The herbal acne treatments that you are planning to try will it really work? Learn the actual truth behind herbal acne remedies that I found through my seven long arduous years of research; truth that no dermatologist, herbal expert or naturopath will ever tell you.
Let us first get introduced to herbs
Herbs have been used over the years for various medicinal purposes from acnes, to rejuvenating birth, energy, spirituality, the list is endless. Herbal treatments are well known for their gradual and gentle ways and no side-effects.
Herbs are powerhouses packed with nutrients that we don't always get from the food we eat. Herbs help our body to regain the balance temporarily and help the system to heal itself. Herbs not only help in treating the symptoms of a disease like the acnes but they also deal with the root cause.
Over my seven long years of research I have tested various different herbs with various levels of potency and with different individuals suffering from different kinds of acne of varying levels of severity. And the conclusion that I have drawn from my research is: herbal acne treatments really work. However, there' a short coming; herbal treatments only work short term and they need other protocols to help them.
How do herbal acne treatments work?
All herbs do not work or behave in similar fashion. In fact herbs work and function differently with different individuals. Herbs are filled with nutrients and these help the body to regulate and nourish and heal itself. And herbs unlike the conventional acne treatments do not only address the symptoms but address the root cause of the problem itself. And for this very reason they work in a slow and gradual process.
Herbs don't work individually rather the herbs work collectively i.e. each herb contributing in taking care of one factor that's causing the problem. When taken with the right food items like fresh fruits and vegetables herbs work more effectively.
Like any other herbal treatment, herbal acne treatments also lead to a temporary healing crisis where the acne condition worsens before getting better. The intensive stimulation of the body triggered by herbs leads to the expulsion of lots of toxins in the blood stream which aggravates the acne condition for the time being. But this is in fact effective as it helps in restoring the body to the homeostasis phase and pushes the body to heal itself faster.
When taken in the form of blend or tincture herbal acne treatments prove really effective. They purify the blood of toxic build ups, help restore hormonal balance and enhance live functions and help it in expelling excess hormones and toxics out of the body. They also help in fighting Candida and various fungal infections that afflict the eliminations organs and worsen acnes condition.
The only problem being herbal acne treatments only work for a short time.
Why don't herbal treatments have a permanent effect?
Herbs do help the body in healing and rejuvenating itself by breaking up toxins and helping in the cleansing process but herbs can never completely and permanently cure your acnes.
Two reasons why this is so:
1. In order to permanently cure your acnes, in addition to cleansing processes, optimizing the lifestyle, achieving hormonal balance, the elimination organs of the body also need to be strengthened and though the herbs do help in the process they can never replace them.
Example: If you are suffering from toxic build up in your blood like most acne sufferers herbs that help in cleansing the blood however potent they may be they can never be a substitute for blood and liver cleansing processes. In the same way that a mechanical issue in your car can't simply be fixed by just a change in the oil or the fuel.
2. There are some herbs like the Echinacea that helps in reducing inflammation and the aloe vera that has splendid astringent qualities and antibacterial properties that can be in fact continued to be taken for a long time. But most herbs should not be taken regularly. Most herbs like the dandelion work in cycles, i.e. they boost up a certain organ for some time and encourage it too work in high gear and then after some time the herbs stop working, that's their nature.
Another reason being the healing crisis that the herbs create in the body induces the body to harder to regulate itself and that in a way neutralizes the potency levels of the herbs.
Herbal acne treatments work in tandem with other protocols to cure acnes
There are various herbs that help in reducing symptoms. Some herbs can be used as effecting cleansing elements. Some boost up the functioning of various organs. Some help fight fungal infections, some help build up the hormonal balance, some strengthen the liver and help in purifying the blood. And all these together help in positively taking care of acne condition.
But this over stimulation of your liver in expelling the toxics eventually tires the liver and the positive effect caused by the herbs is gradually over.
It is better in fact to strengthen the liver beforehand so that even the temporary effect of the herbs reduces the liver still continues to expel the toxins from the body like before.
Also since this hormonal imbalance and the toxic build up in the body is caused by carious internal and external factors and as these cleansing process are very complex the herbs require the help of various protocols other than the strengthening the liver in order to successfully cure the acnes.
Conclusion: An acne treatment to work effectively needs herbs to work in tandem with other hormone balancing and cleansing protocols. Also it needs to be kept in mind that herbs work in cycles, like taking them 2-3 weeks regularly then discontinuing them for the next 2-3 weeks.
