5 Natural Herbal Remedies to Clear Up Your Acne

So your having a tough time fighting your acne whether it be on your face, neck, chest, back or any other place with store bought creams and ointments. They all claim to work but the facts are that they may clog your pores just like facial make ups do and will not cleanse your pores of toxins and impurities as they say. Here are 8 proven ways of treating your acne without buying the creams and ointments that claim to help but do not really.

1. Basil can be picked up at your local grocery store in powders and leaves. This substance has been proven to kill bacteria on the skins surface. To use Basil as an acne cure place the leaves of the Basil plant on the skins surface directly and compress. This can keep the skin from forming blackheads and whiteheads. Also you can boil the leaves in water for 5 to 10 minutes to extract the healing oils from the leaves. Once you have the oils drained out of the leaves dip a wash cloth into the oils and place on the infected areas of the skin.

2. Garlic can be taken 2 to 3 times a day in which will cleanse the skin of toxins and impurities. Also rubbing raw garlic onto the infected area can resolve acne.

3. Calendula is a great herbal treatment for the skin. This plant is also known as Marigold but is not actually the true Marigold. To use wash your face with teas made from the flower or digest Calendula orally.

4. Yellow Dock is an herb that purifies the blood stream. It contains a compound called anthraquinone glycosides that stimulates the bile production in the blood and cleanses the liver. Scientists have proven if taken over long periods of time that Yellow Dock can cure improve acne for a lifetime. If you have had any problems with kidney stones though do not take Yellow Dock as they will worsen.

5. Dandelion is a leading remedy to detox the liver. It helps digest the fats and flow of bile to the liver. With a cleansed liver this can also reveal cleansed skin. Take dandelion for 4-6 weeks to cleanse the liver completely and reveal your new cleansed acne free skin.
