The Skin
Eczema, psoriasis and acne are the three conditions to most commonly affect the skin. All of these conditions can cause significant distress to those suffering with them. Herbal remedies are often very effective at dealing with skin complaints.
Acne:
Acne is the persistent recurrence of boils, spots, pimples or blackheads on the skin, predominantly on the face, back, shoulders and chest. Acne occurs primarily in teenagers bur may be present at any age. Acne is related to the over-production of sebum, which blockd the pores of the skin and leads to inflammation or infection within the pores and hair follicles.
Factors Affecting Acne:
- Age: Increased levels of 5 DHT (5 dihydrotestosterone), the most active form of male hormone leads to increased sebum production and therefore acne
- Drugs such as corticsteroids and the contraceptive pill
- Other hormonal changes
- Poor diet and lack of hygiene
- The use of oil bases cosmetics
Aims of Herbal Support Therapies:
- To reduce the ability of 5 DHT to bind to receptors thus rendering it less active
- To stimulate liver function to improve the breakdown of 5 DHT and to improve detoxification
- To provide systemic and topical anti-microbial agents to prevent infection
