The Best Form Of Acne TreatmentThe best form of acne treatment involves using all the approaches we've found effective in the clinic. The goal is to improve your health and correct the internal imbalance causing your acne. Generally, using antibiotics or topical ointments can either hurt your health or only provide temporary improvement. Oriental medicine uses several therapies that restore your body's internal balance (including hormonal balance). Here's the approach used in my clinic and that I consider to be the best form of acne treatment... #1 Stop Causing The ProblemWhy even bother to treat your acne if your going to just keeps causing it? Sounds obvious, but most doctors will give you a pill, possibly a topical cream and maybe some vague dietary suggestions… but you've tried that, and it didn't work, did it. Why? Because you're still causing the internal problem that's leading to your acne. I can't stress this enough - You absolutely must stop the causes if you want to get over your problem. They include...
You probably have the last three (hormone problems, poor metabolism and thriving bad bacteria)... ...because of the first three (wrong diet, stress and chemicals.) That's right - your hormones and metabolism are messed up, and bad bacteria are able to thrive, because of:
Now, those are things you can handle, aren't they? Since acne is strongly affected by diet, the best form of acne treatment involves eating the right foods. So, the next step is: #2 Correct Your DietTo get over your acne once and for all, you must stop eating acne causing foods .
Those are the foods that cause excess heat and damp like I mentioned above. The best diet for acne is based on Chinese Dietary Principles. This can bring your internal environment gradually back into harmony, stopping the "damp" and "heat" and allowing your skin to clear up. #3 Use Oriental Holistic Remedies For AcneOriental Medicine has several excellent holistic remedies for acne , based on its unique perspective from hundreds of year's experience. The best form of acne treatment includes herbal pills based on ancient formulas, and liniments for topical application that are very effective. #4 Stop Using Perfumes, Colognes And Other Chemicals On Your SkinThose are chemicals, and they're absorbed into your skin. They're toxic, and cause excess "heat" in your system. If stress is a factor in your life, then… #5 Calm Your MindEasier said than done, right? Not if you do it the right way. The most effective method for that is, by far, meditation. It's much more powerful than you probably imagine. That's why it's so popular in other countries. And, meditation not only calms your mind, but has strong regulating effects on your body, including your hormones and metabolism. Remember - those are probably messed up if you have acne. So, buy a book. Take a class. Whatever it takes, but meditate every day to calm your stress. The best form of acne treatment will regulate your metabolism and hormones (and clears the "heat" and "damp"), since that's at the root of your acne. An excellent way to do that is: #6 AcupressureImportant - Do not underestimate this technique. The simplicity of this acne remedy causes it to be overlooked as a viable option. Research, as well as my own clinical results, has proven it to be part of the best form of acne treatment. Start by trying the following: Apply medium pressure to cause an "aching" sensation (never painful), for a minimum of 60 seconds / 3 X day, with your finger, thumb or knuckle to the following points: Pt 1 - At the lateral side of your elbow, at the very end of the visible elbow crease. Pt. 2 - Between your index finger and thumb, on top of the bulge created when you press the thumb and index finger together Pt 3 - On the web between your 2nd and 3rd toes. Pt 4 - On the inner side of your lower leg, follow the inner edge of the shinbone up to where it flares out (about 3 inches below your knee.) The point is just off the bone and is probably very tender on pressure.
