Attn: Doc...Health and irate fam... now: acne

[Guest guest]

Thanks, Doc! Sure will

 

To Gina, if I can jump in with my 2 (or 4) cents on acne experience

(from teenage years to mid-20s), I think the same holds true for the

kidneys' relationship to that whole group of skin disorders.

Anywhere there's toxin in the body, the kidneys have to work to get

rid of it, and when they can't, it comes through the skin.

 

Also for acne, when I get a little hormone-related breakout at

certain points of my monthly cycle, I do 2 things: first, I

internally take a few capsules of Burdock, which is a bitter blood-

cleansing herb. Topically, I'll slice open a few strawberries (even

if they've started to go a little bad such that they taste a little

funny they're still good for this, so this's how I use up

strawberries I've forgotten about that I don't want to eat but feel

bad throwing out), and I rub the slices on the affected area. I've

found that the acids cleanse the pores deeply without drying the

skin. And the chill is really refreshing especially in summer. In

fact, I do this as a preventive measure if I've sweated a lot or I

can detect certain points of my cycle. Cost: not even pennies.

Compare that to all the overpriced prepared scrubs that just dry

your skin out! lol Just my ramblings

 

I'm sure Doc has some cool remedies as well!

 

Blessings,

Eczema.
