Acne is a medical condition which is caused by the over production of sebum. When this
happens, the pores are blocked and hard plugs are formed. This blocking eventually causes the acne to manifest itself. Other causes might include hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, menstrual periods, emotional stress, and various others.
Skin Issues
Treating the acne problem can pose as a challenge because of its reoccurring possibilities. However some say that the use of certain herbs for better control will eradicate the acne condition.
The following are just some common suggestions of herbs used to treat acne in varying degrees.
Tea tree oil - this treatment is known to cause less drying and stinging after effects. Also the redness is at a minimal.
Aloe gel - has antibacterial properties which will help to kill off the germs or perhaps stop them from contaminating other parts of the skin
Rose water - if applied correctly will give relief to the itching and pain
Walnut leaf - can be used as an astringent face wash.
Burdock root and dandelion - both of these herbs contain insulin which could possibly improve the skin condition and remove bacteria.
Goldenseal - helps to stop the acne from secreting any puss or other unwanted liquids.
Calendula - helps the healing of the tissues at a more increased pace. It may also help to heal the scars left to some level of smoothness. It is widely recommended that the acne problem be treated internally as well as externally. Both these options are intertwined and treating one without the other may not result in the desired results. When the desired results are forthcoming, the problems may end up becoming worse because now that the added factor of depression and stress is added.
Acne reacts to a combination of herbs used both for internal and external use. This combination is beneficial to achieving long lasting results. Essentially the herbs used for topical purposes should include tea tree oil, lavender, and calendula, if used internally should be milk thistle and dandelion.
