Treating Acne With Vegetable Juicing
One of the less well known natural acne remedies is drinking the juice from green vegetables or even eating them raw. If you have ever seen those old televeision adverts for the Jack Lalanne Juicer, you may be aware of the benefits. To understand how this can be so, we need to look at the causes of acne and how it can be treated.
Often, acne is caused by an imbalance of hormones in the body which causes the oil glands in the skin to produce too much oil. What is causing this to occur is actually related to what we are putting inside our bodies. This may sound too simple an explanation, but there is big money to be made from acne and a lot of the information we are told is often not exactly true.
A lot of money goes into advertising from big pharmaceutical companies. It is no wonder that we believe that the only way to effectively treat acne is with lots of different medications.
It is worthwhile exploring using natural remedies rather than all of those creams that you can buy over the counter and various medications.
Natural remedies are great because they treat the underlying cause of acne, by helping to restore the hormonal balance. They also provide nutrients to the body and what we are taking in is purely natural, no additives or chemicals. These additives alone can be responsible for upsetting the bodies balance.
Taking green vegetables and using a power juicer to juice them can start the healing process. Also eating the raw vegetables will help with detoxing the body and providing nutrients. Vegetables that work particularly well are cucumber, celery, basil and oregano. These have antiseptic properties and create a much healthier environment inside the body.
Another product that can be found in most health food stores is probiotics. Many people have found these more beneficial at healing the skin than actual antibiotics. If you suffer from acne it is worth exploring these natural remedies to see if there is something that suits you body and that can help heal the skin.
