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.
Herbal acne treatments: Let us first get introduced to the herbs
Herbs have been used for various purposes all over the years. Not only for curing acnes but they have been used to promote love, spirituality, birth, energy. Herbal medicines are most popular because of their gentle qualities and no side effects.
Herbs are powerhouses packed with nutrients. Herbs have the ability to replenish your body with the required nutrients that help the system to heal itself gradually. Herbs address not only the symptoms of a problem but the underlying root cause itself.
In my seven years of research I have tested various herbal treatments with varying levels of potency with various individuals with varying types of acnes and severity and the conclusion that I have drawn is: if chosen and taken correctly herbal treatments work! Herbal treatments can actually help the body in getting rid of acnes but the effect is temporary and it needs to be accompanied with some other protocols that take care of the other factors that cause acne.
How do herbal acne treatments work?
All herbs are not alike, neither do they work the same or at the same pace with different individuals. Herbs are full of nutrients that help in the production of hormones, and in nourishing toning, regulating and healing the body. And herbs work in tandem with the body they address the root cause of the problem unlike conventional treatments that only treat the symptoms. Herbs work gradually and at a slow pace.
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.
Herbal acne treatment like with any other natural cure lead to a temporary crisis i.e. the situation worsens before becoming better. Herbs stimulate the body towards a intensive detoxification and that leads the liver to discharge a lot of toxins in the blood stream which aggravates the situation for a while. But this is proves effective as it helps the body to restore to its natural tendency of healing itself and return to the state of homeostasis and work really hard to heal itself.
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 drawback herbal treatments only give a temporary respite.
Why don`t herbal treatments have a permanent effect?
Though herbs help the body to detoxify it itself and help in nourishing and healing as well, yet no herbs however potent they are, can ever permanently cure your acne.
Two reasons why this is so:
1. To permanently and completely cure your acnes you need to optimize your lifestyle and help your hormones reach the right balance, you also need have your elimination organs in good health. Herbs though definitely help in this process but they can never be a substitute.
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. Though some like Echinacea (helps in reducing inflammation and helps in the healing process) and aloe vera (loaded with astringent and anti-bacterial qualities) can be continued for a long time span most herbs should not be continued for long. The reason being; most herbs like dandelion boost up a organ to function in top gear for some time, which itself can be dangerous on a long time span, but then it stops working. That`s the nature of herbs.
There`s another reason why herbs work only short time is due to the crisis on the healing system, your body is pushed to work harder to cleanse and regulate itself, thus in a way the potency of the herbs is neutralized over time.
Herbal treatments need to work in tandem with other protocols to succeed
They are many herbs that can help in reducing acne symptoms. Some herbs are effective in cleaning your system. There are many herbs that help balance the hormonal activity. Some help in killing fungal infections and parasites. Some can strengthen your liver and purify your blood. All of this helps in a positive way for your 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.
A better way is to make the liver so strong that even after the temporary boost up of the herbs has diminished the liver is still able o continue expelling toxins.
Also, since toxic build up and hormonal imbalance is caused by various internal and external factors, and the cleansing process being very complex it requires other protocols too other than a strong liver to succeed.
Conclusion: A herbal acne treatment to work effectively needs to be accompanied with various other protocols and also it needs to be kept in mind that herbs need to be taken in cycles such as 2-3 weeks on and then again the same number of weeks off.
