Natural and Dietary Therapies for Acne
The typical modern medicine
answer to outbreaks of acne
include antibiotics, drying
agents, skin peelers and in
some cases a very toxic and
strong drug Accutane TM. All
of these will normally work
for a short period of time,
but eventually, if the original
cause of the acne is not addressed
and treated, the acne returns,
usually stronger and more
widespread than before.
Many of the common theories
regarding the possible cause
of acne point to the improper
release of toxins. As the
skin is the largest organ
of the body, it helps to eliminate
toxins and waste through sweating
if the kidneys and liver are
overburdened. When a person's
diet is unhealthy, their hormones
out of balance or their skin
clogged, acne is usually one
of the red flag symptoms.
In using natural therapies
to treat acne, the focal points
of treatment are to decrease
the amount of toxins that
need to be excreted, balance
the hormones, and in general,
bring the body back into balance.
All of the above can be regulated
through diet, herbs and other
nutritional supplements.
Vitamin and mineral therapy
is a good place to start in
the quest to clear up a case
of acne. Crucial additions
to the diet include essential
fatty acids, chromium picolinate,
and zinc. A variety of vitamins
such as Vitamin A, B complex
with extra B3, Vitamin C with
bioflavonoids, Vitamin D3,
and Vitamin E are also helpful
in supporting the body while
it works to come back into
balance.
Herbal therapy includes any
herb that works to detoxify
the liver and kidneys. Examples
include burdock root, dandelion
leaves, milk thistle and red
clover. Burdock root and red
clover also help in cleansing
the blood which is another
important part of the overall
therapy to decrease acne outbreaks.
For hormonal balancing many
claim that chaste tree berry
works very effectively.
Regardless of the type of
treatment you decide to use,
always check with your doctor
first about the natural therapies
you would like to try.
