorce and trauma!!
It makes sense..
God bless everyone!
I've seen a change in a wife's skin after a few years of marriage. Amazing,she started out with beautiful skin and in a few years she was sallow and full of acne and looked so different. I asked what was causing her stress with her husband (as she was quite verbal about being mad at him,) and all she could come up with was that he sat down on the toilet to pee. This was baffling. I knew her hubby was a maintenance and custodial supervisor and a working supervisor, in a school, (he was my boss), and I figured he didn't want to spill pee all over the floor because he had to clean it up from hundreds of boys slopping it on the floor. (I cleaned too so i knew they did this). So there must be something else that bothered this woman. I never found out what. I had never had anything but respect for her hubby and he was honest and clear communicating, and somehow he had disappointed her, but I don't know what it was.
Yes. But, reversible. Relax, pray, walk in nature, drink good water with lemon. Eat and squeeze lemon on your face and skin. Be kind to yourself. Love yourself;-)
@@makaylahollywood3677 hello I just started with hypo and hyper pigmrntation.. After several traumas... Do you think it'll go away??
@@marchmello1528 Thank you for sharing. I hear your concern. Healing includes finding new ways to be okay with it, accept it. *Most important, Be very Gentle & Kind to yourself;-)
Alleluia!!!!!! Finally.....a scientist who took the time to research the connection between emotions, diet and the skin (simplistically speaking). As a Holistic Esthetician, I've been teaching my clients this for years.....the skin is an amazing organ that speaks volumes about the health of your mind, body & Spirit.
severely abused children in the past didn't get such rashes.. what was different back then about their feelings? could it be that they only got 1 or 2 vaccines.. ever?
Becky Lieb i say it’s definitely the satanic vaccines.
This made me think of the rashes I would have as kid on various parts of my body. I received different creams for it and light therapy and it soothed but it never fully healed. I just so happened to have a bad childhood as well and as I got older and was able to take more control over my life, the rashes went away by themselves. Food for thought.
haha
Yes, as I heal trauma (childhood ACE score 9) my skin offers an external guage of progress.
I used to have a rash on the back of my upper arms, until I took vitamin A supplemente ( true vitamin A), and they went away.
Back in the 50's, a common expression about problems was: "Oh, don't worry, you will outgrow it eventually." It is true to a certain degree, but not 100%.
Me too.
The soldiers eyes and mouth - 1st eyes calm, enchanted, mouth relaxed corners turned upwards. 2nd eyes, fearful or shocked mouth corners in n line, 3rd eyes disillusioned, disenchant, almost empty, mouth corners going downwards. The eyes are indeed the windows of the soul.
I see the 2nd picture differently, I see focus an individual who is suppressing their emotion in order to operate under stress and make correct decisions I see no fear in those eyes they are simply empty of emotion to me. The last one is the one who knows he's made it and is allowing the emotions to be processed.
YES I'm a combat veteran and that was me!
Excellent talk!!! So interesting!!! After all the awesome and fast progress that we made , we still don't know our full physical and mental potential!!! I'm amazed!!!!
In addition to our skin I think our hair has sensory skills too
Indeed... Our hairs are our roots...
Hair, skin and nails
The follicle is what receives the energy and transmits it
especially hair that grows towards the sky, like antennas
Easier to deduct our skin is an extension of our brain. Excellent talk!!
Brain is the organ that the mental and emotional energy field of Mind- Consciousness uses. When the body brain dies, the Mind Continues.
That story about the boy with eczema is a reality in my life. My mom and grandmother tragically died in a flash flood my eczema actually went dormant somehow, I do recall losing my desire to medicate when the Tylenol tampering occurred and a little boy was hospitalized in the Midwest. Suddenly tamper proof packaging was implemented...
I appreciate your enlightening speech. Good luck and thank you.
Cherokee Blue sorry if i’m not understanding, going through trauma healed your eczema? :/:/
Wow this is amazing. I have had alopecia three times in my life. Recently i lost my job in a very strange way and i was not prepared. I had so many wars and the alopecia came back again. I am just healing
I am having this right now... :( They just did some cortisone injections so it wouldn't get any worse... But I found a new small spot again :(
@@abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0 Oh dear. I had the injections and they are painful i didnt go back. Right now mine is bad but as someone said we need to listen to our skin
@@Hannah-jk3dk & Elle, paint Lugol's Iodine on the bald patches of skin with a small paint brush - you may need to dilute it a little with distilled water, maybe not, just try it & see. Keep it up every other day for 3 months or so. After that put a few drops of Lugol's Iodine in the rinse water when you wash your hair - every time.
Your hair will grow back. That's a promise.
I have been under a lot of stress for the last two years and have lost so much hair. It's now only one third of it's original thickness with widening partings. Do you have any advice?
@@sallysassa interesting. Any idea why it works?
Enlightening talk that will change the way I think and nurture my skin. TED brings us such gifts with speakers like this.
The gut microbiome plays a huge role in skin issues. Also, the skin has a microbiome of its own. It's so important to keep our gut healthy.
Been saying this for years now. Glad science is backing it up. I'm constantly telling others, "your skin(body) is its own ADT (alarm) Home System,"...... learn to use it.
CONGRATULATIONS FOR YOUR EXCELLENT EXPLANATION !!! HUGS FROM BRASIL !!!
A really well communicated talk. In consciousness spirituality and alternative therapies we have long known the significance of the skin which is also the largest organ of the body.
For five thousand years pus (pre-sanantadharma) our Matriarchal Dewi culture has worked with the plant energetics and understanding. I must mention this because Aromatherapy in its modern scientific explanation is powerful - but very limited to its early consciousness understanding, which includes relationships - our endogenous and exogenous relationships with ALL existence rather than a therapy context of epidermis, dermis and hypodermis and its interrelationship with the human form.
I mention these ancient traditions simply because Aromatherapy works through treating the skin and involving the senses of touch, sound, taste and often sight (e.g. colour) as well as vibrational energetics. This total approach to healing often involves psychotherapies and cognitive therapies. In other words many thousand years ago during Matriarchy our healing techniques were very integrated, inclusive and worked with the assumption (knowledge) that the "whole" person within the "whole" (context of Cosmic Mother Earth or modern sustainability whole systems) requires treatment and rebalance rather than isolating and understanding one constitutent in isolation as traditional science does - also assuming (now known incorrectly) that the ego is superior and contains all and controls all. The brain is simply a data processing center. Our intelligence is complete and interconnected. This is why when humans create computers and machines based on their brain computational logic - they are creating (initially) a left brain extension of reality. I say initially because ultimately as we see with AI the computer doesn't "know" boundaries of knowledge as the human primate brain does and surpasses this restriction.
Nice explanation.
Do u know SADHGURU JAGGI VASUDEV
Your contribution is so deep.
Thank you Claudia, wonderful discussion. Maybe one day it can include the role our skin plays with Sun exposure and the laundry list of benefits resulting from Vitamin "D". Also, the benefits from Grounding/Earthing via our skin? You have opened the door to so many interesting discussions and health attributes!
I like this.
One of the most remarkable comments I've ever heard ... we can reach the mind through the body and we can reach the body through the mind.
This spoke to me in ways I can't articulate yet. Thank you Claudia Aguirre.
After a long soft massage I feel very relaxed and at peace. The next morning I wake up very sick and mentally disoriented. I learned that my psyche did not "agree" with this comfortable warm feeling, that I am not worthy of such comfort. My early childhood was clearly the problem. Today I believe I will lose 10 years of my life because of the pain caused by not being touched. I love the touch that makes me ill. Addictions anyone?
What a beautiful woman, intelligent and lovely way of speaking too!!
Listen to your skin, yes. Dx with CTLC-MF 10 years ago, have had sx for over 30 years. Because of this disease, I learned to listen to my skin, adjusted certain areas of lifestyle and am now enjoying clinical remission of this lymphoma that in early stages, expresses through the skin. Thanks for this inspiring TedTalk!
Claudia Aguirre, are you aware of the EndoCannabinoid System? It's being studied as the "think it in to being system". It is quite fascinating. Wonderful talk, thank you!
Once I went to the Doctor with an itch that wouldn't go away unless I put ice on it. No physical reasons could be found for the itch.. He finally asked me a strange question: He asked if I had any goals or things in my life that haven't happened yet ? I was at the time physically injured and unable to train for the Olympics which was an important goal to me. Once in a while , every few years during times when I am making important decisions, the itch will return.
❤️ You should do it. The Olympics has no age limit, only your mind does. Just start training and go for it. Sometimes, all we need is to "strive" for something, regardless of the outcome. That striving for a goal is what gives us that sense of completion, achievement, and joy. So go for it. ❤️
Once you do, you may satisfy or modify your perspective and surprise yourself about what you want next in life. Either way.... That itch may finally stop coming back.
I was in the hospital with perforated bowel for 5 months. I was getting a horrible itch from one of the medications, I forgot which, they had me on antibiotics for so long because of the sepsis and peritonitis, and I know that kills gut bacteria, and I had to be on benadryl for the itching. But that's all a sing of gut dysbiosis. I'm sure also my loss of mobility, I had to relearn to walk and after a year I'm off the walker and canes, but I still feel like I'm falling forward.
Aha! She’s right on. I’m dealing with an itchy skin condition that’s driving me nuts, tried several medications but it keeps coming back. I’ve been in charge of a very sick patient, who coughed and coughed loudly and constantly!
It’s been very disturbing to the patient and me! The patient was terminal and died! I’m still left trying to deal with the skin disease....after this lecture I will work on changing and improving my lifestyle attitude! It’s got to make the difference. Thank you!🤷🏼♀️
Elizabeth Wolfe de Kluijver hope everything is working out for you it sounds like you have eczema or separate dermatitis perhaps anyways there’s a community on Instagram it’s helping me a lot and I won’t give up
The last two weeks I have been listening to low bass cello all week on loud Bose system (play list on my RUclips) plus using internal iridology eye accessing cues (whole body / specific point viewing ) and oil on skin massage to get even more associated with my body. Have had fear paralysis withdrawal most of my life. I had become associated (feel my body/ feel touch) over the last decade but I still keep withdrawing out of habit. This video finds me, as I find myself feeling right out to the top level skin edges while at the same time pointing inward toward old emotional neurological addresses to release and new better ones to be found.
Goodbye singularity, hello skin. As we know and have come to learn, more and more how our identity is founded upon examining our own mind and body. It’s within the terminology synonymous with both medical ontological research literature, to those examining then deciphering what I can only call synesthesian anomalies within the mind, brain, sensory conduits and body functions where new discoveries await; I am optimistic of new frontiers to be surveyed now, from our current summit of understanding, looking upon our Medical Science and qualitative reasoning, both finding the language and the correct questions to go forth.
One of the better talks i heard in a while... beautiful in every sense of the word! ☺️
I KNOW that I'm healthier when my skin has rosy cheeks and clear skin. I'm just now starting to get that back after a catastrophic illness that has taken over a year and I am still recovering.
What did you have please
Thank you, beautiful wisdom
Thank You, Claudia Aguirre. And ... Our skin is our largest organ and our most exposed organ ... I just watched 2 different videos talking about our brain being in our heart (actual brain cells in our heart) and so this video was a perfect one to follow those. Love & Peace to All
I feel sound. I can control it and choose to experience the sound in any part of my body. It feels like a flower blossoming. I’m healthy and I’ve never had a stroke. I practice yoga and meditate.
wizetiger me too
Emotional stress causes problems throughout the body. More naturals, more peaceful moments, & less anger, and do your best to relieve emotional sad, energy-draining situations.
Maybe the title should be "Are you listening to your skin?"
- I am trying.
In Nigeria, there is a Proverb that goes thus " Ifura ni ogun agba. Self Awareness or Consciouness is the Great Might of the Elderly or Enlightened. Ifu means aware while ra is the short form of Ara which means skin. Ifura means awareness of the skin and other means of perception is the Great Might of the Enlightened or Elderly. Elderly not in terms of Age alone but also based on life experiences. A young person might be considered an Agba because life has thought the person so much.
Those knowledge has been with us in Africa for centuries we only need to admit the truth and rewrite history that Kemet is the Craddle of Civilization.
Melanin is the Cosmic Dust.
That was so thought provoking. Thanks!
Now I know what they mean about worry worts

Most interesting and what a wonderful natural speaker she is.
WOW! This helps me understand so much why the intuitive energy massage technique I learned is so effective!
Evelyn Glennie is deaf and she teaches people how to listen . She teaches music to deaf children . She is one of the best percussionist on the planet. Listen to her on Tedx . From my heart to yours Michael♥️🎵
Thank you so much. Cerebral Brain, Gut Brain, Skin Brain...check out Heart Brain, then keep checking until you discover that all the major organs have a "Brain". What's missing from this is the digital store and translator that makes them all communicate and how it all fits into "On The Origin of Species".
I am looking for a publisher of a work which is left-of-field of Dr Aguirre's address but salutes her. There is a more visceral process at work here.
But thank you again Dr. Aguirre. Again we are encouraged to look outside the "norm" by wonderful minds like the one in you.
What an amazing comment you just made: Each of out organs has a brain. Can that mean the skin can "see" ?
Possible that the interstitial fluid is the communicator?
@@willtabacchi1408 it cant see..but there's memory for example in the heart. Look up about the memory of the heart and heart transplantation.
@@willtabacchi1408 The skin can be trained to see just like our eyes. It is just an interface with the outside world. Try echo location yourself. Your ears can become your eyes after even a few minutes of practice. Blindfold yourself and make clicking sounds with your tounge while you walk around a room. You'll find you will start seeing colour where objects are. Really works.
@@willtabacchi1408 YES, THE SKIN SEE THE MORNING SUNLIGHT. OR THE SKINS SENSORS. EVEN IF YOU WEAR EYE MASK.
This woman is astonishingly beautiful! At first I thought it was Gina Davis
Finally, Beauty and Brain and a little big hint of Courage
Good stuff!!
Thanks for the great knowledge!
Great! Thank you as a scientist to make the bridge between science and somatic body/mind understanding! In the Trager Approach - coming from Milton Trager we listen to the skin and all the layers beyond and as you describe with a soft touch we invite blockages to evaporate and get into a. alternate experience of Self!
Really interesting video, easy to listen to and understand.
I'm blown away by this beautiful, transparent, well elaborated, smart and progressive presentation where new and important scientific understanding of our body is brought with such an elegance, persuasiveness and credibility. I'm thankful to Ms. Claudia Aguirre for this.
And I thank you for such a lovely message. How do you get the energy to write everything you think? And do you think so beautifully? Thank You!
@@E-Kat Hey Ekaterina! I'm not sure if your message is directed to me, but if it is, thank you.
@@reialestra9503 of course it is, you're an amazingly loving and caring person, I bet you're! Thank you!
@@E-Kat I don't know what makes you think so, but thanks anyway. It is very nice to hear that, even if it comes from a complete stranger. I bet you're a nice and loving person as well. :D
Absolutely loved your talk!
The Su Wen (The Simple Questions), the first section of The Huang Di Nei Jing (The Yellow Emporer’s Classic of Internal Medicine) written circa 100 BCE in China, discusses the relationship the lungs have with the skin, sadness and grief.
As an acupuncturist it is validating to hear the very well articulated scientific explanation of a development in medicine discovered intuitively over 2,000 years ago.
Excellent talk....so relatable and the underlying scientific connections reflected in the talk make the experiences much more believable..
Amazing lecture, after the discovery of the deep bowels-brain connection now this, it´s truly beautiful how our organs are connected in so many and unexpected ways. Taoist and other eastern strands of medicine also teach something similar, by the way.
Interesting talk! My favorite clip was 6:45-10:00. Paraphrasing it here.
Mothers touch changes a baby's epigenetic profile
Newly discovered nerve fibers only process the gentlest of touch, connect to the part of the brain that shows you your feelings
Gentle touch gives us a sense of who we are and can trigger out of body experiences
I highly appreciate her point of view and importance of skin and sense-abilities.
We have much more to learn in this subject.
Since skin is the biggest organ of our body; it will be great help to know how we can take better care of our skin.
Request her to provide some simple ways to be more careful about skin.
Thanks!
Tenderness and touch are beyond words.
The people with the best skin are enlightened
You mean melanated people.
Msa Professionals often actually yes haha but really, all enlightened people have a glow that just radiates through their skin
So wonderful- thank you
Embodied cognition, Brilliant!!!
Nicely shared. I was a bit surprised she didn't also share something delightfully perplexing - well, in terms of current science. It's that those brain chemicals, neurotransmitters, are also produced in the heart & the gut.
That tempts me to say that it's likely we don't understand thought as well as we'd like to believe, opening yet another delightful avenue to explore.
~♥~
Oh Sita,you know so much it`s scary,ooooo
embodied cognition. thank you for this talk.
Just a thought on the disembodiment part - when you separate yourself from the body, which includes the skin, the job that you just described is performed by the skin, that ability also separates. Reason being, its this separated entity which supports the skin to behave so intelligently. That intelligence is different from the body. Skin by itself, without this entity, cannot display any of the characteristics you described. Same applies for all the senses. However, as long as we are destined to stay within our skin, some expressions of our minds continues to display because of the close contact.
My face is very very sensitive to stress. I am in my 60's and when a stressful situation arises my face will get red with blemish's, not pimples just red raised areas. Sore to the touch. When things settle down, they go away! I use Sulphur ointment, to help with soreness. Yes I believe our skin tells us what we may be eating is not healthy for us, and stress. It is like a brain.
Sounds like hives. My son and I get them to in times of stress!
Amazing, very interesting. Somehow when you talked about the perception of sound in the particular case of a patient, --although what I am going to ask is not directly related--, it resonated with me, it reminded me of a problem that I have had since an unpleasant event occurred in my life: Tinnitus. Do you know if there are advances in the research of this unpleasant ailment and its possible solutions? Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a beautiful way.
Find the book " rock steady: healing vertigo and tinititus with neuroplasticity" it"ll help you a lot with that symtom.
Wow, she's got perfect skin, beauty and brains!
i have always thougth that humans are a collective of entites not one "creature" as we once thought. PeaceLove and light.
Very good. ´´listen to your skin´´
Omg trippy! 9:45 I triggered an out of body experience for someone by gentle touch just recently ! How fascinating
Thank you I have a serous autoimmune skin disorder will be doing more research. Lovely upbeat presentation.
I've been listening for 9 years now. Took a few times but figured out the shingles occur after stress. Ahh... so I'm now my own detective and I use my infallable outbreaks of shingles (very itchy patches) to gadge my stress leval and find a balance. You and others experiencing similar help so much xoxo
Gourgeous!!! Makes everything look and or sound better. So pretty.!!!
Great talk and terrific delivery.
I need a hug.
(( hug ))
@@angelinasouren Perfect!
This is probably one of my favorite TED talks. I'll admit, she was stumbling over her words-I wouldn't have done any better. But the information she shared and the points she brought up are really interesting. For many animals, skin plays a vital role in surviving, attracting mates, camouflaging, hypnotizing, etc. You could say that it has super powers ;) and I know we don't realize the potential or skin has.
Well skin is the largest single human organ as well. This our first line of defense against bacteria and viruses. So it's good not to act against it and to take good care of it. People who have burnt majority of their skin are unable to survive, even if their vital organs such as the brain are intact . It's too much of the shock for the rest of the human body to get in touch with our environment without enough protection from the skin. It's good to be aware of it.
She's absolutely gorgeous

Ms. Aguirre, your topic is very interesting. I would love to know what more has been learned in the past five years. I was a practicing hypnotherapist for many years. I experienced many things the mind corrected that modern medicine and science typically couldn't explain.
Man I loved this 100%
Awesome TedTalk!
Thank you Claudia!
I know when I am stressed I get the worst eczema.
I enjoyed this immensely. It really helps me understand so much and that magical connection in our skin/ brain/ sense of touch. Thanks for tagging me doctorclaudia
Excellent !!! Yes BTW i do listen to my skin. I have had some issues with it all my life. I'm in my 70's now. The problem is knowing how to respond to symptoms. And of course almost every thinking person will agree it's way better to find the root cause of a problem than to treat merely the symptoms. But much easier said than done. Thank goodness science and medicine are making progress in those areas with new discoveries.
That's great speech.
Lovely! I have a few conditions that I'm trying to understand what is going on. Funny how this video popped up! Thanks!
Amazing talk. Thank you thank you thank you
Excellent! Thank you 🧡
