A Natural Approach to The Management, Treatment, and Cure of Acne
Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 Acne is something nearly everyone has gone through. It is largely a disorder of the sebaceous gland (glands in the skin that secrete an oily substance) of the face, the neck and back. When the sebaceous glands become clogged with the oily substance they create, the accumulation results in pimples. There are quite a few forms of acne, but the most common is acne vulgaris, found primarily in adolescents.
The exact root cause of acne is unknown, but factors that contribute to this condition consist of genetics, greasy skin and androgens. Other factors include allergies, strain, the use of certain drugs, dietary deficiencies, liver dysfunction, contact with engineering pollutants, makeup and the monthly menstrual cycle.
Additionally, the skin works to purge some of the body’s toxic waste by sweating. If the person’s body has more toxins than the kidneys or liver can effectively release, the skin takes over. In fact, a number of doctors call the skin the 3rd kidney. As toxins leak through the skin, they can disorder the physical condition and integrity of the skin, creating issues.
Recommendations for Wellness
Notice: Some of these suggestions could take 2-4 weeks before any results or improvements are experienced.
Smear distilled white vinegar (can be thinned if very strong) to the face and afflicted areas. Consent for this to sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off with cold water.
Lemon or any other citric fruit works magnificently as a natural exfoliate, removing dead skin cells which may clog up the pores. Like with the white vinegar, apply the liquid of a lemon (or desired citric juice) to the face. Allow it to dry for about 10 minutes, next rinse using cold water. You could be aware of a mild sting or burn when the lemon juice is applied. If so, diluting the juice is tolerable.
Raise water intake. Water helps flush poison out and helps move nutrients in the body.
Have a properly balanced diet to ensure proper nutrition.
Take a high quality multiple vitamin and mineral supplement to replace nutrients missing in today’s foods.
Echinacea or Oregon grape can be used to heighten the immune system and battle acne-influencing bacteria.
Dandelion, Burdock or red clover can help to keep the liver clear of toxic overload.
Herbal combinations such as Natures Sunshine’s Ayurvedic Skin Detox and BP-X can also be used to clean and detoxify the liver and ease acne.
Historically, large quantities of vitamin A have been successfully employed to heal severe acne. Large amounts, nonetheless, can be toxic and should only be used when working with your health care provider.
Think about adding extra zinc to your diet. Zinc aids in the healing of tissues and aids in preventing scarring. It is also key for the body in resisting infection and inflammation.
To clear and heal the skin, try a homeopathic Acne remedy. It can help to dry up pimples & foil future outbreaks.
