Available Holistic Alternatives For Treating Acne. Most people that suffer from acne rely heavily on prescription and non-prescription creams and topical agents to get rid of their acne. It is vitally important for people to realize that most acne problems are simply caused by a buildup of toxins in the body, namely in the colon and lymphatic systems.

Herbs: Tea Tree Oil is a natural antibiotic and antiseptic. You can use it as full strength oil diluted in warm water and apply as you would a commercial astringent, or use one of many tea tree oil soaps. Tea tree will kill any bacteria or virus it comes in contact with.

Lavender: is one of the best herbs to use topically in the essential oil form. Lavender is a natural antibiotic and antiseptic. Sage is antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral. It has natural tannins, camphor and rosmarinic acid, all of which help repair skin. Papaya enzymes help to exfoliate and unclog pores.
Papaya: also promotes healthy skin cell growth, softens and smoothes the skin. For increased benefit, try adding the chewable form to your diet as well.

Quick Reflexology Fact
More than ever before in our history, we are in need of a way to unwind, and care for ourselves in an effective manner. The vast majority of people today are on the go almost constantly. This is only one of the reasons that people are looking for an effective way to escape the stress of daily life. |
Reflexology: Reflexology stimulates the lymphatic system and encourages the release of endorphins; natural feel good hormones to our entire system. Reflexology is based on the belief that applying pressure to reflexes on the feet and hands can effectively treat the entire body. By stimulating nerves on specific areas of the feet and hands, reflexology stimulates blood flow and eliminates toxin buildup in the corresponding organs and systems of the body.
Although reflexologists cannot diagnose or claim to cure a sickness or disease, the results speak for themselves, making it one of the most sought after treatments today. In fact, celebrities pay an arm and a leg for just a few minutes of reflexology.
Not only is it beneficial as a tool for relaxation and stress relief, but it is also an effective tool for improving circulation; relieving pain, and as an immune and nervous system stimulator.

One theory that tries to explain how reflexology works claims that the manipulation of nerve endings in the feet can communicate relaxing signals to areas of the body or organs that need relaxing or stimulating and the technique applied is best compared to a touchtone phone handset that can dial specific parts of the nervous system and send the right messages through to them. |
