Homeopathy Acne
ACNE
Acne, perhaps the most common health condition, can affect people
for their entire life. A skin disorder, it affects eight out
of every ten teenagers. Acne happens when the sebaceous
glands or oil secreting glands in the skin of the face, chest and
back become over sensitive to normal levels of androgen.
Adults can also experience acne. Though it often clears up
after several years, even without treatment, it may leave
scars. Various types of acne are: Pimples (blackheads,
whiteheads); Papules, Pustules, Nodules and Cysts.
Acne may occur for many reasons.
• Poor hygiene may cause dirt and grease to accumulate and block
skin pores.
• Hormonal changes can cause teenagers and young adults to be more
prone to acne.
• Dandruff can fall on the face and back and cause acne.
• Hair follicles may not get rid of dead cells fast enough and clog
the pores.
• The sebaceous gland may produce too much, providing a breeding
ground for bacteria and causing acne.
• Stress can affect hormone levels and account for some adult
acne.
• Occupational exposure to chemicals, grease, oil and toxins.
Often embarrassed by their appearance, patients with acne may
have a lower self esteem and experience depression and
anxiety. Consumption of excessive oily foods, sweets,
chocolate, improper diet and food habits, over exposure to the sun,
smoking, lack of exercise, constipation, drugs, alcohol, cosmetics
and insufficient rest may all aggravate the condition.
HOMEOPATHY ACNE
Patients suffering from acne are offered a natural, effective
remedy through homeopathy acne remedies. They will notice a
drying up of the affected areas and a reduction in the number of
existing acne. The symptoms of pain, burning and itching, are
reduced and often disappear after using homeopathy acne
remedies. Many times the skin texture will also improve.
The homeopathy acne remedy is approached in a different way than
conventional medicines. It is treated holistically from
within the body, and not superficially, by using ointments and
creams since the outer skin eruption is a reflection of the
internal disorder of the body. The symptoms are a direct
manifestation of the body’s attempt to heal itself and the
homeopathy acne remedy acts as a trigger to stimulate the body’s
own healing forces.
When taking a homeopathy acne remedy, the following procedures are
recommended to enhance the results:
• Avoid sugar, white flour products, soft drinks, refined foods,
chocolate, cheese, meat, butter and iodized salt.
• Avoid wearing heavy makeup which may clog pores and cause
acne.
• Avoid picking at the affected areas. This increases the
chance of spreading bacteria and scarring.
• Exercise on a regular basis to manage your stress. Regular
exercise is important for overall health and can flush impurities
from the skin through perspiration.
• Minimize oiliness with an astringent, such as witch hazel.
Apply to a cotton ball and gently wipe skin.
• Try supplements and herbs that support healthy skin.
