Can One Get Rid Of Acne Using Alternative Medicine?

Alternative medication primarily focuses on the cleansing of the skin and to keep it oil-free. It is always recommended to use blood-cleanser or blood-purifier at the first step of medication. There are varieties of herbs that are efficient to serve this purpose. If internally used, these herbs can purify the blood circulation in such a manner that it can strengthen the function of kidney and liver. Example of such herbs may include dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale) as well as burdock root (Arctium lappa). Both of them can be used in the cooked vegetable or within salad. On the other hand, red clover (Trifolium pratense) can be used in herbal tea to serve the same purpose.

The traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of acne may include cnidium seed (Cnidium monnieri) and honey-suckle flower (Lonicera japonica). It should be associated with nutritional supplements containing essential fatty acids (EFAs), vitamin B complex, zinc, vitamin A or beta-carotene, and chromium.

The individual having acne may undergo through movement therapy like yoga or t'ai chi, or may participate in meditation process in order to manage stress.
