\r\n \r\n Homeopathy and Acne
\n
\nThis medical system uses infinitesimal doses of natural substances to stimulate
\na person\'s immune system and body\'s natural defenses. Homeopathic remedies are
\nnamed for the plant or animal ingredients they are made from. Homeopathy not
\nonly offers relief from temporary disorders but, can provide long term healing
\nof a person due to its individual and "wholistic" approach. This often leads to
\na complete recovery from the dis-ease, as well as, providing an improved
\nunderstanding of the patient\'s situation. This type of healing makes it easier
\nand possible to avoid recurrence or relapses in the future and homeopathy
\nstimulates the body\'s natural defense system by reestablishing normal immune
\nsystem and cell functioning.
\n
\nAcne:
\n
\nArnica This is a valuable first-aid remedy to help reduce pain and swelling and
\nprevent the onset of shock after any injury. Another remedy that is more
\nspecific to the burn should be considered after Arnica.
\n
\nBerberis Aquifolium or Oregon Grape, is a remedy for the skin, stimulates all
\nglands and improves nutrition. For acne it can be used topically as an ointment
\nor internally (3x potency) for blotches and pimples. It clears the complexion
\nand helps to relieve scarring.
\n
\nPulsatilla can be helpful if acne is worse from eating rich or fatty foods, and
\naggravated by warmth or heat. It is indicated especially around the time of
\npuberty, or when acne breaks out near menstrual periods. The person often has a
\nfair complexion and is inclined toward soft emotions and moodiness, feeling
\nworse in warm or stuffy rooms and better in fresh air.
\n
\nSilicea can help a person with deep-seated acne along with a general low immune
\nresistance, swollen lymph nodes, and a tendency toward fatigue and nervousness
\nmay benefit from this remedy. Infected spots are slow to come to a head, and
\nalso slow to resolve, so may result in scarring. A person who needs this remedy
\nis generally very chilly, but inclined to sweat at night.
\n
\nSulphur can help with itching, sore, inflamed eruptions with reddish or
\ndirty-looking skin often indicate a need for Sulphur. Itching may be worse from
\nscratching, and worse from any form of heat, especially bathing or washing.
\nIndividuals who need this remedy are often inclined toward convoluted mental
\nnotions and tend to give order and neatness a low priority.

\nManaging Your Acne
\n
\n
\n*All cosmetics should be water based, do not use oil-based products.
\n
\n*Blackheads should be removed only with a specially designed instrument.
\n
\n*Picking or scratching may cause scarring.
\n
\n*Shampoo hair frequently with plain soap.
\n
\n*Keep hands clean and avoid touching the face.
\n
\n*Keep the affected area as free from oil as possible.
\n
\n*Long-term treatment with Tetracycline and other antibiotics should be avoided.
\n
\n*Natural hormonal changes for both men and women are some of the primary causes
\nof acne. Changes usually begin at puberty and end in early adulthood. Increased
\ntestosterone, which males experience at the beginning of puberty causes the
\nsebaceous (oil) glands to enlarge and produce increased amounts of sebum (oil
\nand waxes), which pass through the hair follicles to the skin. When the pores
\nclog, acne occurs. Women, however, often get a mild case of acne beginning a
\nweek before their menstrual period begins, even in adulthood. Birth control
\npills can also cause acne.
\n
\nConsider the following regime:
\n
\nFor those over 18, start with a cleansing diet to help your system detoxify.
\nImpurities that cannot be eliminated through the kidneys and bowels fast enough
\nmay erupt through the skin. Make sure you eat a low-fat, high-fiber diet.
\n
\nClean your skin twice daily, morning and evening. This will keep the pores open
\nand your skin free of bacteria. Discourage new blemishes by using tea tree oil,
\na natural antiseptic.
\n
\nAllergic reactions to particular foods, cosmetics, or other products applied to
\nyour face, such as sunscreens can all play into your acne. Do the eliminate
\ndiet. Your doctor may want to test for allergies, and a blood test is more
\neffective than a skin scratch test.
\n
\nBegin taking supplements that promote healthy skin.
