Teenage Acne? Say No to The PILL and Yes to Chinese Herbs

Acne can affect all ages but teenagers are particularly vulnerable. The answer, however, is not the birth control pill. What ever celeb has promoted the idea that popping a birth control pill to deal with a few skin blemishes or the PMS and cramps that come from a monthly menstrual cycle needs to get a brain! Seriously, girls, think about what you are doing. Taking artificial hormones to clear up your face or prevent cramps is a really bad idea.

There is a better way to deal with these problems.

Chinese herbs are the perfect solution to period cramps and acne!

Birth control pills do more than prevent a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus, they rob your body of important vitamins and minerals. Consider that birth control pills reduce your bodies B vitamins, iron, selenium, magnesium, zinc and probiotics.

A long-term deficiency of these nutrients can cause all sorts of problems including low thyroid, weight gain, hair loss, panic attacks, memory deficit, bone loss, frequent infections and depression not to mention a higher risk for high blood pressure, stroke and heart attack and dare I even say; cancer. (Check the Breastcancerfund.org to see the statistics)

There are much better ways to deal with acne than "The Pill".

Here's a couple tips to help your skin!

1. Invest in high quality cosmetics and don't cake on the make-up.

2. Keep your hands off your face. (Easier said than done I know) Set your intention before you go to sleep that tomorrow you won't touch your face.

3. Cleanse in the morning, cleanse in the afternoon, cleanse in the evening.

4. Drink plenty of water. (not from pla! stic bot tles please, you don't need the BPA's)

5. Add a probiotic to your diet. You can buy probiotics in pill form or many products containing keifer and kombuchaare available which are high in probiotics.

6. Chinese herbs can be taken orally which will help internally with the root cause of your acne. Ask us for a recommendation of a licensed herbalist and Acupuncturist in your neighborhood who can prescribe an herbal formula to help you or call us for a free consultation.

Chemical Additive in Your Herbs. To Sulfur or Not to Sulfur

When purchasing dried fruit, 9 out of 10 people will pick the bag that looks prettier than the one that has fruit turned brown. Go beyond the beautiful color because that beautiful color is deceiving. It may even carry toxins. Sulfur dioxide is used to prevent discoloration in dried fruit but it's carries some significant side effects. The most common reactions are diarrhea, allergies, headaches and asthma. Now what about the herbs you buy? Do your herbs contain sulfur dioxide (SD) and does SD effect the fundamental quality of the herbs? Chinese herbs are derived from natural plant and mineral products. Like any natural product, they are vulnerable to mold and insect infestation. To control the decay and mold many herbal products and natural supplements are sprayed with sulfur based fumigation. This process kills bacteria, mold, insects and may also be used for bleaching/ cleaning raw herbs. But can it change the chemical constituents of a particular herb? In some cases we know fo...

Renaming Sleep Aids Ambien Now Called Intermezzo

FDA just approved a subligual Ambien for "insomnia in the middle of the night followed by difficulty returning to sleep" It has taken a few years, but the FDA has now approved Intermezzo, a low dose drug with the same active ingredient as Ambien. Zolpidem tartrate will now be in a sublingual tablet form rather than the sleeping pill, Ambien. A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, said Shakespeare and in this case Intermezzo is still Ambien and the side-effects are the same. For people who have difficulty staying asleep and can't fall back to sleep we recommend an herbal sleep aid that has been used for centuries, safely.
