A very large number of young people all over the
world fall prey to acne. According to the National
Institute of Health, about 85% of humans between the
ages of 12 to 24 suffer from it. But the good news is,
acne can be treated- let us find out
how. You can tackle this condition in basically two
ways. Treat the outbreak with antibiotics and
prescription drugs or try healing it with natural acne home
treatments and with holistic remedies. We'll
discuss both forms of treatment and try to work out
which is more effective.
Effective Natural Acne Home
Treatments
The reaction of most people who have been
afflicted with acne is to find a quick over the counter
cure. However, except in extremely mild cases, they
don't work. So the next step is to consult a
dermatologist, who will suggest a course of prescription
medication. These may affect a cure, but you should be
aware of some of the alarming side effects that such
medicines could produce.
Keeping these adverse side effects in mind, it
may be safer for you to try natural acne home
treatments. We give you here some suggestions which
have worked with many of the sufferers.
·
Make a paste out of a
teaspoon of cinnamon powder and a teaspoon of lemon
juice and apply it on the affected area.
·
Use a blend of one
tablespoon of groundnut oil and one tablespoon of fresh
lime juice at the first signs of the outbreak. It will
prevent the development of
pimples and blackheads.
· If you have already developed an inflammation,
apply raw papaya juice, its skin and its seed on the
swelling.
· Blend rose water and lime juice in equal
proportions and apply this on the affected part. Keep it
on for half an hour and then use lukewarm water to rub
it off.
·
If you are suffering
from blackheads, use a mixture of ground radish seeds
and water to make a paste and then apply it on the
blackheads to remove them
Do Acne Home Remedies
Work?
While you are free to decide on the course of
treatment that you feel will best be suited to your
problem, we would like to make you aware of certain
shortcomings in both methods of healing. That is,
everything mentioned above tackles the external symptoms of acne and not
the root cause of it. The only way to fix this internal
condition which causes your acne (the internal condition
may be quite complicated as acne is caused by many
factors) is through the holistic method. It balances the
internal disorder and ensures that you are permanently
cured. Sure, the natural acne home
treatments we have told you about might help. But,
because they only address the external outbreak, they do
not root out the real cause leading to relapse at a
later stage of your life. The holistic approach cures
you
forever.
