Every ailment, illness or disease has a remedy associated with it, or a remedy being developed to cure it.
Acne is no different.
Everyone is unique and so the reasons people get acne vary from one person to another.
There are many different things people do to heal acne.
Some are based on prescriptions, some based on old wives tales, and some based on natural remedies.
These days there is a big debate between the natural methods and the now traditional practices.
One thing to keep in mind is that the natural remedies have been around for centuries, they typically come from plants, herbs and other natural sources.
While I believe our current medical practices have their place and are very appropriate under certain circumstances, I also believe for some aliments the natural remedies are the best.
It is also worth considering that the pharmaceutical products often carry side effects with them, and no one really wants the side effects.
Sometimes the side effect can be worse than the ailment it is trying to cure.
If you can be open to consider the natural approach then you will be happy to learn that there are certain herbs which can give you back clear skin.
In some cases they can even completely eliminate your acne.
Some herbs have been part of health treatments for thousands of years, not only for acne, but also for other health related issues.
It is interesting that something as simple as a herb can treat an ailment, while pharmaceutical companies spend millions of dollars coming up with a product with ingredients we cannot pronounce, and which has nothing natural in it at all.
So if you are experiencing any issues with acne, here are four herbs for you to consider using.
These herbs will help your body balance itself and provide you improved health: Lavender - As well as being a great smelling herb, it also helps to reduce inflammation and has some antiseptic properties which can go a long way in helping you with your acne.
If you love the smell of lavender, you should try using this on your problem skin as well.
Sandalwood - The bark of the Sandalwood tree is where this herb can be found.
There are many people who consider it to be a great aromatherapy remedy.
When you spread the sandalwood on your skin, you will be helping heal the skin as well as giving it a healthy glow.
Tea Tree Oil - Probably the best known natural remedy used for acne.
It works exceptionally well because of its antibacterial properties.
One thing to keep in mind is to dilute it before applying it directly to the skin.
Basil - While it has been used for a number of different reasons the most important is that it can kill the bacteria which may be the root cause of your acne.
It also helps clean the blood that may carry these bacteria.
Basil in the form of tea has been used for many years in order to heal such issues.
It is also worth noting that the soil where basil grows becomes pure enough to be used in healing baths.
So there you have four of the better herbs to consider using in your battle with acne.
There are also other herbs as well, such as: Aloe Gel, Burdock Root, Calendula, Dandelion, Echinacea, Golden Seal, Milk Thistle, Rosewater, Walnut Leaf, and Witch Hazel.
Also consider that your body developed acne for a reason.
Your body is trying to tell you that something is out of whack.
The use of these herbs will help, but you may want to look into what else is going on inside your body or in your life to better understand why you got the acne in the first place.
