NATURAL ACNE TREATMENT

Two great health pioneers, Prof Arnold Ehret and Dr. Stanley Burroughs have stated that the skin is an important eliminating organ second only to the lungs, thus what you eat (or do not eat) should be taking into consideration when seeking an effective acne remedy. Taking this into consideration, I refer you to Chapters 12-18 of my e-book: Fitness: Inside and Out: A Guide to Improved Health, Vigor and Vitality for a well rounded source of information on a proper diet which will form the basis of acne treatment from its root cause.

Acne Remedy

It has been said 'anything worth having is worth striving for' or you could say 'you reap what you sow.' I must inform you my friend that a sacrifice of some sort may be required of you to banish this deforming skin condition, but with the guidelines offered in section 3 of the downloadable e-book, your efforts will surely be crowned with success.

The sacrifice is what has been acclaimed world wide as the nearest approach to a cure-all which is Fasting combined with a properly selected diet. This doesn't mean you would have to go without food (although that is, if desired the final stage) there are juice fasts, fruit fasts, dry fasts etc that are easy and highly beneficial for acne treatment and control.

They only need to be undertaken for 48 hours or more and combined with the Menus and Recipes offered in Chapter 16 of my e-book, which adhere strictly to such guidelines as: Avoiding Disease Forming and Eating Body healing foods; when to eat them and in what combinations, you definitely are well on the path to not just smoother skin but an overall increase in Health and Fitness.

Before we go over the natural acne treatment I used to cure my pimples, let’s go over some factors such as the common types of acne, acne treatment medicines and why they actually may NOT be beneficial and a general overview of drug-free healing as a remedy for acne.

Types of Acne Requiring Treatment

Now acne is commonly described as the appearance of blackheads, spots and pustules on the face, back and chest. Contrary to popular belief, it is not just teenagers who have acne. It affects 25% of all adult men and 50% of adult women at some time.There are two types of acne classifications, one is acne vulgaris and the other is acne roseaca. Each of these classifications also have sub-categories depending on the type, but the good news here is regardless of the symptom or kind of acne, drug-free healing is not limited in its use, even when it comes to acne treatment.

-Acne vulgaris includes: Blackheads, Whiteheads, Papules, Pustules, Nodules and Cysts.

-Acne roseaca-on the other hand-is similar to acne vulgaris (oily skin, spots, pustules), but people with acne roseaca also experience skin flushing and a general redness of the area. These flushes can be set off by certain foods, such as spicy food and alcohol. (At least medical research and naturopathy agree on one thing here…the foods you eat do affect your complexion.)

Most Acne Treatment Medications MAY not be worth the Side Effects!

From my own experience, I am of the firm belief that most, if not all, forms of acne treatment drugs tend to actually make matters worse.Now acne sufferers will tell you: “When using an acne treatment, your acne will get worse first THEN start to get better, just hang in there while the remedy works for your acne…”Well, if you are anything like me, after months, perhaps years of seeking the right acne remedy for treatment of your pimples, the last thing you want is to see the acne increase before a decrease…right? Let’s take a look at some popular Acne treatment drugs and the side effects acne patients have had with them.

Proactiv: (Arguably the most popular acne treatment drug)

-Excessive Drying of the skin.
-Overly irritating (this in itself is all the more increased as the makers of this acne treatment product suggest you wash your face for 1-2 minutes with this!
-The amount of the Benzoyl Peroxide used for this acne remedy is (according to dermatologists and acne treatment websites) debatable. In my opinion, how about not using it at all and going natural eh? It will save the confusion, right?
-The time one has to spend using the cleanser, toner, mask, the ‘Concealer’ (especially for guys…c’mon…)

Other Prescription Topical Acne Treatment Medications:

- Benzoyl peroxide, Adapalene gel (Differin), Clindamycin phosphate (Cleocin T), Azelic acid (Azelex), Tretinoin (Retin-A, Avita), Tetracycline HCL, Most people-like I did friends-develop side effects from using prescription topical acne remedy medications. Common side effects include stinging, burning, redness, peeling, scaling, or discoloration of the skin. Hey, aren’t we trying to get a smoother skin here…?!

What about Prescription Oral Acne Treatment Medications ?

For patients with moderate to severe acne seeking treatment, doctors often prescribe oral antibiotics (taken by mouth) in addition to topical medication. Oral antibiotics are thought to help control acne by curbing the growth of P. acnes and decreasing inflammation. Common antibiotics used to treat acne are tetracycline, minocycline, doxycycline, and erythromycin. Now friends, some people have side effects when taking these antibiotics, such as photosensitivity (higher risk of sunburn), upset stomach, dizziness or lightheadedness, and skin discoloration. In addition, acne patients usually have to take oral antibiotics for as long as 4 to 6 months for an effective acne treatment! 4-6 months…?! Now I don’t know about you, but that is an awfully long time to wait for an acne remedy to work, especially when a natural inexpensive alternative for treatment of your acne could give you the same results in less than 7 to 10 days…really!

External Natural Acne Treatment Methods

-I will boldly say rid yourself of all the medications you are applying topically, especially if they are not working for you. (This applies to internally ingested prescriptions as well.)

In the words of Redfield: "Truth wears no mask, Bows at no Human Shrine, Seeks neither place nor applause, She only asks for a hearing!”, the truth in my opinion about most if not all medicines is that (and this is to give medical science some credit) they may deaden the symptoms of a disease but do not necessarily cure it. To cure human ailments they must, like any other thing, be tackled from its root and cause for optimal success.

-Commence to using only cool water on your face and ensure to rinse as often as you desire, especially before you sleep.

Acne Remedy and Facial Massaging

Wash your hands, especially your fingertips, thoroughly.

Now with your thumbs firmly gripping your jaw-line, proceed to pressing with the free four fingers the upper jaw line working from the center outwards.

Do 2-3 sets pressing firmly.

Now press the areas directly above the jaw line in the same center-going- outwards-direction firmly 2-3 times.

Do this working upwards till you reach the forehead line. See illustrations below:

 

If done correctly you should see little specks of dead skin on your face.

In a feathery motion, pinch at the entire face for as long as you desire (1-2 minutes) using all the free fingers in firm actions grasping the skin.

Now, in a downward-scraping motion using the finger tips, rub the jugular veins located at the sides of the neck (6-8) times, and then massage the outer part of the chest right next to the armpits in a firm circular motion ensuring you breathe deeply as well. According to the Egyptians (and from my own experiences) this simple procedure has a marked effect on alleviating bags and crow's feet from the eyes and directing the flow of toxins away from the face.

Wash your hands with soap and rinse the face with cool water only-gently but firmly.

Wipe dry with a paper towel (or a towel you use only for your face and nothing else. Keep this towel in an exclusive location and wash it every other day).

Guidelines to Remember:

*Never repeat the use of a pillowcase in 2 days, always change them nightly so get 7 clean ones. Be conscious of how they are folded to ensure you sleep on the unexposed side upon unfolding the pillowcases. As much as possible, keep unwashed hands off of your face, if you must touch it, say for example, to scratch an itch, ensure to use the back of your hands.

*Try to sleep on your right side

*Wash your hair with a mild shampoo every night especially if you use greasy hair products, or use a wrap-around nightcap that covers the hair and ensure the cap is washed every morning.

*Here is a simple technique for cleaning the hair without using a lot of water. Get a shampoo from a health food store that has simple ingredients as in all-natural body products, Rub it on your hair till it foams, then wipe it off with a clean moist rag or cloth (used only for that purpose and ensure to hand wash it before each use) or as an alternative, put on a clean night-cap otherwise known as a 'do-rag', but change the pillow case and even then, keep the face as much as possible away from the case (so you can breathe freer while you sleep as well)

*If you can, visit the steam room of a gym 3-4 times a week to induce heavy perspiration or as an alternative, boil water (make sure it is cold water from the tap not warm or hot water so as not to inhale toxic chlorine during the steaming process) or better still, use bottled water. Heat it to a rapid boil then steam your face by immersing it into the pot several inches from the water and let the steam open up the pores (ensure to have a towel draped over your head). Execute this practice for about a few to several minutes or until you sweat. Now rinse off with cool water. It is suggested that you shampoo your hair after steaming the face as you had a towel draped over your head previously. Next, massage the face as was previously described and after the final rinse, you can either wipe it or allow it to air dry.

*For males, if you are of African or Hispanic descent, most barbers recommend you use electric clippers to shave. For Caucasians & Asians, I have observed that using razors might not be a problem although if you prefer, you can use electric clippers also. Ensure that you shave in the direction of the hair's growth (mostly downwards) for an after-shave, it is advised that you perform the facial massaging as well afterwards).

*In addition to alleviating acne symptoms, the facial massaging described here has the added benefit of firming up the skin and adding tone and definition not unlike costly plastic surgeries and face lifts. Consequently, such undesired features as wrinkles, spots, crow's feet, sagging jaws etc are alleviated and beauty is all the more enhanced with the systematic combination of the exercises provided and the proper diet issued within my e-book: Fitness: Inside and Out- A Guide to Improved Health, Vigor and Vitality.

*Another point that I must stress based on personal experiences is that by every means possible, Avoid the use of Microwaves. The source of information on this is given in Chapter 13 of the downloadable e-book.

Internal Acne Treament and a Proper Diet

As a suggested dietetic lifestyle, if you are serious about curing your acne and keeping it off, you must make a change in your diet and eliminate all mucus (acid) forming foods such as processed (junk) foods, fast foods, confectioneries, soft-drinks and eat more wholesome and natural foods like your fresh fruits and leafy vegetables, nuts, root vegetables, fresh juices-basically foods that are mucus (alkaline-forming) binding.
