If you are like me, you will avoid taking any medications when it comes to your health. Many of us believe that medications are poison for your body and natural remedies are a better choice, especially in the treatment of acne. Accutane is particularly frightening because of all of the side effects. Natural remedies for the treatment of acne will have very few side effects if any.
The Chinese believe in having a healthy mind body and soul. They are, after all the ones who came up with acupuncture. They are known for coming up with alternatives for health treatments.
To treat acne, they have found that herbal remedies have been effective as treatment for acne. Herbs such as neem (antelaea azadirachta), chaste tree berry (fructus viticus agni-casti), honeysuckle, yellow dock (radix rumicis), Burdock Root Seed (fructus artcii), Dandelion Root (radix taraxaci), Chamomile (flos anthemis seu matricariae), Sarsaparilla, Milk Thistle and Burdock Root Seed, may be beneficial for the health of your skin. Lets break down these herbs to see how they could be beneficial in treating acne:
Neem is used as an anti-inflammatory. As you are probably aware, acne is an inflammatory disease. Doctors usually prescribe topical creams to treat inflammation. Neem is a tree and the oil from the tree is what is used to treat acne. There are also many other non-acne related health benefits to neem.
Chaste Tree Berry stimulates pituitary function. Pituitary glands aid in the production of oil. Too much oil production causes acne.
Honeysuckle helps the body to detoxify by causing more perspiration.
