It's a subject no one enjoys talking about or dealing with. You've tried countless remedies to try and get rid of it: washing your face everyday, changing your diet, trying various medications such as Accutane, Proactiv, etc., the list goes on and on. Yet you still end up struggling with pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, blemishes, and zits. Recently, certain medications have been recalled by the FDA due to dangerous, life-changing side effects, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), that can show up years later just from minimal use. Now it becomes a battle with both your pimples and what you put into your body.
The use of herbs as remedies to treat ailments and diseases dates back to many, many thousands of years ago. Herbs are used today even with all of the advancements in modern medicine. Why, you ask? Because herbal remedies still have many advantages as an alternative medicine source. If a remedy is available that's effective, cost significantly less than a pharmaceutical drug, and was noted as being safer, it's probably the clear choice for most people.
So, you're probably thinking, do herbal acne remedies exist? The answer is yes. Chamomile, mint leaves, lemons, limes, garlic, cloves, ginseng, yellow dock, burdock, dandelion root, sarsaparilla, and red clover all have properties that can help relieve, treat, and prevent new blemishes. Peppermint, barbes skullcap, purslane, and stellaria root are also good herbs for acne. Depending on the particular remedy, it can be applied directly to your face or consumed as a drink or food.
Safe, effective, and costing far less than pharmaceutical drugs and other medicines, using an herbal acne treatment could be the right choice for you. Fighting pimples, blackheads, zits, and other blemishes is a constant battle that always keeps you on guard. There are plenty of options available including medicines and medical procedures.
