If you DO NOT suffer from some type of acne, chances are that you know someone WHO DOES. Millions of us have, or have had, one form or another of acne. Be it the common teenage variety that most of us have had to deal with at some point in our lives to the rarer forms of adult acne, we all know the aggravating, humiliating and even emotionally depressing toll that acne can take from us. What is worse, a lot of acne remedies on the market today don’t even treat the root causes of most common acne types. If you are tired of medications and drugs that don’t work and are looking for natural acne remedies that have been proven effective then rest assured that there is a holistic system designed to provide permanent relief of your acne problem.

Treating the underlying causes of acne, not just the symptoms, is crucial to eliminating acne and achieving clear skin. Of course, achieving the internal balance necessary in remedying acne is in large part a function of our diet and nutrition. The misconception that diet has no affect on acne is based on conclusions drawn from flawed studies that were performed over 30 years ago and have since been debunked by more recent clinical trials and research studies. The myth that what you put in your mouth (and thus your body) does not affect your skin complexion is nonsense. The food you eat is now thought to be one of the leading factors which affects the process of eliminating toxins from your body that can cause and aggravate your acne. Some examples of foods that can trigger and inflame acne are: milk, sugar, and hydrogenated oils (trans fat). Some beneficial foods are: leafy greens, nuts, and essential fatty acids (fish oils – omega3).

Around puberty time, it’s not uncommon for an adolescent’s oil-secreting glands to kick into overdrive. The results are blackheads and pimples on the skin in varying degrees. They usually show up on the face, but can also show up on the back and shoulders. Acne and pimples are a part of growing up and we have all gone through that stage. Nothing worse than having breakout days before the senior prom! At one stage, it was once thought that acne resulted from eating the wrong types of foods such as chocolates and french fries, which happens to be a teenager’s favorite food. Today we know that acne, along with oil gland secretions, has more to do with heredity and stress and not food.

There are many natural acne remedies being offered on the market today as alternatives to conventional acne treatments. Do these herbal products work?

The manufacturers claim they do. There are plenty of satisfied customers that say they do. The problem with herbal acne remedies lies not in the lack of testimonials but in the lack of scientific proof to back those testimonials.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) governs pharmaceutical products but there is no such agency to validate the health related claims of herbal products so, you must rely on your own judgement.
