Herbal Pimple Remedies

Herbal pimple home cures can be a working adjunct to whatever other treatments are being employed. It is essential to understand that they are not hard to do & are fast 'remedies' in the complete sense, but will instead support the body's capacity to metabolise fats & sugars, and encourage excretion through the lymphatic system.

The class of herbs known as alterative herbs are conceptualized traditionally as cleanser of the body's tissues. They are believed of as detoxifying herbs, but they do not work in any obvious way on the body's excretion channels - the lungs, kidneys, or colon. As such, they do not easily fit into a Western model of understanding the body. However, they do have a long tradition of use, & are certainly worth trying as an pimple household remedy. Because they work on the internal condition of the body, they are not going to replace any of the topical, over the counter acne treatments. But they may provide benefit in an indirect way that these pimple products don't.

Alterative herbaceous plants tend to be quite gentle in their effect, so they are best used as a long-term treatment. Results won't be sudden, but it will improve the health of the body overall. They tend to be given for chronic inflammatory problems, especially relating to the skin, such as pimples.

These herbs include burdock, cleavers, red clover, figwort, poke root, echinacea, and blue flag. A great combination is blue flag, burdock, yellow dock, & echinacea. They can be mixed together and infused w/ hot water to make tea. Drink a cup of 3 times a day to take effect. Put a little honey in it to make it taste better.

Another possible combination is burdock, dandelion, & sarsaparilla. Mix these together when they are dry herbs, & make a tea in the same way. They can be used separately as well.

There are a number of options for topical pimples home remedies as well. Tea tree oil (based on personal experience, any products with tea tree oil is really effective... soaps, cleansers, etc.) can be applied directly to break-outs, though for those w/ sensitive skin this may need to be diluted. Fresh cabbage juice can also be applied direct to pimples blemishes, & this may be a better option for those w/ sensitive skin.

An anti-inflammatory skin rinse can be made from calendula and chamomile. Make a tea as above, then let it cool & keep it in the fridge. Spray or pat this onto the affected areas on a regular basis.

Another combination for an pimple household cure skin wash is yarrow, elder flowers, and lavender.

Colloidal minerals such as potassium phosphate and magnesium phosphate can help support the skin. Zinc is excellent to help prevent scarring, as well as fortifying the immune system, & help supports the normal functioning of hormones.

Vitamin C is excellent for encouraging the healing of pimple lesions, as well as providing antioxidant support to the immune system.

This is a good post so please read it thoroughly.., Herbs like this are available on your backyard or your neighbor's backyard, so it just proves again that we do not need money to experience a pimple free face. Natural Pimple Skin Care is much much more effective and safe the conventional treatments we can buy at drug stores. Bottom line is - remedy your pimple and acne problems the natural way!
