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.
How to get rid of
acne holistically?
Acne and contraceptives: best treated in a 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!
