Cystic Acne Home Remedy

While thinking of what to post for today to try to educate and inform. My thoughts went to a hike I was enjoying with my nephew along a popular trail we frequent. Along that trail grew wild mint, in fact you could smell them and they were the tallest mint plants I have ever seen. We collected some to let try just to have around the house.

Then the question came to me…since herbs are very powerful healers, I wonder if there are more that can help in the treatment of acne?… Hence we have today’s topic; More Herbal Treatments for Acne – Mint and Nettle.

Herbs were used in times before modern medicine for healing and I believe that when used in partnership with a clean healthy lifestyle and good quality vitamin supplements acne can be controlled. My research backs up my theory also.

There are herbs for all sorts of problems from erectile and prostrate health to acid indigestion. So, let’s take a look at the More Herbal Treatments for Acne – Mint and Nettle a little closer.

Mint Herbal Treatment for Acne

Peppermint not spearmint is the mint of choice in this remedy. This is the herb with the medicinal ingredient of menthol and you should be able to find them at your local market or herb shop.

Or, if you have a green thumb you can grow it, which could be rather fun for you and your children as a project or educational lesson. Then, you will always have your own supply, cool huh?

How to use?

First, take about a handful of the mint leaves and crush them thoroughly.

Second, rub the leaves and juice on the area needed treatment and leave it on for 5-10 minutes.

Rinse with cold water.

This mint treatment for pimples can be repeated as often as you wish to lessen pain and decrease inflammation.

How does it work?

The menthol, which is why we wanted peppermint specifically, works as an anti-inflammatory and a natural pain reliever.

Any Precautions?

Not usually, but use common sense here ok? If you notice a strong reaction or rash…STOP!

Nettle Herbal Treatment for Acne

I have heard of this next one, and the term of Nettle is for a variety of herbaceous plants of the genus Urtica. Most have heard of “Stinging Nettle” and many of us gardeners regard it as a weed. Although, it is also an edible green, and a strong herbal treatment.

The Stinging Nettle has been used by dry and fresh all over the world for hundreds of years for natural remedies. Drying this herb or soaking it in hot water makes it digestible and one can handle it.

How to use?

Natural Acne Remedy of Nettle Tea

First, put a pair of gloves on.

Second, remove the leaves and toss the stems away.

Third, put leaves in tea pot and pour boiling water over…steep 5 minutes.

Sweeten with honey and/or lemon if you so wish and drink.

Now, this tea will be a little bitter, but very nutrition and high in calcium.

Dried nettle in tea bags are available, although less effective than fresh.

Dried Nettle for an Acne Remedy

Yes, this can be purchased as a supplement OTC in health food stores and good vitamin shops. Just follow the recommended dosage written on the container and drink plenty of water with it.

How does it work?

The fresh plant is known for irritating the skin and inflaming it, but the leaves contain anti-inflammatory properties. These, when taken with plenty of fluids besides reducing inflammation also helps to detox the system.

Any Precautions?

Yes, stomach irritation in a few folks and nettle is a diuretic and nursing mothers should not use it!

How about that for an educational post today? I learned a lot in this research and hope I was able to inform you too. I tried to keep this as concise but clear as I could. I know your time is valuable and wanted to just use this space better.

Herbs have powerful healing properties and in this More Herbal Treatments for Acne – Mint and Nettle have proven both in the past and now to be yet another weapon for us to use in our fight against this skin problem.
