Acne

When healing acne there are many factors to consider.

Firstly, it’s a PITTA condition, so to ensure it doesn’t come back you need to follow PITTA PACIFICATION.

This prescription will calm down and resolve acne but to heal it for good you will need to amend your nutrition and lifestyle.

Acne is usually associated with high levels of the hormone Testosterone - Spearmint tea is very good and harmonising Testosterone.

Lowering stress is key! as this is linked to Blood Sugar and Testosterone.

Often the liver is stagnant which is why acne is coming through the skin. So liver herbs and foods are essential.

The elimination channels often need more support especially the lymphatic system.

It could be linked to PCOS, especially if you have irregular cycles too, hair loss and facial hair growth. You do not need all these symptoms to be diagnosed with PCOS.
