Hello everyone,I have had the recent opportunity to purchase a wonder eBook on acne treatment called Total Acne Treatments. It has a great common sense information about general skin care and more specifically natural acne treatment remedies, causes and prevention. Here are some natural acne treatment remedies that I wanted to share with you all.
These natural acne treatment remedies have been used by homeopaths and other practitioners for many years with great result, but it is important to note that herbal supplements are not regulated or approved by the FDA. Because of this, it is always important to ensure that you are purchasing any herbs from a reputable supplier.
Tip: Fresh is better. When it comes to buying herbs to make teas, facial washes, and other acne treatments, it is recommended that you purchase and use the freshest herbs you can find. Dried herbs, especially those that have been exposed to light and oxygen, are far less effective than fresh herbs.
Evening Primrose Oil- Evening primrose oil is a common herbal supplement offered by naturopaths for patients suffering from acne. Typically patients will take three 500 milligram capsules per day for up to three months, or until the acne has cleared.
Chamomile and Lavender Many naturopaths and holistic practitioners believe that stress is a main cause of acne. Because the condition is due at least in part to hormonal imbalances, there is certainly some evidence to support this. Chamomile and lavender are both excellent herbs for relaxation. Steeping the flowers of these plants in a tea ball in order to brew a cup of hot tea can help alleviate stress, thus helping to balance hormones and to prevent outbreaks.
Tea Tree Oil- Tea tree oil is another effective ingredient when it comes to treating acne. It is a natural antiseptic that is very gentle on the skin, making it ideal for healing blemishes without causing further irritation. It works well when a single drop is applied to each blemish, or it can be made into a tea such as the one listed above or steeped with echinacea, goldenseal, or calendula.
