Acne and Homeopathy Part 1

Because acne is a sign that there is inflammation in the body, constitutional homeopathic care is essential.  Constitutional care will raise your general level of health and decrease the overall inflammation in your body.  This will take time.  Here are some things to consider while receiving homeopathic care:

Have you cleaned up your diet?

  • Less and less sugar, less and less processed food of all kinds (that means if it comes in a box or a bag or a can, stop eating/drinking it) and looking at possible food reactions can make a big big difference for your skin. Whole foods will provide the repair nutrients needed for healing your acne

Have you visited an aesthetician?

  • Aestheticians are trained to clean up your skin: extracting blackheads and white heads and safely exfoliating your skin. And they will recommend products for your skin type.

Have you tried Vitamin C Serum?

  • Vitamin C serum (try Avalon or Jason’s Vitamin C Serum) can improve skin texture, skin flora and skin coloring. Always test a small spot first.

  • You can also make your own Vitamin C serum. Here is the recipe:

  1. Dissolve approx ¼ tsp of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid)

  2. In 1 tsp of distilled water in a dark glass container

  3. Add 1 tsp glycerine
