Using Herbal Medicine to Treat Acne


Acne can be a struggle for many people, and while there are many myths about one of the most common skin conditions in the world, there are some things that you can do to treat and more importantly help to prevent it.

First don’t believe that just because a product is expensive or has a bunch of flashy advertising on television, that it will work better. This is just not true.

In order to prevent acne and many other skin conditions (such as boils and abscesses) you must first know what causes it, as they say the best defense is in fact a good offense.

The skin is the single largest organ of the body, and acne is an infection of the pores of the skin. The basic explanation is that hormonal imbalances over stimulate the skins sebaceous (oil) glands and the pores then become clogged allowing bacteria to grow causing acne; this is why it is so common at infancy, during puberty, or during menstruation, and pregnancy.

Many herbs are very useful in the treatment of acne and other skin infections.

Calendula is a very useful herb for treating acne and many other skin related conditions from cradle cap to skin ulcers, and is effective even in long standing infections. It promotes rapid healing and also helps to prevent scar formation.

Burdock is a tradition herb for treating acne, which is not only antiseptic but also has anti cancer properties as well. Tea tree oil is also excellent for treating acne, it is one of the most broad spectrum herbal medicines known, it is gentle on the skin, it is as effective as the allopathic medicine benzoyl peroxide without an of the side effects of redness, itching, stinging, or dryness.

So there is no need to suffer anymore acne is a common condition that herbal medicine can treat quite successfully.
