Acne..... a single dreaded word used for a number of skin problems, creating fear in many teenagers because it encompasses things such as blackheads, whiteheads and probably the worst of all... skin cysts (painful boils under the skin). ARGH!!!

The skin is the largest organ in the body, and acne is one of the most common abnormalities affecting the skin.

Acne herbal remedies are alternative solutions which should always be considered in conjunction with any medication prescribed by your Doctor.

And of course any adivice given to you by your mom.

Acne herbal remedies takes a look at herbs that can be used in making herbal infusions that help in promoting a clear and acne free skin.

Some of these herbs are known as depuratives. Depuratives cleanse the system by purifying the blood. Depurative infusions can be taken internally in the form of some very interesting and tasty tea's, and then you can also use the very same tea as a face wash.

A herbal infusion made from lavender is one of our acne herbal home remedies that is believed to stimulate urine production and improve blood circulation, both of which help in purifying the body which assists in the fight against acne.

This herb has to be one of nature's many miracles.

It is known to have anti-bacterial and natural anti-inflammatory properties.

It is therefore an excellent therapy for pimples, acne and skin cysts.

When stress kicks in, which it always does at some stage in our lives, including the teenage years..... the immune system is weakened and out POP THE SPOTS!

Sage will help heal spots and blemishes because it strengthens the immune system.

Apart from drinking as a tea, try using this infusion in the bath, because sage aids in the stimulation of blood circulation, getting the blood flowing to all the areas, namely the zits on your face, back and chest.

Borage is a depurative and is known as an excellent cleanser.

It is also believed that this herb helps the body produce its own cortisone. Cortisone suppresses the immune system reducing inflammation, pain and swelling.

A word of warning though, do not use this infusion for prolonged periods, probably the same warning issued when cortisone is dispensed.

Because the Dandelion is an excellent detoxifier it widens the pores to facilitate removal of toxins through sweat and because it is a natural diuretic it will also remove these toxins through urine.

It is known as a blood cleansing herb which assists the liver and kidneys to clear toxins from the bloodstream and excrete waste products quickly, thereby operating as another one of our simple and natural acne herbal remedies.

Red Clover is also considered to be a depurative, which means that it purifies the body by promoting the body's eliminative functions.

Furthermore it is also diuretic in nature, as is the dandelion.

This helps remove waste from the body due to the increased urine flow.
