Acne treatment

Hello folks, yes, if you suffer from moderate acne not extremely severe then you can try some effective herbal medicines other then harmful medicines that gives serious side effects. Well at this age of my late 20s i m suffering from more then moderate acne. And yes after going through possible side effects of effective medicines i feel reluctant to try it out. I feel more like sticking to external application and safe herbal medicine besides some dietary control, etc. However, although there are many such herbal medicines people present here on net, i found few to be more effective than others.
Garlic is one good item, i tried it by applying its paste on acne affected area. It gives an extreme burning sensation though a slight flush of water can relieve it. And after that found the area to be like a spread red area and get dried later. So it's a great and effective piece. And another is the bitter leaves of Malabar nut, Athatoda vasica of which juice can be applied on acne and the leaf decoction can be taken internally. We normally use to drink the boiled extract for cold and cough syndromes and sometimes for bathing too. Just recently i came across its specific uses for skin problem like severe acne. And i applied it's juice and it gives noticeable drying effect. And the internal intake can go for a month or so taking trice in a week. So folks just make use of some of these safe and effective remedies in hand if you are concern about going naturally cured.

Your good diet

Dear folks, I would like to write here about the diet and lifestyle structure arrayed exclusively based on blood group which is explained in the popular book “Eat Right For Your Type” by Dr. Peter J. D’Adamo. Yes before I have come across notes from people referring to the book and their relevant stories of getting better result thereafter. And I do like such kind of norms and i was eager to know the things and try it. Therefore i visited their website recently. The expert provides specific diet charts for various blood groups and their favorable practices to follow. And there is much more information we have got to know.

Since before i love vegetarian foods by default as i feel better and my digestion system rolls better with veg style. Whenever I eat non-veg mostly chicken and fish, my stomach behaves badly most of the time and i felt uneasy too. And it get reflected even in my skin, it get too much greasy and then pimples. Noticing the physical behavior myself I come to realize that I’m more suited in veg type. And veg type diet showed improved bowel movement and helps get rid of minor constipation (problem with less stool removal) that i suffer. But I never go purely veg simply because I am not sure of the possible link (as scientifically approved) between my health state and the specific diet regime I practice.

Well in the website I found these distinct points in his chart to note myself being blood group A. That blood group As should better go for pure, fresh and vegetarian foods. So it is well suited to what had happened to me and I found many other points very true to my experiences. As I have come across the approved patterns of diet chart and all, I am very determined to keep a check on myself regarding his advice. his system is very simple, applicable and interesting too.

Cold sores

Sometimes when I woke up I saw my upper lips being swollen gradually and then after it get small blisters filled with transparent fluid. I wonder if it is bitten by some insect or is it of any allergic reaction. It comes and goes in few days by itself before I consult any doctor. Well I m curious what the hell insect or allergen that comes occasionally when I was asleep. And foolishly I found it to be a cold sore (according to resemblance in symptom) which is said to be very common and caused by herpes simplex virus. I went through many sites studying its causes and cures.
Well it affects small areas but is very communicable, it gives a stingy and painful sense on touch, it happens occasionally, and it can spread through direct contact, and is caused by a virus. The most affected areas are lips, lip corners, near and around nostrils. And the effective cure I came across is tea bags and hot water treatment with salt. Before I used to apply some antiseptic leave juice but it shows slow result. Later I tried these tea bags and what I saw is quick result of making those blisters to dry and start healing soon. If you are someone with the same scenario, try using tea bags. Just put spoonful of tea in ¼ cup of hot water and apply it on to affected area.

Common skin warts

As for common skin warts (found in hands, legs other than genital area) you have one of the best herbal medicines in hand. Skin warts is a virus caused skin infection that grows externally on the skin surface making it look bad and ugly. It is scaly or grainy while dry and spongy or powdery while wet or soaked. It is somewhat infectious, and a person can have a number of it. Blood or other by products of the infected area may lead to the spreading. So, it’s good never to let shed blood. Well you have here one of the simplest but most successful herbal and home made medicine to cure it for ever.

Take whole plant of Oxalis dellenii (a wild plant grow as grass and has many species, but Oxalis dellenii is one with yellow flower as shown in the picture) and grind with onion pulp both in raw form.
Apply the paste on each wart by slightly rubbing and let it dry. No need to rub hard that may cause blood to shed, you can wash after drying. And apply it daily for many days according to the number of warts you have. And after that unexpectedly you will see your skin without warts and any marks. Three people in my place have already got completely cured. It’s about three out of three, 100% success rate. If it worked do inform here, I will join your smile.

Well here for the readers concerned with this post I want to add the successful stories. Skin warts is very common in some peoples of some areas. Because it may be or may not be related with ones cleanliness but it is easily spreadable from one person to another. And usually it is considered as caused due to lack of higeine more than an infection.

There are many many so called remedies that comes from many mouths. I wont say all are bad but yes sometimes it is hard to get rid of warts completely with a single method. Some say apply this, do that, do like this and that, even said to apply strong chemical (acid) to burnt it (not recommended at all).

Actually I preferred my medicine to three some people. One was a groom who has a wart in his finger. He was anxious as he was going to get married soon. And I preferred the above method to his fiancée who is my sister. What I heard is that he is cured in few days before his marriage. I myself couldn’t believe it.That was the first person. And another boy also got cured. He had one in his hand.

And the third one is a girl who had about more than thirty small warts in her right hand alone. You can imagine how she might be feeling in public. As usual she wanted to consult professional skin specialist. She was called to do treatment with electric machine which seems to burnt the warts. It take many days to burnt one wart costing her money too every time. Well she had dark scar after burning. I suggested the above medicine referring to the successful stories. She find it hard to believe me, as she listen to me but she wasn’t going practical. And I help her to practically apply it. Under insistance she did it for about two months.

After that she hardly applies it. But later even after stopping the application she found her warts slowly reducing in size and then after few days all of it vanished without leaving a scar. Imagine HOW HAPPY she might be…..:)))!

Winter skin care tips

I have found some common tips from many skin care sites. And for reference at any point of time I note them here.

During winter season, Sunscreen of not less than SPF 15 is a must for daily outings.

Use of hot water results to dry skin, it’s good to shower in lukewarm water.

A tbsp honey in the last water 4 shower helps to retain body moisture.

Moisturize at least twice a day. Moisturizer is much more effective on properly exfoliated skin.

Exfoliate them on a regular basis, possibly twice a day. To exfoliate skin 5 tbsp of sugar and 3 tbsp of olive oil works well. You can use suitable scrubs too.

Scrubs works better in dry skin (before flushing water at the face).

For super soft lips apply Vaseline or lip balm on it and dip a soft tooth brush in warm water and gently brush your lips.

And of course a well balanced diet with sufficient water intake will do their bit to keep you beautiful.
