Finding the Right Acne Treatment
Acne is a terribly debilitating condition that affects millions of people in the world. It is most prevalent in adolescent boys and girls. Many people have tried a lot of different prescription medication without success. They continue to feel that they look bad and this lowers their self esteem and confidence. If you fall into this category then you need to do something about it. If all of the prescriptive medication has failed, then it’s time to look elsewhere.
There are a whole raft of alternative treatments to banish Acne in the herbal medicine marketplace. Most of these treatments are available either from your local healthcare store or from a supplier online. Herbal remedies are 100% safe to take and have no side effects.
Girls get Acne because of an imbalance of androgen hormones in their body systems. The excessive amount of androgen produces some called sebum, and it is this sebum that then clogs up the hair follicles and creates the conditions under which Acne forms. Natural products that are recommended for fighting Acne include: wild yam, chaste berry, red clover, dong quai black Cohosh and evening primrose. These herbal treatments all have the ability to be able to readjust the levels of estrogen in your body and in doing so they act to nullify the excess amounts of androgen. These treatments also work for boys.
Acne is caused by an imbalance of androgen hormones that build up in the body. When levels of androgen are too high, a substance called sebum is produced.
Many people who suffer from Acne also have a deficiency of vitamin B5, (also known as Pantothenic acid), and it is therefore also recommended that Acne sufferers should take a 10g supplement of vitamin B5 daily and to continue with this for a few weeks after the complaint has disappeared just to ensure your reserves are topped up.
There are also certain herbs that can help to remedy the skin irritation that Acne causes. These are: burdock, licorice, Echinacea and dandelion root. For helping your skin to recover its natural complexion more quickly, salvia and red peony are recommended.
It is popularly believed that your lifestyle is a contributory factor to Acne forming, particularly if your lifestyle is an unhealthy one. Addressing this is therefore an important factor too, not only because of Acne, but for your overall well-being. We all live with too much stress today and good stress relief treatments include yoga, acupuncture, and aromatherapy.
Other Acne remedies from around the world include: Seaweed, which is a Chinese remedy, and tea tree oil, which is an Indian remedy. Both remedies are said to address all aspects of Acne and skin recovery.
