Acne
Acne can be caused by inflammation, bacterial overgrowth, hormonal imbalance, and impaired detoxification. There are many medicinal herbs traditionally used to help support clearer skin.
Lymphatics such as Cleavers, Red Clover and Poke Root may help to drain the interstitial spaces within the skin.
Anti-inflammatories such as Meadowsweet, Nettle, Echinacea and Marigold are traditionally associated with soothing redness and skin discomfort.
Bitter alternatives such as Dandelion and Burdock may encourage the release of toxins.
Astringent herbs such as Chickweed, Rosemary and Yarrow may help reduce itching, oil production and clogged pores.
Witch hazel may be applied topically to reduce swelling and inflammation.
These herbs may also be used on eczema, psoriasis, rosacea and cradle cap.
