Natural Ways To Detoxify Your Insides, To Cure Your Acne On The Outside

At some point in everyone’s life, acne becomes a problem. For some, it happens as a teenager, for others, it can strike in adulthood. For the more unlucky, it’s a problem that starts young, and continues throughout your life. It’s a problem no matter how old you are, how long you’ve had it, or how many times or ways you’ve tried to rid yourself of it.

Normally, people treat their acne on the outside. Creams and ointments, scrubbing and exfoliating. I’ve written about these in the past, and I agree, they are very important for controlling the acne you have now. Much like taking cold medication will help with the cold you have right now. But topical creams may not stop acne from occurring, if the problem you face is deeper down. While this isn’t true for everyone, in this article, we’ll talk about some examples of what you can do for your insides.

There are many causes of acne, from blocked pores, to oily skin, stress and hormones. (It’s that last one that strikes teenagers the most.) However, it can also be caused by toxicity inside you. I’m sure you’ve seen products on the shelves of natural food markets (or on television), claiming to detoxify your body and helping you to reclaim yourself. While I wont recommend any specific product, I do agree that the key to a healthy outside is a healthy inside.

The three easiest things to do to help detoxify your body involves what you eat.

First is to eat fresh vegetables, such as broccoli, broccoli sprouts, cauliflower, onions, garlic, artichokes, beets, red and green vegetables. If you are familiar with the “color wheel” of vegetables, then this is what I’m talking about. . Most of these foods are things you probably already eat on a normal basis, just focus on eating them more, and eating them well. Eating plenty of fresh, whole foods, will help you in two ways. Not only are you eating foods that will help cleanse you, you aren’t eating foods that are bad for you in the process. It’s better for you in both directions.

Second, is the things probably not already in your diet. These include items like Ginger, Kelp, and many teas, such as Chickweed or Green tea. Ginger is good for the kidney, bowels, and blood circulation, and helps to remove toxins from the body. Kelp is often cited for helping in a variety of ways, and it a good source of vitamins and minerals in it’s own right. Kelp has been called “nature’s multivitamin” and can be treated as such. Finally, teas can be used either as a drink, a rub, or as a way to soak in a steam bath when brewing.

Third, and probably most basic, is water. Drink plenty of water per day. I’ve often heard the idea of drinking 8 cups (64 oz) of water a day, but I’m not convinced that makes sense. I’ll bet you and I have different weights and measures, so there’s no way that you and I need the same amount. The closest advice I’ve heard is to drink half of your body weight, per day. So, if you weigh 150, try to drink 75 oz of water a day. It seems like a lot, but your body needs it. Your body needs the circulation to clear waste from your bloodstream. And, if tolerable to you, drink it at room temperature or warmer.

This covers the basics of how to treat your acne by detoxifying yourself. Sometimes, curing the inside is the way to cure the outside.
