Protection – Boundaries – Sensitivity – Expression – Confidence
PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTION
Protective barrier and organ of contact. Regulates fluid and thermal exchanges.
Protects against external aggressors (microbes, toxins, UV, stress).
Plays immune, sensory and non-verbal communication roles.
PHYSIOLOGICAL OBJECTIVE
Promote healthy, supple and hydrated skin. Maintain an effective skin barrier.
Support local immunity and cellular repair.
THERAPEUTIC INTENTION
Strengthen protection and boundaries, soothe hypersensitivity, release emotional tension and restore self-confidence.

Main protocol: 970 / 355
Recommended preparation: 40/562 → 49/709
Van Gelder alternative: 94/200 → 970/200
Useful associations: 355/109 (vagus nerve) • 355/709 (parasympathetic)
355/562 (sympathetic) • 13/355 (skin lymphatic drainage)
284/355 (chronic skin inflammation) • 97/355 (fat)
142/355 (cutaneous fascia) • 77/355 (cutaneous connective tissue)
POCONÉOL
MAIN OPTIONS
2 – NERVOUS SYSTEM REGULATOR
Calms and structures the nervous system–gut–skin axis
Reduces hyperexcitability and skin hypersensitivity
Improves sleep quality and recovery
69 – NERVOUS SEDATIVE / INSOMNIA
Soothes nervous tension and inner agitation
Promotes relaxation and restorative sleep
Helps balance the nervous system–gut–skin axis
Skin imbalance often originates in the nervous and digestive systems.
DEPENDING ON THE TERRAIN – SKIN POCONÉOLS
1 – General drainage remedy (detoxification, elimination)
7 – Hepato-renal drainage remedy (toxic terrain)
8 – Antirheumatic remedy (skin and connective tissue)
10 – Lymphatic remedy (skin immune support)
11 – Antifungal remedy (skin mycoses)
18 – Mucous membranes (sensitive, irritated skin)
55 – Hepatic auto-intoxication (psoric terrain)
Select according to the terrain and clinical presentation.
HOMEOSERUM
MAIN: MALPIGHIAN
Primary action:
Supports epidermal regeneration and cellular maturation
Strengthens the skin barrier and local immune reactivity
Improves hydration, elasticity and repair capacity
POSSIBLE ASSOCIATIONS
Neurovascular
RES (Reticuloendothelial System)

CLINICAL FOUNDATIONS
Clinical correspondence based on the observations of John Van Gelder, later adopted by Carolyn McMakin.
It also draws on traditional Chinese medicine correspondences (Skin – Lung – Large Intestine – Spleen – Liver).
LEVEL OF EVIDENCE
Physiology: well established
FSM clinical experience: numerous clinical observations
Emotional correspondences: symbolic and traditional model
COMPLEMENTARY PROTOCOLS
970/109 (vagus nerve) • 970/709 (parasympathetic) • 13/355 (lymphatic drainage)
40/94 (nervous trauma if relevant history) • 970/562 (emotional + sympathetic)
PRACTITIONER ADVICE
Begin by regulating the autonomic nervous system (40/562 → 49/709).
In cases of toxic overload or chronic inflammatory terrain, combine Poconéol 7 with 1 or 55.
Malpighian homeoserum supports regeneration and the skin barrier.
Bach flowers complement the emotional work by supporting healthy boundaries and self-acceptance.
