Herbal Remedies for Winter Acne

 

 

Good Morning!

 

Herbal Remedies for Winter Acne

 

Acne occurs when the sebaceous glands secrete too much oil. Normally the oil

flows from the glands to the skin's surface, but if the dead skin cells

accumulate, they can clog the pores. The skin reflects our internal health. Acne

is sometimes an indicator of toxic conditions. Too much waste product in the

kidneys, liver, lungs, intestine or digestive problems can all give cause for

breakouts. Allergies, high fat diet, emotional problems, pollution... these are

all causes.

 

Most cases of acne will disappear by themselves at the end of adolescence, but

if acne persists or becomes severe, it should be treated more aggressively to

prevent scarring.

 

Sudden appearance of acne in adulthood may be a sign of hormonal imbalance or

drug toxicity (usually from steroids). Get a medical checkup to rule out these

possibilities.

 

Western drugs, derivatives of Vitamin A, are used to treat acne. Tretinoin

(Retin-A) is a topical preparation, while isoretinoin (Accutane) is for internal

use. These drugs are safe when used under the supervision of a dermatologist but

should not be used casually because they can be irritating and toxic. (Caution:

Do not use if pregnant. These drugs may cause birth defects).

 

Clean the skin regularly with soap and water as well as with the special acne

formulas containing benzoyl peroxide. This is an excellent cleansing agent and

the active ingredient of many lotions and creams, both over-the-counter and

prescription varieties. Benzoyl peroxide may irritate the skin, so it is best to

leave it on for only two hours, then wash it off.

 

Herbs used for general detoxification of the liver and bowels assist in

elimination and herbs that increase perspiration through the skin are very

helpful in treating acne.

 

Acne that grows into large groups can form sebaceous cysts, carbuncles or

furuncles. Boils can be large and inflamed and can be a sign of a staphylococcus

or (staph) infection. Weak immune function, diabetes mellitus, poor nutrition

and the use of immunosuppresive drugs are some causes. Boils are often an

infection that starts at the hair follicle, inflammation occurs and then

spreads. The bacteria in the pus reacts the same as acne in that it is

contagious to the surrounding skin. Staph infection is contagious, can

contaminate new skin, causing new boils or enter the bloodstream and spread to

other body parts. Without treatment, a boil usually comes to head, opens and

drains in 10-25 days.

 

This is something that should be watched carefully. If nausea, vomiting, fever

or infection grows, these are signs that these pus and blood filled boils are

not acne, but a bacterial infection. Severe cases require, blood test and doctor

to prescribe antibiotic and draining incision and bed rest.

 

Boils are usually treated by lancing the boil to get the pus core out and oral

antibiotics are given to get rid of the infection.

 

Poultices, warm towels on a regular basis will help with pain and drawing it out

of skin. Do this 4 times a day for about 20 minutes.

 

Clean the wound. This is important to prevent infection and to decrease the

chance of permanent discoloration, or scarring. Wash the area with soap and

water Your own saliva contains many enzymes, which kill bacteria. Use it to

clean the area if soap/water are not available. The object is to dilute the

bacteria in the wound.

 

Disinfection is necessary, pour 3 percent hydrogen peroxide into the wound, let

it foam up, repeat, and pat dry with a clean piece of gauze or cotton.

 

Yunnan Paiyao is an excellent Chinese herbal powder, which helps to stop

bleeding, close the wound and decreases scarring. This patent formula alone

helps the flesh regenerate and prevents blood stasis and infections, which could

lead to scarring. It can be used externally and taken internally as well!

Excellent treatment for boils and staph infection.

 

Consider burdock root, which is a natural blood cleanser, red clover to cleanse

the blood, along with Chlorophyll and garlic, a natural antibiotic. Take

additional Vitamins A, C, E, which are powerful anti-inflammatory and Co enzyme

Q10, a fantastic antioxidant.

 

Herbal Remedies

 

Basil has been shown to kill bacteria on the skin surface. Apply this tincture

directly to the skin surface on a compress. This works to kill the bacteria that

forms blackhead and whiteheads. It is also possible to steep two to three

teaspoons of dried basil in a cup of boiling water. Allow the herb to steep 5-10

minutes or more in order to extract the healing oils from the plant. Then soak a

washcloth or compress in the tea and apply to the areas where acne is most

present.

 

Burdock is a tonic herbs and have been used in the treatment of skin conditions.

Burdock is an herb that boosts immunity and purifies the blood. It's a

traditional liver tonic and a mild, natural diuretic. Burdock's laxative and

diuretic properties help remove toxins from the system. The Chinese utilize it

against tumors, inflammation, fungal and bacterial infections. It is often

recommended for dry, scaly skin. You can take burdock in capsule form (follow

the directions) or make a acne fighting tea. Burdock root tincture may be taken

in 2–4 ml amounts per day. Dried root preparations in a capsule or tablet can

be used at 1–2 grams three times per day.

 

Calendula is a good herbal treatment for the skin, commonly known as Marigold.

(It is not a true marigold.) Calendula is a popular ornamental plant. Try

washing your skin with tea made from the flowers or taking the tincture orally.

 

Dandelion is a leading remedy for detoxing the liver. It stimulates the flow of

bile, a fluid that aids fat digestion, which is why it's used for liver and

gallbladder disorders. Dandelion has scientifically documented potent diuretic

properties. It relieves constipation and eases bloating and swelling. Dandelion

should be used for 4 to 6 weeks at a time. For it's liver benefits dandelion is

helpful for acne.

 

Garlic can be taken internally 2-3 times a day as well as massaging your acne

with raw garlic several times a day.

 

Oregon Grape Root (Berberis aquifolium) has antibiotic properties and helps

stimulate the immune system.

 

Red Clover is an herb suggested for chronic conditions affecting the skin. It is

a diuretic, but it's unknown exactly how it works for skin conditions. Use

nonfermented red clover which is safe. Red clover contains a substance called

genistein, which has anticancer properties.

 

Yellow Dock is another herb that purifies the blood. It has compounds called

anthraquinone glycosides that stimulate bile production, aiding digestion and

cleansing the liver. Some herbalists believe that chronic skin problems like

acne improve with long-term use of yellow dock. Don't take yellow dock if you

have kidney stones.

Using a rebounder (mini trampoline) is an excellent way to get rid of varicose

veins. It's also a great way to improve your health overall.

Gowtham,

I dont know of the effectiveness of this medicine. I have not used it and I

dont know anyone who have used it. I have only seen its advertisments in

many Kerala based periodicals. So thought it may be of help to you.

Anyway, since it is an ayurvedic medicine, there may be no harm in trying

it once.
