Essentials oils for Natural cures acne
Basic beauty begins with the glow of good health,
which shines from within. The skin often mirrors the health of the
whole body. A radiant clear complexion begins with proper nutrition,
efficient digestion and assimilation of nutrients by the body and
regular elimination. Skin problems are a reflection of internal
health and are often a reflection of overall body and blood toxicity
and/or stomach problems. Almost anything that cleanses the blood
or intestines will also show a result on the skin. Skin problems
can also be as a result of allergies, hormone imbalances, nutrition
or dehydration.
The skin, sometimes called the third kidney, is the body's largest
eliminative organ after the liver. When it functions efficiently,
it eliminates two pounds of waste acids daily, so its ability to
excrete toxins is of paramount importance; when the skin ceases
to function properly, an increased burden is placed on the lymphatic
system and other excretory organs.
Natural cures acne
with Tea tree oil
Tea tree is the best re-discovery
of the century. It is a relatively safe oil to use on almost
any condition. Its "medicinal" properties make it
a strong virus and bacteria fighter and therefore boosts the immune
system.
Tea tree has been tested
extensively in Australia (its country of origin) for its effectiveness
as a disinfectant against bacteria and has proved itself worthy.
Many books have been written on essential oils collectively but
Tea tree has earned books being written on just this one oil.
Many case histories back the claims made about the effectiveness
of its properties from healing bleeding gums and bed sores to gangrenous
sores.
Health Benefits
High-quality tea tree oil contains 40% or more
of terpinen-4-ol, the ingredient that fights harmful bacteria and
fungi and makes the oil so effective in preventing and fighting
infection in cuts, scrapes, insect bites, and stings.
Your natural cures acne with Tea tree oil
Even severe cases of acne have been shown to benefit
from anti-acne preparations that contain up to 15% tea tree oil,
an effect that can be explained by the oil's antibacterial and skin-healing
properties.
In one study conducted in Australia, a comparison
was made between a gel containing 5% tea tree oil and a traditional
5% benzoyl peroxide acne lotion. The products proved similar in
their effectiveness against pimples, although the herbal preparation
worked more slowly. It was notable, however, that the product containing
the tea tree oil caused significantly less dryness, redness, scaling,
and itching to the surrounding skin.
