I never had acne problems, but what always worked for my older sister is steam from boiling water on a stove, placing a towel over head to keep steam on face, this opens pores. sometimes she would mix water with oatmeal and let it dry on her face and then rinse off. She is 43 now and hasn't had an acne problem since high school.Whats the best home remedy to treat acne?
I think that the toothpaste reply is an urban myth. In any case, I have been treating acne for some time now with Silver Cream. In my opinion and after treating the condition on several different skin types over a number of years I believe this to be the best kept secret in acne treatment. The Cream is 100% natural and does not cost much. In fact at the .com web site notaquitter they ship world wide. By the way the toothpaste does do a good job on your teeth.
I used to have an acute case of acne when I was younger for many years; it covered my face, back, chest and posterior. I eventually healed myself without the use of drugs. I cured myself through DIET.
-This is what you should avoid/elminate:
fried foods
White bread/flour
starch combinations during the same meal (e.g. potatoes and pasta)
soda/carbonated drinks
sugar/corn syrup
meat/dairy
soft foods (processed foods)
hydrogenated oils (in processed foods)
-you should increase your intake of:
fruits/vegetables, preferably organic (you should have a salad a day, at the least)
8 glasses of water a day
whole foods
black and/or brown bread (whole grains)
nuts
-you should have a balance, of 80% alkaline forming foods, to 20% acid forming foods. (mostly fruits and vegetables)
-----
Basically, your eliminations are poor/sluggish; thats is why some people can get away with eating badly, but you may not. The reason changing your diet to the foods below will help is because your eating foods that are much easier to digest and elminate than those above.
I would check out Edgar Cayce; without his advice I would probably still suffer today.
He also said you can help yourself through osteopathic adjustments to your spine, he said this can create imbalances in your nervous system (if it isn't in proper adjustment) which will affect everything else. I haven't done this yet, as it is expensive; but I assume when I do, I will be able to better digest the aforementioned foods. Through DIET ALONE I have been cured for a number of years.
Don't believe the people who say it doesn't effect it, I swear to god this will help. It helped me. =) good luck!
Just so others are aware, I'm copy/pasting this to others, so they can get advice, because I have been there. i'm not selling or advertising for anyone or anything, i'm not spamming. don't think that, if you see this advice elsewhere.

Burdock Root as capsules or a tea.
As an herbalist for 24 years, I've never seen a simple remedy work so well for acne in teens. Burdock has traditionally been seen as a ';blood cleanser'; and it works very effectively at enhancing the lymph system's ability to clear toxins and heat from the body.
You can easily find Burdock Root at any well-stocked health food store. If you are adventurous, you can even dig it up out of the yard allot of times. Make sure that she takes a ';therapeutic'; quantity of capsules or tea every day. It will take a few weeks to take effect.
Try mixing some Cayenne pepper sauce, Ajax, and Preparation-H...
Some old lady down the street swears by it!
