Women
with an excessive secretion of the androgen hormone
usually suffer from treatment-resistant acne. The extra
androgen gears up the oil-producing glands which
eventually results into the bilking breakouts. Since
excess androgen in blood causes acne and
contraceptives are a combination of estrogen and
progestin taken orally, the latter are often prescribed
to cure hormonal acne. Low estrogen doses in the
contraceptives suppress the androgen level secreted by
the ovaries. But does that really work? Well you have to
dig in deep to get the answer.
Acne
and contraceptives: best treated in a holistic
way
Although
the anti-androgen drugs like Spironolactone are known to
cure acne, you just cannot deny the side-effects that
may be caused due to this high blood pressure medicine.
Side effects like menstrual irregularities (in women who
do not use oral contraceptives), breast tenderness are
common along with fatigue and headache. Also frequent
urination is an obvious side effect of this diuretic
drug. Thus, contraceptives seem to be rather threatening
than ailing to your body. Acne and contraceptives is
both complex in their individual domains, acne having a
whole lot of causes and contraceptives having a handful
of side effects. Treating a complex condition like acne
with such a one-dimensional approach is a sure shot
failure. The one and only way to meet your acne
challenge is the holistic way.
To
follow the holistic way of cure you must know the basic
internal causes that trigger acne. Hormonal imbalance
like excess secretion of androgen along with sebum
secretion induces a genetic instability which results
into the breakout but can be fixed permanently when
treated from the core. A holistic approach treats the
problem from its source, i.e.; helps neutralize the
internal environment of your body to encourage proper
hormonal secretion and thereby preventing external
eruptions. Not only physiological, but a psychological
well being is also considered to be equally important
for proper hormonal balance in the body. Thus a calm and
healthy mind is the desired fundamental for a healthy
body free of acne and contraceptives are a strict no-no.
So
don’t waste your time, energy and of course, patience,
fighting to get rid of your acne and contraceptives, you
will just go haywire! Go holistic and relax! Boost up
your self confidence which was lost in all that anguish.
Yes, acne has that deadly effect of killing your morale
which again aggravates the trouble. Treating acne in a
holistic way also stresses on your diet which should
include fresh fruits, rich in vitamin A, yellow-orange
vegetables and fruits. A minimum of 4 quarts of water is
recommended in order to flush out those toxins, the main
culprit to cause acne. Thus the holistic way is the best
ever way you can treat your acne as it considers the
source and uproots the problem leaving you healthy and
invigorated with an inner strength which no other drug
can dare to claim!
