Acne Cure and Treatment Using Natural Remedies 

Eighty percent of teenagers suffer from this infection and adults also on occasion suffer from acne. There are many causes for acne. Acne occurs when facial or body pores become blocked and then become infected with excess sebum oil, bacteria or other contaminates such as skin cells or dirt.

Perhaps the one of the main factors in acne infections is an imbalance of hormones.  When this occurs excess sebum oil is produced, which hardens and plugs up the pore.  The blocked pore then ends up serving as pool where bacteria can multiple and expand.  The deeper the infected pore grows the more chance of cysts and scars to form.

Most of the time, Dermatologists prescribe antibiotics as an acne treatment to keep the bacteria in the pores in check. Continual use and even a one time use of antibiotics create an imbalance of good and bad bacteria in the stomach and colon. This imbalance gives more power to the bacteria Candida. Once off the antibiotics, Candida can overcome the good bacteria and fuel the acne condition on your face. This puts you into a vicious cycle in trying to get rid of your acne. As a side effect, your digestion is affected and colon function is decreased.

Use of antibiotics for acne is not recommended because of the side effects.

Using a more natural approach for treating and curing acne, would involve natural hormone balancing, detoxification, stress reduction, dietary changes, supplementation, and natural techniques using facial medications.

First, the hormone that is active in acne is DHT or dihydrotestosterone, which is formed when the chemical enzyme 5-alpha combines with testosterone. In addition, other body hormones gets out of balance, this happens during adolescence, during pregnancy, during menopause, or under high stress. Combine this with poor nutrition and the hormone imbalance has a more difficult time becoming balanced.

For complete information on acne diet, check out my acne e-book called, “How to Clear Your Acne by Enhancing Your Fighting Power.”

This e-book covers how to eliminate acne using natural remedies and is a complete book on how to deal with hormones, diet, facial medicated techniques, and natural remedies.

Here are some of the causes of acne. Look at this list and make changes in these conditions if possible. Some of the remedies listed here will help and guide you to make these changes. Hormonal changes or imbalances, stress and anxiety, poor food digestion, colon toxicity, poor diet and nutrition, allergies to specific foods, genetics, excess of bad bacterial in the stomach and colon.

Here is a list of natural remedies and nutrients to use as acne treatment and cure:

1. Start eliminating junk food from your diet and start moving toward eating more fruits and vegetables. Eat less food made from white flour and fried foods.
   
   
2. Do a three day juice and vegetable fast to cleanse the colon. My e-book describes how to do this.
   
   
3. Vitex Standardized extract– for women and men use 160 mg daily. Vitex, an herb, helps to balance hormones by stimulating the pituitary gland to signal other organs to excrete the deficient hormones.
   
   
4. Saw Palmetto standardized – use 160 mg. Good for both men and women, since it blocks the excess production of DHT, which affects the production of excess sebum.
   
   
5. Flax seed oil or fish oil – use a combination of these oils. Flax seed oil can be used on your salads. Fish oil is taken in capsules. If you only take one of these oils make it fish oil, since it requires less processing in your body. These oils fight inflammation and pain.
   
   
6. Zinc, Copper, and Vitamin A - Using zinc is essential in your fight against acne. Use 50 mg twice a day and copper 5 mg once per day. Zinc and copper helps to reduce the DHT build-up in the pores and helps skin healing. Use 8,000 to 10,000 or higher of IU of Vitamin A. This vitamin is required for good skin health.
   
   
7. Multi-Vitamin-Mineral Complex – you will benefit from taking a good absorbable multi complex. You need vitamin E, Selenium, chromium, and the B-vitamins.
   
   
8. Oregano oil – use 500 mg twice a day. Oregano is anti-bacterial oil that will help kill Candida and other bacteria.
