Homeopathy Remedies for Acne

Many teenagers--and even some adults--have problems with acne. In some cases the acne blemishes are extreme, and in other cases fairly mild. No one likes having acne. There are lots of products on the market to help control acne, but they're full of chemicals--which can create other problems. Use all-natural homeopathic remedies to clear up your acne.

  1. Tea Tree Oil

    • Do not be misled by the word "oil." Tea tree oil won't add to the problem if you have acne. It is a natural antiseptic, and gentle on the skin, unlike many store-bought products. It helps to eliminate your acne more quickly. Wash your face well using plain old warm water. Apply a drop of the tea tree oil directly on each blemish. You can find tea tree oil in your local health food store.

    Diet

    • Eat a natural, preservative-free diet to help eliminate some of the problems with your acne. Bland foods help to decrease the amount of acne all over your body. Include such foods in your diet as oatmeal, apples, and rice. If you have a tendency to eat a lot of spicy foods, you may want to eliminate them from your diet for a few weeks or months to see if there is a difference in your acne. Other foods to stay away from include sugar, chocolate, and wheat. Check with your doctor about doing a 3-week detoxification diet to help eliminate toxins in your body, which may be causing some of your acne.

    Almond Paste Mask

    • Make a homemade paste from almond flour and goat's milk to use as a cleansing mask. Mix one teaspoon of the almond powder with 1 cup of goat's milk and mix thoroughly. Spread it all over your face and let it sit for a few minutes before washing it off with plain, warm water. You can either buy almond powder from the health food store or you can grind up almonds yourself in a coffee grinder.

    Herbal Therapy

    • Find capsules of black currant seed oil or evening primrose oil. Both of these help to eliminate acne equally well, but the black currant oil is a little less expensive. You can purchase these at health food stores, and adults can take up to 1,500 milligrams per day. Take the pills every day for three months for best results.
