Acne Natural Remedies

 

I have been interested in natural remedies for over 30 years and feel there is no pharmacy that can improve on nature. I have cured a number of health problems with natural remedies and feel that any disease we may have can be cured with what is available from Mother Earth.

Just to give an example, I had a rash on my legs for over 10 years. After going from one physician to the next, the rash was still there. One morning I woke up and the rash was completely gone. The reason for this miracle cure - garlic! I later discovered that what I had was a fungus and garlic is an antibiotic.

Acne can have terrible consequences for people. Not only can it result in physical scarring, there's also the mental scarring as well.

So I want to make some of these treatments available so people can try them out and see for themselves how well nature's pharmacy works for them.

Here are a few natural remedies for acne:

  • Apple cider vinegar is one of nature's best overall products. Simply dilute one part vinegar to five parts water and apply it to your skin with a cotton ball. Not only does the vinegar help to remove excess oil, it helps destroy bacteria as well as helping to maintain your skin's pH. This is definitely one of the best acne natural remedies.
  • Another favorite treatment is to make a paste of powdered nutmeg and milk and apply to your face. Many people swear by this one!
  • One of the number one ways to treat acne naturally is with oatmeal. Oatmeal draws out the excess oil and impurities from your skin. Put it in a blender and pulverize it, then add enough water to make a thick paste. Apply it to your face and leave on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. Oatmeal also makes an excellent exfoliate. Just by rubbing the paste around your face it will remove dead cells.
  • Rub fresh garlic on your acne. You can also puree the garlic and use later. Do this daily and you will see an improvement of your skin. Another variation is to puree 3 or 4 cloves of garlic and soak them in milk for half an hour (this helps remove the smell), then rub the mixture on your acne.
  • Rub papaya on acne.
  • Make a paste of honey and cinnamon. Apply it on the pimples before going to bed and wash off the next morning with warm water. Pimples should disappear within two weeks.
  • Mix equal amounts of lime juice and rose water and then apply on your face. Wash off after 30 minutes with warm water
