Acne: Squeezing Out a Cure

Acne is a condition of the skin in whith oil produced by your glands just below the skin gets trapped, producing inflammation--and usually infection. Unfortunately, acne commonly ocurs on the face, making it an unsightly problem that needs to be cleared up once and for all.

Keeping the face clean is certainly important when suffering from acne, but a dirty face is not usually the core problem. Acne occurs because of overactive glands, usually hormonally induced. In addition, excess toxins usually are present in the blood and are being eliminated through the skin, causing skin conditions such as acne, pimples, and/or rashes.

Adolescent Acne: An Herbal Cure is Zit!

As if being a teenager isn't hard enough, now you have pimples to deal with! No doubt this condition is annoying, but before you cancel your engagements for the rest of your life, read on to see how herbs can help.

The liver is instrmuental in filtering away excess hormones. In the teen years, our body fluctuates its hormone production - sometimes wildly. Therefore, when our liver (which is responsible for filtering excess hormones from the blood) can't keep up with this pace, we find the excess hormones in the blood showing up as acne or pimples on the face.

Making up for the insufficient liver-filtering function by cleansing the blood and liver is an effective approach toward clearing up the problem. Additionaly, cleansing the bowel helps get rid of toxins through the intestinal system instead of the skin - a nicer way to go!

Burdock Root: Cleaning the Blood

One of the best-known blood cleansers to herbalists is burdock root. Burdock (Arctium lappa) not only cleanses the blood of excess wastes, but it also helps your glands regulate hormonal batance. Burdock seems to be very politically active-it is against everything! Burdock is anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor. These qualities make it helpful for anti-acne, too.

Burdock* seems to work well for cleansing the liver, kidneys, and bowel, and is therefore helpful for clearing up associated symptoms. Soak a cotton ball in a burdock fomentation or tea and apply to your face for a toning effect.

On The Surface

Topically, keep your face clean and apply tea tree oll to infected pimples. The tea tree oil is very drying, so use it topically to help dry up infecfion. Be careful that you don't apply it so often that it makes your skin dry and flaky, however. A tea tree oil soap is very effective for washing and drying up infection at the same time. Tea tree oil is antiseptc and anti-fungal, prevents infections, and even acts as a local anesthetic to reduce pain.
A little sunshine on your face will not only help you get some vitamin D, which helps the skin, but will also help to clear your acne condition. But of course don't overdo the sunshine!

Finally, stay away from junk food! Excess caffeine, sugar, and oily fats overburdens the liver and defeats your goal. Drink plenty of pure water; adding some lemon to your drinking water will help, too-vitamin C content in the lemon will help cure skin problems, and lemon is a good tonic for the liver.

Burdock and Red Clover: Your Pimble Problems Are Over

Adults with acne can follow the same herbal advice for teenagers by using burdock root to cleanse the blood. For men or women, red clover (trifolium pratense) taken intenally has been an excellent herb for cleansing the blood and clearing up skin ailments such as acne. You can support the liver (which filters excess hormones from the blood) to get to the source of your problem. Take two to three tabtets of either burdock, milk thistle, red clover, or dandelion two to three times daily to help your face clear up.

Red clover has been used for centuries as a key herbal ingredient in fighting cancer because of its effect on cleansing the blood and liver and assisting with protein assimilation. See This page for a more detailed look at red clover.

Both men and women can take supplemental zinc, vitamins A and D and niacin. All have proven helpful for acne. Zinc helps in skin healing of any kind vitamins A and D feed the skin, and niacin helps flush built-up wastes ftom the circulatory system.
