Nutritional-Herbal Therapy For Acne |
|
Nutritional and herbal therapy for acne has its roots
in China. In Chinese terminology, acne is related to hormonal imbalance,
which can occur at any time, throughout your life.
According to
this therapy, the lungs control the skin and acne is caused due to the
heat in the lungs. This process works towards cooling the heat,
cleansing the lungs and simultaneously working externally on the healing
process. There are certain recommendations in terms of things that you
should eat. These are: watermelons, cucumber, squash, carrots, cabbage,
celery, winter melon, beet tops, mulberry leaves, dandelions, aloe vera
and lots of fresh fruits. Along with these recommendations, there are
also some selected remedies which could be of great help:
1) Apply low fat, plain organic yogurt on the effected area. Wash after

3) Blend a cucumber, apply for 20 minutes then wash off.
4) Rub watermelon rind on the affected area.
