Do you think homeopathy can cure acne?

Almost everyone has suffered from acne at one time or another in his or her lives. It is primarily a disorder of the sebaceous gland (glands in the skin that secrete an oily substance) of the face, the neck and back. When the sebaceous glands become clogged with the oily substance they create, the accumulation results in pimples. There are several forms of acne, but the most common is acne vulgaris, found primarily in adolescents.





The exact cause of acne is not known, but factors that contribute to this condition include heredity, oily skin and androgens. Additional factors include allergies, stress, the use of certain drugs, nutritional deficiencies, liver dysfunction, exposure to industrial pollutants, cosmetics and the monthly menstrual cycle.





In addition, the skin functions to eliminate a portion of the body's toxic waste by sweating. If the body contains more toxins than the kidneys or liver can effectively discharge, the skin takes over. In fact, some doctors call the skin the 3rd kidney. As toxins escape through the skin, they can disrupt the health and integrity of the skin, creating issues.





Recommendations for Wellness





Note: Some of these recommendations may take 2-4 weeks before any results or improvements are experienced.





Apply distilled white vinegar (can be diluted if too strong) to the face and affected areas. Allow this to sit for 5-10 minutes before rinsing off with cool water.





Lemon or any citric fruit works great as a natural exfoliate, removing dead skin cells that may clog the pours. As with the white vinegar, apply the juice of a lemon (or desired citric juice) to the face. Allow it to dry for about 10 minutes, then rinse with cool water. You may feel a mild sting or burn when the lemon juice is applied. If so, diluting the juice is acceptable.





Increase water consumption. Water helps flush toxin out and help transport nutrients in the body.





Eat a properly balanced diet to ensure proper nutrition.





Take a high quality multiple vitamin and mineral supplement to make up for nutrients missing in today's foods.





Echinacea or Oregon grape can be used to boost the immune system and fight acne-causing bacteria.





Dandelion, Burdock or red clover can help to keep the liver clear of toxic overload.





Herbal combinations such as Natures Sunshine's Ayurvedic Skin Detox and BP-X can also be used to cleanse and detoxify the liver and reduce acne.





Historically, large quantities of vitamin A have been successfully used to treat severe acne. Large amounts, however, can be toxic and should be used when working with your health care provider.





Consider adding additional zinc to your diet. Zinc aids in the healing of tissues and assists in preventing scarring. It is also important for the body in resisting infection and inflammation.





To clear and heal the skin, try a homeopathic Acne remedy. It can help to dry up pimples %26amp; prevent future outbreaks





http://withoutacne.com/Do you think homeopathy can cure acne?
yes..in my case i was told to use cell salts for this purpose...tablets placed under tongue a couple times a day. Worked great!!Do you think homeopathy can cure acne?
Yes possibly. my mother used to have really bad skin when she was a teenager and what she did was she drank a glass of bitter melon juice for a few months and her acne when away.
yes but u probably need 2 see a professional homepath. but make sure he/she is a good doctor (seeing a good homepathic dr can make all the difference). becos homepathy has 2 be diagnosed for an exact remedy, there are probably lots of remedies for acne but the dr takes alot of other things into consideration before making a diagnosis.





I also thought you might be interested in this site; just type in acne in search bar for infor %26amp; advice.





I also read in my local health shop (which is very good)of this ayurvedic product called ';Tejaswini'; for acne %26amp; problmatic skin. it's been voted by their customers as besttseeling, the customers say it's an unbeleivable product, it's supposed 2 be very good.


you can buy it from Victoria health (see link)
no but proactive can
Interesting that only one of these responses actually had something to do with homeopathy...the research simply isn't there for validation, but I'd say that there is a response rate of about 35-40%.


Homeopathy is going to take time to work; you might be better off using topical meds while the remedy starts to kick in.
