Home Remedies For Acne Cases
Acne has been around for a lot longer than modern Western medicine. People were suffering from acne before there was a corner drug store with an entire aisle dedicated to products that treat acne.
That being the case, you can bet your bippy (whatever and wherever your bippy is) that there are home remedies to treat acne. Some of them even work.
The best two home remedies for treating acne are careful and correct twice daily skin cleansing and eating a diet that actually promotes healthy skin (fresh fruit, fresh vegetables, and whole grains). Another “home remedy” that has some credence is avoiding cow’s milk altogether. Unless you are a farm kid, you probably don’t know that cow’s milk comes from cows that have just delivered a calf. Cow’s milk is loaded with progesterone - the very hormone that is known to cause acne.
One home remedy that does help is a blood-cleansing formula that is made from all-natural ingredients. Equal portions of extracts from sarsaparilla, yellow dock, burdock, and cleavers are mixed together. The acne sufferer is told to take a half-teaspoon of the mixture three times a day. There is no indication of how long this treatment is supposed to last.
A mixture of 5% tea tree oil and 95% water applied to the whiteheads, blackheads, and pustules that make up the acne is supposed to be effective in treating the problem. This mixture is supposed to be applied to the face (or other acne infected areas), left to sit for 15 minutes, and then rinsed away. Tea tree oil should never be used in an undiluted state. It will burn the skin and cause it to itch and turn red.
Your family likely has remedies for acne that have been handed down from generation to generation. Try them; but if you don’t get immediate results, see a dermatologist - he really can help.
