Acne Alternative Treatment – The Chinese Way

Did you know there is a Chinese acne alternative treatment, that is not only natural and harmless, but it works too? As you may well be aware of, the Chinese have an number of remedies for just about any health condition, including acne.

Their cures go back millenia, and they still are a common choice for acne sufferers. As opposed to American and European beliefs, the Chinese think that acne is caused by toxins and heat in your blood and digestive organs.

For example, doesn’t your acne always seem to crop up around your chin, forehead and nose? Well the Chinese believe that these areas are linked to your digestive system. So your acne appears because of toxins or problems with your stomach or intestines.

So what does a Chinese acne cure home remedy entail? Generally it requires you to eat more healthily, get enough vitamins and nutrients, be very hygienic, and then stick to a long-term, sustainable eating plan. When it comes to eating fats, you should stay away animal fats and margarine that leek toxins in your body and cause inflammation, and use extra virgin olive oil instead.

This Asian acne alternative treatment also requires you to eat low-fat or fat-free dairy products which do less damage to your stomach and intestines. Any processed or packaged foods are a big no-no – this includes things like french fries, biscuits, crackers, sweets, etc. And when it comes to natural oils, you should be getting a lot of your omega-3’s from foods such as flax seeds or salmon.

But, stay away from omega-6 fats – like cottonseed, soybean, and sunflower oil – that can aggravate your acne. Obviously eating more fresh fruits and veggies is part of any Chinese acne cure treatment.

These foods are a good source of nutrients that aid in the cleansing of your body and skin. Also the fiber, beta-carotene and vitamin A in some of these foods help to cleanse your stomach and intestines. And to further aid the proper functioning of your digestive system, the Chinese at home acne treatment prefers you to eat more protein and fewer carbohydrates.

The Chinese also realized that by eating foods such garlic, spices and coffee, they can heat your body, leading to an acne breakout. They prefer it that you cool your body, not only through proper diet, but also by drinking a lot of water – up to 4 quarts is recommended. Water is great for purifying your body, making it an ideal acne alternative treatment that anyone can try.
