Parasympathetic nervous system and chronic facial dermatitis
1ikoehler@sbcglobal.net
Summary
Chronic facial dermatitis (CFD) may stem from the central nervous system (CNS) and stress. Organ-specific treatments targeting parasympathetic pathways effectively resolved CFD, validating the hypothesis.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Dermatology
- Psychoneuroimmunology
Background:
- Chronic facial dermatitis (CFD) is a complex skin condition.
- The central nervous system (CNS) and stress are implicated in its pathogenesis.
- The parasympathetic nervous system's role in CFD persistence is under investigation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the hypothesis that the parasympathetic nervous system is primarily responsible for chronic facial dermatitis.
- To evaluate the efficacy of organ-specific treatments targeting parasympathetic stress in resolving CFD.
Main Methods:
- The study challenged the hypothesis by applying organ-specific treatments.
- Treatments were designed to address and resolve parasympathetic stress.
Main Results:
- Organ-specific treatments led to the resolution of chronic facial dermatitis.
- These findings support the link between parasympathetic stress and CFD.
Conclusions:
- The parasympathetic nervous system plays a crucial role in the persistence of chronic facial dermatitis.
- Targeting parasympathetic pathways with organ-specific treatments offers a viable therapeutic strategy for CFD.

Cranial Part of Parasympathetic Division
The cranial part of the parasympathetic division plays a crucial role in regulating the visceral functions of the head and specific structures in the neck, thoracic, and abdominopelvic cavities. Preganglionic fibers of the parasympathetic division exit the brain through cranial nerves III (oculomotor), VII (facial), IX (glossopharyngeal), and X (vagus), delivering parasympathetic output to the respective visceral structures.

The Parasympathetic Nervous System
Overview
Parasympathetic Division of the ANS
The parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates rest and digestion functions in the body. It works in opposition to the sympathetic division, promoting relaxation, conservation of energy, and digestion. The parasympathetic division consists of preganglionic fibers originating from specific cranial nerves (III, VII, IX, X) and the sacral spinal nerves (S2-S4). These fibers synapse with postganglionic neurons in the terminal ganglia, innervating various organs and...
Skin Diseases and Disorders
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Disorders of the Autonomic Nervous System
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is an intricate network of nerves that controls functions such as the regulation of heart rate, digestion, and blood pressure regulation. When this system malfunctions, it can lead to various disorders that affect multiple bodily functions. One common feature of many autonomic disorders is the involvement of smooth blood vessels, which play a crucial role in regulating blood flow throughout the body.

Parasympathetic Signaling
Parasympathetic signaling plays a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes. It involves the release of acetylcholine (ACh) by parasympathetic neurons, which can have localized and short-lived effects. The majority of ACh released is rapidly inactivated at the synapse by the enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE), which hydrolyzes Ach into choline and acetate. Additionally, the tissue cholinesterase deactivates any ACh diffusing into the surrounding tissues.
