Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 I am looking for a natural way of curing Acne for a 25 year old. She feels that it is hormone related as when she goes on the pill it clears up. She has tried evening primrose, vitamins. She also eats very healthy food. No junk. Drinks lots of water. With thanks Diana Moore www.bowentherapy.homestead.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 9, 2009 Report Share Posted February 9, 2009 My mom read somewhere to use Milk of Magnesia for acne. I think you put it on like a mask, leave it on and wash off as needed for preventative. You could also dab it on the sores individually as they occur. Mind you I haven't actually tried it so I can speak personally of it's effectiveness... Laura in Austin ____________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Look at your diet---drink lots of clean water and eat as close to the earth as possible---it makes a difference. The acne is coming from the inside. , Max <orange_stuff99 wrote: > > I've read that a zinc deficiency is sometimes the cause, try a zinc supplement > > --- On Mon, 2/9/09, Laura Hon <laura.hon wrote: > Laura Hon <laura.hon > Re:Any natural and successful Acne cures? > > Monday, February 9, 2009, 11:23 AM > > > > > > My mom read somewhere to use Milk of Magnesia for acne.

The side effects are nothing but positive. Worth a try. She can also try Pascalite clay as a facial mask a few times a week. Amazing stuff, a pot should be in every household! http://pascalite.com And last buy not least, MASSIVE probiotics, though if she eats healthy to start with, that might not make much difference. Oh one more: EFT! I suffered the miseries of acne in my long-ago youth (how come most of today's junk-swilling teens have clear skin?) and it always got worse with STRESS.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Even though she says she is eating really well, write it down--- everything and really look at it, post it here and you might get some help with that.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 I would suggest giving up all dairy products and using a good probiotic and doing a liver cleanse. When the liver is clean it can process hormones. A good quality fish oil or perhaps borage oil may help. Vitamin D may be lacking as well. Sunshine is great for the skin. Living where I do, it's dark and gray most of the winter and everyone's skin gets worse. Most likely I would assume that dairy may be a culprit. What's healthy for one person may not be for another so it's pretty hard to say if her diet is healthy or not.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I've been using tea tree oil for both myself and my 13 year old son. Just a small dab on Q-tip and applied directly to the pimple works well -- often times over night. Also I have found a readymade herbal acne remedy " Burt's Bees- Herbal Blemish Stick. " This Herbal Blemish Stick is not a " chapstick " like stick. It is a small glass bottle with a little roller ball at the top. You tilt the bottle to move the liquid up and then rub the roller ball on the affected area. The directions said to apply the stick to the affected area after washing. Ingredients are: " SD Alcohol 40-B (from yellow corn), calendula extract, borage extract, yarrow extract, parsley extract, willow bark extract, lemon oil, fennel oil, water, tea tree oil, juniper oil, eucalyptus oil.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Sounds like a damp heat situation. Stay away from greasy and spicy foods. There are good acupuncture points and chinese herbs for this sort of thing. - <energy_now Friday, February 13, 2009 7:07 PM Re: Any natural and successful Acne cures? >I would suggest giving up all dairy products and using a good > probiotic and doing a liver cleanse.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2009 Report Share Posted February 16, 2009 Tea Tree is helpful once you have a blemish, but addressing the CAUSE of the acne is the goal. Is it hormonal? Is it all over the face or basically on the chin line? Acne is often associated with a zinc deficiency which is very inexpensive and easy to supplement with. Helpful for so many things.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi Michelle, She feels that it is hormonal as when she goes on the pill her skin becomes totally clear...but she doesn't want to be on the pill but is finding it hard to cope with her skin being very spotty. The spots are all over her face. She has been taking Evening Primrose Oil for several months and it has made no difference. She has tried tumeric, vitamins, eats lots of salmon, fresh vegetables, and fresh fruit.

Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Interestly enough, I just completed a Personal Consultation for a woman with hormonal acne a few days ago. I learned a lot about it while researching and preparing her evaluation. Her acne is likely caused by an excess of androgens, especially if it's primarily around the chin and jaw line. Yes, allopathic docs put women on the pill because estrogens " block " the over abundance of androgens. But, then you've got the issue of synthetic, risk-laden hormones which she is wise to avoid. Inhibiting 5-alpha reductase type I activity is the goal. One of the best approaches is zinc, but there's sure a lot more to it than that. Flax oil helps, and a good, comprehensive multiple vitamin. There are also numerous herbs and foods that help.

Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hello, I used to get large internal/external pimples around the jaw line....having done network chiropractic where your nervous system is worked on, freeing subluxations your body holds on to, I no longer have any of this. Try this before going to any internal remedies/chemicals. Namaste, Cathy --- On Thu, 2/19/09, Michelle <michelle wrote: Michelle <michelle Re: Any natural and successful Acne cures?
