Acne Homeopathic Medicine
|
In fact, the best homeopathic treatments are prepared at home. Commercially prepared treatments, no matter how natural or homeopathic, are never going to be as fresh as the ones you make yourself. And fresh botanical ingredients are always going to have the best effects. Of course many of us don't have the time or space with which to grow our own lavender and distill the essential oils, but even making your own acne homeopathic medicine from store bought essential oil is going to be more effective than simply purchasing an acne homeopathic medicine preparation. An acne homeopathic medicine doesn't have to be some complicated formula, but a simple regimen that cleanses the skin of bacteria that are responsible for acne breakouts. Whether you suffer from common acne or have bouts of very severe acne, following a simple homeopathic regimen will effect healthy, acne-free skin eventually. The first step to healthy, acne-free skin is cleansing and exfoliation. I mention these two portions together because combining cleansing with exfoliation drastically improves the results. Since acne is caused by bacteria that is caught in oil and trapped under the dead layer of skin cells, exfoliation is important along with cleansing in order to right the situation. A very simple way to accomplish both cleansing and exfoliation is with a natural exfoliating cleanser. Sure, you can purchase commercially prepared so-called homeopathic cleansers, but the truth is most of these contain unnecessary ingredients and will cost a lot more to boot. Try using borax instead. It gently cleanses, while the granular form of the soap particles gently exfoliate as well. Borax is so gentle that those with extremely sensitive skin use it to wash hands and/or face. Simply add just enough water to make the mixture pasty. Basically, the less water you use, the more exfoliation will occur. It you find the mixture to be too grainy, simply add more water. Once you have finished cleansing and exfoliating your face or other affected area with borax and water, thoroughly rinse and dry. In all honesty, this may be all that is needed to alleviate your acne breakouts. You'd be surprised how much of the extra ingredients in commercial acne products actually keep acne coming back. Alcohol overly dries skin, causing even more oil to be produced, which in turn provides bacteria with more places to hide and grow. To add additional acne fighting power to your acne homeopathic medicine regimen, simply use lavender essential oil, either neat (undiluted) or diluted in a very light carrier oil, such as jojoba. Lavender essential oil is safe to use undiluted on even broken skin. It has very powerful anti-bacterial properties, as well as pain relieving properties. Lavender not only keeps bacteria from growing, but drastically improves healing overall. Keep your skin clean with the simplest soap possible, and add lavender when breakouts occur, or all the time, and you will certainly notice fewer breakouts, or an end to acne altogether. The basis of all homeopathy is the concept and truth that the body is perfectly capable of maintaining and healing itself if given simply the most basic components. These are water and adequate rest, along with basic cleansing activities. "What about food?", you may ask. The truth the less food you consume, the better, for overall health. Of course we require some food energy to be healthy, but we don't to consume nearly as much as many of us think. The more food you eat, the more water you should drink in order to help the body process the food. Along with adequate rest, drinking an adequate amount of water is one of the most effective things you can do to improve your skin's health and appearance. Water helps the body remove wastes on a cellular level. Obviously, when cells are able to remove their own waste, the entire body is much cleaner and healthier. In fact, the skin is said to be a good measure of overall health. Don't underestimate the power of a good night's sleep. Only during the deepest sleep does the body produce growth hormones that are solely responsible for extreme healing events. When we get enough sleep, more of these natural beneficial tissue building chemicals are produced. To start your own acne homeopathic medicine regimen, let's keep things as simple as possible. Begin by only cleansing and exfoliating your skin with borax soap. Do this once or twice every day. You may find that this is all that is needed to maintain a fresh and blemish-free complexion. See what this regimen does for you before adding essential oils. For those that have tried all kinds of commercial acne medicines, it may be very hard to believe that something so simple could work when nothing else has. The truth is that commercial preparations contain all sorts of unnecessary ingredients that actually make it harder for your body to heal itself. Not only are homeopathic acne remedies much more effective and natural, they are much more affordable. Did you know that you can purchase enough borax for more than a year's worth of cleansing for only a few dollars? It's true, this stuff can be found anywhere and is generally found in the laundry section, as it is sold as a natural laundry detergent booster. Just start simply and only add other portions to your regimen once you see how the first round goes for a couple of weeks. As with all areas of natural medicine, les is usually better, as the body is perfectly capable of healing itself.
