There are a number of herbs that are good for your skin. But when you suffer from acne, good is not enough! You need SUPER herbs and skilled preparation to get a true natural medicine that actually works.
To exemplify how complex the science of herbs is:
As wine grapes yield a different quality and taste depending on where and how they are harvested, the similar rule applies, and is even magnified, with herbs. Different parts of the same herbs (leaves, root or stem) processed under different temperatures, and the method of extraction, may provide for totally different properties of a final product.
According to the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acne and rosacea are due to excessive "heat in the body". A common term for acne in China is "heat sores". So, the herbs used to treat acne need to decrease the "heat."
In Western medical terms, the herbs that work help reduce and balance sebaceous gland secretions, possibly impact factors that are responsible for stimulating this secretion and also work as anti-inflammatory agents.
You may know that I worked for years on finding a solution that would accomplish this - and I have!
What is so great about the SUPER HERBS that we use in AcnEase, which are hands down super herbal acne eliminators?
Please Note! I do not recommend that you run to your nearest health food store to buy all of these herbs to try to make your own AcnEase concoction. IT WON'T WORK. The ratio of ingredients in each treatment combined with the development process is a proprietary trade secret of ours.
