This enemy to emotional peace and comfort is believed to be only for young people (teen to 30 years old) however, it could raise its horrible head again at fifty!
Sometimes if an individual eats too much, has difficult digestions and constipation, bad circulation, or some disorder of the endocrine glands, it might manifest its presence.
A very simple diet is recommended for individuals affected with acne: Light meats such as rabbit, chicken or veal. Abundant raw vegetables and fresh fruits. Avoid as much as possible over seasoned, spicy or fried dishes, coffee and tea.
I read in a natural medicine book that my mother gave me, two ways to treat it; use both at the same time as one is by ingestion and the other one is for external use.
Tea:
Mix equal parts of crushed burdock root and crushed nettle root. Take 2 tablespoons of this mixture and add to 1/2 litter of cold water. Allow to boil for 20 minutes and sieve. Drink preferably hot, half before breakfast and half before going to bed.
If the individual suffering acne also suffers constipation, add to the mixture above one tablespoon of licorice.
WARNING: Make sure that you use burdock root only as indicated. Mixed with other ingredients can be poisonous.
To apply on the skin:
100 grams of fresh juice made of burdock leaves
30 grams of lime juice
Starch glycerate (starch glycerol)
20 grams of buckwheat
Make a cream with it and apply every afternoon after washing skin with a herbal soap.
Please keep in mind I have never used the treatments above, I cannot attest to their effectiveness, all I can say it is in a book that has given me good advise before.
Burdock is known for its diuretic and blood purifying qualities; good for boils, scurvy and rheumatic affections. Good for ulcers, scaly skin and chronic indigestion.
As a poultice is good for tumors, gout, bruises and inflammation.
Buckwheat is commonly used for baking, as its flour is considered very nutritious and of easy digestion.
It is used to treat erysipelas and to restore the flow of milk in nursing mothers.
Buckwheat may cause a rash on allergic individuals when ingested.
