ACNE-INDEX

Acne Remedies – Ayurvedic Treatments May Help You!

Acne is perhaps the most dreaded health problem when one is an adolescent. Due to hormonal changes related with puberty and subsequent blood impurities, yellow pus-filled growths appear on the face, which are known as pimples. When this happens, it is said that the person is suffering from acne.

Almost everyone will have pimples at one time or other in their lives. Normally, pimples go away in a couple of days, but if the person does not take enough care, then they could live a lifelong scar behind. Also, pimples can spread on the face quite fast, especially if they burst and their fluids come in contact with healthy skin. Though we know of acne as mostly occurring on the face, it also occurs on the chest, neck and back.

Youngsters put in a lot of effort and money in using medicines for acne available in the market, but with disappointing results. But there are several natural methods in which acne can be prevented. The following is a list of the best methods known to fight acne.

Treatment with Simple Home Remedies

Remedy 1

Wash your face with buttermilk several times a day. This will treat the pimples and also make your face shinier and healthier.

Remedy 2

Take a single seed of a jambula fruit (Indian Plum). Put it in water and rub it thoroughly so that it moistens completely. When the seed is sufficiently wet, then rub it thoroughly on the areas where pimples are present. This remedy is especially beneficial for the pimples that occur in adolescence.

Remedy 3

Just rub the peel of an orange onto the pimples so that its juices moisten them completely. Even this simple procedure done several times a day will reduce and even eliminate the acne.

Remedy 4

Take a ripe pumpkin. Mash it thoroughly and then rub it over the face for a long time. Keep it on the face for fifteen to twenty minutes. You will feel the skin drying up and stretching. This is when you must wash the face and then wipe it dry. Then apply the oil of either coconut or mustard onto the face. Do this for a week on a daily basis. Your acne problem will be solved and the skin of the face will become smooth.

Remedy 5

Mix ten grams of the powder of chana (Cicer arietinum, chana) and ten grams of haldi (Curcuma longa, turmeric) in curds. Apply this paste onto the skin. Wash it off when it dries. Continue this treatment for a week. The acne will clear out.

Remedy 6

Prepare a paste by dissolving the powders of lodhra (Symplocos racemosa), coriander and vacha (Acorus calamus, Sweet Flag) in water. Apply this on the face on a regular basis. It will treat acne and the skin will look as though it had never been afflicted with pimples.

Remedy 7

Roast some mustard seeds, chiraunji (Buchanania latifolia) and a dry orange peel in equal parts. Grind them to a very thin powder. Put a little water to give it a pasty consistency. Apply this paste on the face once everyday. It will solve your acne problem.

Remedy 8

Take some nutmeg and the water of red sandalwood. Break the nutmeg and mash it in the water of the red sandalwood. Applying this water on the face will take care of all the pimples and keep the skin lustrous and soft.

Remedy 9

Take the root of a neem tree and put it in water. Squeeze on the neem root repeatedly in the water with your fingers. When it is sufficiently wet and you feel the juices have begun to exude from it, take the neem root out and rub it on the pimples as though it is a piece of chalk. This is one of the quickest remedies to get relief from pimples.

Remedy 10

One more very simple but effective remedy is to prepare an infusion of the leaves of the tulsi (Ocimum sanctum, Holy Basil) and apply it regularly on the face. The infusion is prepared by taking two to four teaspoons of dried basil leaves in a cupful of water, bring it to a boil and then cool it for use.

Remedy 11

Take a cup of boiled water and add into it turmeric powder and the leaves of tulsi. Let the fumes of this solution come in contact with your face, as though you are having a steam bath. When done, wash the face immediately. This treatment will open up your sweat pores. But washing it immediately, you are removing the grime and the dust which causes acne. Hence this remedy is more of prevention than a cure.

Treatment with Special Ayurvedic Methods

Ayurveda suggests the use of the Kumkumadi lepam to be applied on the face. Before applying this paste, the face must be washed thoroughly. Another internal remedy is to take Saribadyasava in dosages of 15 to 30 milliliters with an equal quantity of water.

Natural Acne Cures and Home Remedies

dog skin problem after pregnancy?

my dog developed skin problem during and after her pregnancy. she get itchy all the time and her hair been falling near her butttt to her stomach. her skin looks normal except lately her skin has tiny red swells. when she scratched the tiny swells, as big as an acne, it bleeds. vet is far from my place and i wanna try if i can fix it by buying natural or artificial remedy that i can buy near my place… does anyone know what i can do to my dog? i’m worried of the puppies which might get the skin problem too if i wont be able to cure her skin problem.

Since this forum is for answering questions, not slinging mud, I’ll answer with what you requested. There’s a site that lists things you can use that are “natural”, but the site owner (and I) urge you to get her to a vet for a diagnosis first. I’m thinking it’s probably a thyroid problem (underactive or low). There’s something you can get for that without a vet (and feel free to email if you need to later), but I think you need to try some other things first.

It may be a nutrition problem that showed up when the pregnancy began making huge demands on her body. Without knowing whether she’s been wormed with a full spectrum wormer like Drontal, what breed she is, what she’s being fed, how many puppies she had, and a myriad of other questions, all anyone can do is guess. I don’t think it’s something contagious,or she would have shown evidence of having it before she got pregnant, however.

I’m going to start with the most obvious, and that is, she probably isn’t getting enough of the nutrients she needs from what she’s being fed. If you’re feeding her a cheap grocery store dogfood, that’s probably a large part of the problem. The food value in these types of dogfoods is about that of a cardboard box. You’ll probably see a dramatic improvement if you change what you’re feeding her to a higher quality brand of food. Check the site below for the rank of most dogfoods sold in the USA. I’m now feeding my dogs Wellness, and it’s hard to believe how much difference a high quality dogfood will make until you try one.

I could tell you a story of a rescued/starving mother dog I have, but that isn’t necessary. If you want to know it, email and I’ll send you a link back to one of the many posts I wrote that included it.

If you are wanting something to help soothe this right away, check the other site below the first one. I can also guarantee those 2 products, and so can a lot of other people.

There is a website that has a load of effective “natural” remedies, and I’m including the link but I really think her problem is related to a poor diet and possibly being wormy. You can get Drontal or a generic equal to it from the 3rd website, and you don’t have to have a vet prescription to get it.

One last bit of advice, please do your dog a favor and have her spayed after she weans her puppies. It will spare her from more dangerous illnesses than just skin problems. Pyometra is a killer and a horrible way for a dog to die. If you don’t have a lot of money, get CareCredit, contact SpayUSA for help or call around to see if there is a county program where you live available to help pay for it.

How Do You Treat Pregnancy Pimples?

I have never been a person to have A LOT of pimples or acne. Now, that I am almost 14 weeks pregnant, I feel uncomfortable because I have more than usual. I know this is due to hormones and increased oil in skin due to pregnancy, but does anyone have a remedy that works?

I asked my dr this question.. she said salicylic acid is ok as long it’s not the oral med and as long it’s in a facial wash.. not a lotion or anything that stays on the face. So she said St Ive’s medicated apricot scrub is ok since you rinse it off. and she said that benzoyl peroxide is also ok to put on problem areas every few days.. just not everyday….I use clean & clear persa-gel 10.. that has worked for me.. I still get em every now and then but not like I did before using these products.. http://www.drugstore.com/qxp16501_333181_sespider/clean_and_clear/persa_gel_10_maximum_strength.htm

http://www.drugstore.com/products/prod.asp?pid=53053&catid=48050

you will have to put an oil-free moisturizer after applying the persa-gel.. it leaves your skin feeling tight if you don’t
