Natural Remedies for Severe Acne: Chamomile

As someone who has had severe acne during puberty, I know how embarrassing and even physically painful things can get. The whiteheads and blackheads certainly did not enhance the way I looked or the way I felt back then. I was given all sorts of stuff by my doctors, but it either didn’t help or I didn’t want to use it after reading the label. Fortunately, I stumbled onto one of Mother’s Nature’s natural remedies for severe acne, and after persistent daily usage, I was free of my bothersome problem!

Chamomile

Chamomile is one of the very best natural acne remedies out there, and certainly the best I’ve tried (because it’s the last one I had to try). The plant’s common names are German chamomile, wild chamomile, true chamomile, and scented mayweed. It grows on clay soils, arable land, hillsides, in glades, in clover fields, in potato fields, in corn fields, and in wheat fields. Because of the increased use of chemical fertilizers and herbicides in our world today, chamomile is eradicated more and more everyday.

The hollow receptacle at the base of the blossom distinguishes it from Roman Chamomile, which should not be used for this natural remedy for severe acne. The scent is aromatic and quite pleasant. A closer description of this well-known plant is surely not needed, as you probably already know exactly what I am describing. If in fact you live somewhere where it is possible for you to gather fresh, organic (free of herbicides) chamomile, that would be best. Gather only the flower-heads, from May to August, preferably in the bright noon Sun. If you can only buy dried chamomile flowers in an herbal store, this is fine too. However, be sure that they are certified organic.

Directions for Usage

Chamomile is not only one of the most effective natural remedies for severe acne, but it is also one of the easiest to prepare. Chamomile is actually utilized as a two-pronged natural remedy for severe acne. A body-wash and a tea are prepared before nighttime. Both will start healing your acne, while promoting wonderfully refreshing sleep.

Whether using fresh or dried flowers, use about 25 milligrams for the body-wash. Prepare the body-wash in the following manner: Put the flowers into a 14-fluid-ounce vessel. Then, fill the vessel with boiling water. Once the mixture cools to about room temperature, strain it of the flowers and leaves. Then, after showering, proceed to wash all body parts that are inflicted with the acne.

While the chamomile mixture is cooling, prepare the other part of your natural remedy for severe acne: the chamomile tea. It is easily prepared in the following manner: Whether you are using fresh or dried flowers, take about 10 milligrams and throw them in a cup. Next, fill the cup with boiling water from your teapot. Strain the liquid right before you go into the shower and drink it as soon as you exit.

Using the two-pronged natural remedy for severe acne I’ve outlined above, you should begin to see effects in just a few weeks. Continue this process everyday (or as often as possible) until the acne disappears. Then, when you are through with painful and embarrassing pimples, raise a cup of chamomile tea to Mother Nature for providing us with such a wonderful plant!

Natural Remedies to Cure Acne: Walnut Bath

Those who have or have had acne know how embarrassing and uncomfortable the troublesome skin disorder can become. However, rest assured that there are some surefire natural remedies to cure acne. One of these is the walnut bath, and it is sure to alleviate the symptoms of acne on your whole body.

What to Do

The walnut, a large tree, flowers in early spring, before the leaves appear. The leaves of the tree are gathered in June for medicinal purposes. Dried walnut leaves are precisely what we will need for this natural remedy to cure acne. You will find these leaves sold at most local herbal stores. You will also likely be able to procure them online if you cannot find them locally. Either way, try to find leaves that are certified organic.

Locate a container (heat-resistant glass or stainless steel is best) that will hold about two gallons of water. Take 100 grams of the walnut leaves and cut them each in half, throwing them into the container. Then, fill the container with cold water and leave it soaking overnight.

The following morning, as you are filling your bath, heat the container (with the leaves still inside), until the liquid almost boils. As soon as you place the container on the stove, take a heaped teaspoonful of another batch of again freshly cut leaves, throw them in a cup, and fill the cup with boiling water from your teapot. When the two-gallon container on the stove is almost at its boiling point, turn off the gas and strain the mixture into your bathwater. Next, strain the liquid in your cup.

Now, get into the bath, being sure to keep your chest (especially the heart) above the bathwater. While soaking for exactly 20 minutes, sip the walnut leaf tea. Once the 20 minutes are up, get a towel and wrap yourself in it (do not wipe yourself off). Then, go to bed and cover yourself in a warm blanket, so that you feel that you are perspiring. Lie in bed in this manner for about one hour. Repeat this process weekly until your acne disappears.

The walnut bath is a wonderful natural cure for acne, and it is an especially potent natural remedy for back acne. After the bath, you will feel refreshed and restored. You will feel especially wonderful, because you will realize that this natural cure for acne is nursing your skin back to a perfectly healthy state!
