I was prescribed Advil for my acne at the age of 17. After a few months, it stopped working. I visited my dermatologist and was prescribed a higher dose of Advil.

It made my acne worse.

I visited my dermatologist again and he prescribed me another drug that had harmful side effects.

Since then, I’ve stopped going to dermatologists altogether. Instead, I started researching about acne and how to cure it naturally.

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It often causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples, and usually appears on the face, forehead, chest, upper back and shoulders.

Even though acne is not a serious health threat, severe acne can lead to disfiguring, permanent scarring which can be upsetting to people who experience it.

Acne is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages. For some people, acne may continue into adulthood. The good news is that there are many treatment options available today that can help you get rid of your acne permanently. I’ll discuss them below in detail but first let’s understand what causes acne:

Take a look at your medicine cabinet and you’ll find a lot of different pills, capsules and other oral drugs.

You might have Advil to relieve pain… Tylenol for headaches… Valium for anxiety… Xanax for panic attacks… Zoloft for depression… and antidepressants like Celexa, Lexapro, Wellbutrin and Prozac.

And you may also have some vitamins and supplements like fish oil, vitamin D and probiotics.

Then there are the creams, serums and lotions in your bathroom: benzoyl peroxide for acne… Retin-A for wrinkles… hydrocortisone cream for rashes… and some synthetic vitamin C products to help protect against UV damage.

That’s a lot of medications! And it’s common to see people with pretty bad acne that still use both oral drugs AND topical treatments. In fact, many doctors will prescribe oral contraceptives (birth control pills) or antibiotics to fight acne! This can be dangerous as it creates an imbalance on the gut flora which is the origin of several diseases.

You may have heard about the amazing benefits of eating fermented foods but do you know how to make them? Fermenting foods is one of the oldest methods of preserving food.

The bacteria that ferment food are good guys and they multiply in your gut, helping to protect you from other bad bacteria. The process also makes vitamins and minerals more bioavailable and produces enzymes, which help us digest our food.

It’s easy to get started with lactofermentation. This method preserves the food and enhances its nutritional profile. You can find step-by-step instructions for lactofermentation here along with some delicious recipes for getting started.

If you’d like to incorporate lactofermented vegetables into your diet, consider making homemade sauerkraut and kimchi (yes, there is more to kimchi than just cabbage!). These are great additions to any meal, a healthy snack or an excellent garnish on sandwiches, tacos and salads. Just remember to only eat a few tablespoons at a time since it may take some time for your body to adjust.

Add this recipe for lactofermented salsa to your repertoire; it’s a really easy way to make your own salsa using natural ingredients.

The liver and kidneys are responsible for cleansing the body, but they need some help from time to time. In order to keep these organs running in tip-top shape, it is essential to give them what they need to cleanse your body of toxins. While there are many products on the market that claim to help your liver and kidneys cleanse your system, many of these products contain harmful chemicals that can actually do more damage than good. Here are a few natural remedies that you can use at home to help your liver and kidneys flush out toxins.

Antioxidants are another great way to help your liver and kidneys flush out toxins. Some great sources of antioxidants include green tea, berries and dark chocolate. All of these foods contain polyphenols which fight free radicals that cause cell damage. These foods also provide a good source of fiber which will help to keep your digestive tract healthy as well.

Drinking plenty of water is one of the best natural remedies for helping your liver and kidneys flush out toxins. Water helps to flush out toxins by removing waste from your body through urine and feces. By drinking at least 8 glasses of water each day you will help remove waste from your body and this will help keep your digestive tract moving smoothly. Drink more water if you feel const

Lactofermentation is a natural process of preserving and enhancing the nutritional quality of foods. Raw milk products are preserved longer, and become more digestible, when they are fermented. Lactofermentation increases the amount of bioavailable vitamins and minerals present in foods. For example, Vitamin C levels in lactofermented dairy products can increase by 30% to 50%.

In addition, lactofermented foods increase the body’s ability to absorb calcium. A number of studies have shown that fermentation may also detoxify phytic acid, a substance found in grains and legumes that inhibits mineral absorption.

Finally, lactofermentation provides probiotics to our intestinal tract, which make it more difficult for bad bacteria to populate in our bodies.

Fermented foods are easy to make at home – after all, our ancestors were eating them long before there were refrigerators! You can also buy many fermented products commercially (for example, sauerkraut or yogurt).

Skin care is one of the most important things you can do for your health, especially in our modern world. You see, your skin absorbs up to 60% of what you put on it.

If you’re putting on commercial moisturizers and creams, you are very likely ingesting toxic chemicals and carcinogens.

And if you’re using commercial acne products, you could be doing a lot more harm than good.

One of the biggest problems with commercial skin care products is that they contain ingredients that actually damage the skin barrier function. The skin barrier function is essential to protecting your body from environmental toxins and pathogens. Without a healthy skin barrier, your body becomes much more vulnerable to infection and disease.

The bacteria that grow on your skin are very important for maintaining healthy immune function and keeping bad bacteria in check. Our modern hygiene practices destroy the good bacteria on our skin which allows bad bacteria to flourish. It also damages the skin barrier function by removing the protective oil layer (sebum).

Now that you have your homemade lotion bars, it’s time to try out some of the acne remedies you can use on your skin. I’ll give you several ideas, but before we get started, lets talk about the causes of acne.

Acne is a common skin condition that affects many people around the world. Acne occurs when tiny holes in the skin become clogged. These holes are called pores. Each pore is an opening to a follicle. A follicle contains a hair and an oil gland. The oil released by the gland helps remove old skin cells and keeps your skin soft. When the gland produces too much oil, the pores can become clogged, creating an environment where bacteria can thrive and acne can develop. Other factors also contribute to acne, including hormones and diet.

Most frequently found on the face, neck, back, chest and shoulders, acne can cause emotional distress and scar the skin. The scarring occurs as a result of chronic inflammation resulting from the body’s attempt to heal itself in response to invasion by bacteria or injury to the tissue caused by picking at inflamed lesions or squeezing pimples (which should never be done). While there are many myths concerning what causes acne and how it can be cured, there are some things
