Breath work activates your nervous system’s “calm” response, helping slow your heart rate, ease tension, and reduce feelings of overwhelm.

FAQ: Is HS contagious or an STD?
No. HS is NOT contagious & NOT a sexually transmitted disease. It’s a chronic inflammatory condition that impacts the whole entire body & presents itself on the skin anywhere there is a hair follicle yet predominantly in intimate areas.
Stress doesn’t just affect your mood.. It can impact your body too, especially with Hidradenitis Suppurativa.
When you’re stressed, your body releases hormones like cortisol that can disrupt the immune system & increase inflammation, making flare-ups more likely or more intense.
Support groups and why they matter- Our support groups can make a powerful difference when living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa.
