Natural Remedies with Traditional Chinese Medicine
Chinese medicine and herbs get great results for acne. Most adults, male or female, want to have healthy looking skin. One of the common causes of acne and other inflammatory skin conditions (according to Chinese medicine) is too much heat and dampness in the stomach, lungs and intestines creating skin toxicity. Our natural remedies help to promote healthier skin.
Today the majority of adults are under too much stress. Stress factors can exacerbate the excess heat trapped in the body, which then expresses itself on the face. Busy schedules (work, school, sports, complex social lives), adult hormonal changes and poor eating habits could leave one depleted.

| Healthy lifestyle recommendations: |
| Fortifying foods with a high vegetable and fiber content |

| Changing pillow cases every 2-3 days |

Avoid or significantly minimize these congestive foods, the body has a chance to heal and detoxify
| Excess sugars | Shellfish |
| Fatty fast foods such as pizza, pasta, chips and desserts | Rich dairy products (cheeses and ice creams) |

When the dampness in the body is not addressed, the body becomes like a swamp instead of a river; bacteria thrives in this poor condition leading to cystic acne.

| Asparagus | Grapefruit | Mung bean | Watermelon |
