Deals with restorative cosmetology. This is understood through the eyes of the doctor specializing in phytotherapy. Three main aspects are discussed: the diagnosis of disturbance of the skin and integuments, external treatment with natural substances, as well as oral treatment (internal treatment). Oral cosmetology has no official recognition, yet the effects of plant extracts on the condition of the skin and integuments are well known. After an introduction to the physiology of the skin, the dosage and the phenomena of skin deterioration, the author discusses different types of treatment depending on the extracts used while explaining their mode of action. This work was written by a doctor, Doctor Paul Goetz, teacher in clinical phytotherapy, and a pharmacist, Doctor Christian Busser, pharmaceutical and scientific advisor, doctor in ethnology and ethnopharmacologist.
