Getting acne....Q&A............(part 3 of 5)

I’ve started getting acne spots. How long do they last? This depends on what type of spots they are and, even then, it can be very difficult to predict what will happen. Some spots will appear and then disappear during the course of a day but others will evolve more gradually through the various stages. Comedones can be very persistent if they don’t get inflamed. Mildly inflamed spots will last 5–10 days before settling down, but can leave a flat red mark (macule) for several weeks. Nodules and cysts may last for weeks or months unless you get some treatment. What is the difference between a whitehead and a yellow- head spot? These two common terms describe quite different types of spot. A whitehead is a closed comedone where the pore is blocked and not open to the air. There is no inflammation (redness). A yellow- head suggests a spot with pus in it. The medical term is a ‘pustule’. Whiteheads may become yellowheads if the blocked pore becomes infected. My daughter is only 9 but she seems

“ More Additional Methods” to improve your acne


Castor Oil/ HOT Steam Method for opening the Pores of the Skin.

What you will need: Small bottle of castor oil (available at any drug or grocery/health
food store), wash cloth and hot water. This is very effective for facial acne and was
recommended to me by a dermatologist believe it or not!

It is great if used in conjunction with the apple fast but can be used alone.

Instructions:

Daily and Ongoing - steam face with hot (not hot enough to burn), washcloth. You must
do this for a MINIMUM of 20 minutes in the morning and at night.

Every evening after you complete the steam session you will massage the castor oil into
the skin. Usually about a half a teaspoon is enough.

Leave on overnight and wash off in the morning before your 20-minute steam session.
Do this daily - results are visible in 1 to 2 weeks.

Herbal Methods

I am often asked do herbs really work for acne. Yes, from what I have seen they do. The
thing is they work slowly with building results.

Most internally taken herbs like Tahebo flush the toxins out, so the body can dispose of
them. The problem is that since the body is taking care of it, your acne is likely to get
worse for a temporary time.

Most folks start the process and just give up before they see the results. I am going to list
the herbs associated with clearing up acne. If you decide to use the herbal methods, you
must follow the instructions that come with the herb.

Aloe Vera, Bistort, Burdock, Castor Oil, Cayenne, Chaparral, Chickweed, Chlorophyll,
Dandelion, Echinacea, Ginseng, Red Clover, Redmond Clay, Sarsaparilla, Tahebo Tee,
Tea Tree Oil, Valerian root, White Oak Bark, Yellow dock.

What I recommend is the Tahebo and Melaluca Oil (Tea Tree oil) externally.

Essential Oil Method

There are also additional methods for clearing acne using topical application of essential
oils. Essential oils are oils like menthol, eucalyptus, and tea tree oil that have antiseptic
properties.
In other words, they kill bacteria. Most everyone is familiar with Listerine mouthwash.
It is well known for its ability to sterilize the mouth and actually kill germs (bacteria) in
the mouth responsible for gingivitis and periodontal disease.

Listerine accomplishes this through its ingredients of essential oils. The only essential o
I recommend where I have seen results is Melaleuca oil.

This can be purchased in almost every country. It can easily be purchased online. It’ s
all-natural oil derived from a tree in Australia. It is very powerful and yields dramatic
results.

Health food stores carry it. Follow the same directions for the castor oil method
substituting the castor oil with the Melaleuca oil.
