Herbal and Alternative Remedies for Acne
Acne is a problem almost everyone faces at some time in their lives. It's most
commonly seen on teenagers going through puberty, because of the hormonal
changes happening within the body. Acne can be a problem all through your
adult years too, for both hormonal reasons or when your body needs to be
cleansed.
Most people want to treat acne with topical creams and ointments, but the best
acne treatments actually need to be taken internally, so the problems can be
resolved from the inside out. Acne is often caused by hormonal imbalances, but
it's also caused due to toxicity in the body as well. By taking some simple
steps to start detoxifying your body, you'll often clear up acne related
problems naturally.
There are many single
herbal acne remedies for adults and teenagers. Some herbal combinations
are designed specifically to help with female or male hormonal imbalances as
well. When taking hormonal herbal remedies, you'll often clear up several
problems at once.
For example, there are several herbs which work together wonderfully for
correcting hormonal imbalances in women. These herbs work on internal
problems, with the end results being reduce menstrual cramps, regulated
menstrual flow, and improved skin conditions such as acne.
Ginger for instance, helps to cleanse the kidneys and bowels, removes excess
toxins from the body, and stimulates the circulation. Lobelia helps encourage
the flow of oxygenized blood, which in turn helps remove obstructions,
congestion and toxins.
Other excellent herbs to use for female hormonal problems include Red
Raspberry, Black Cohosh, Marshmallow, Kelp.
Kelp is an excellent single herb to take for a variety of problems, because
it's a potent source of many vitamins and minerals. In fact, it's very much
like an all natural multi-vitamin, and this can help restore the balance of
vitamins and minerals in your body, which in turn will help clear up the acne
and related health problems.
Going on any good cleansing or detoxifying diet will help clear up the acne
too, but remember it can sometimes get worse before it gets better, because
your body starts pushing toxins out faster once you start a cleanse.
A good herbal face wash option is Chickweed tea. Dissolve chickweed capsules
in warm water, then bathe the face with it and rinse. Chickweed is also
wonderful to use as a bath soak for other sores, rashes, boils and burns.
