Even the most effective treatment will take some time, especially if the condition has been allowed to persist. Acne problems may take time to respond to treatment, but eventually they will be overcome. I always see a great improvement when Echinaforce is used, as it increases the body’s own resistance to inflammation and infection. Inflammation processes are reduced and quick healing is to be expected when this remedy is used. Many a time I have heard patients comment appreciatively on how soft and smooth their skin has become after using Echinaforce. This natural antibiotic kills the bacteria in the spot and dries the surface of the skin. Even when the skin is very greasy or very dry, it harmonises and conditions the skin, and therefore I have no hesitation in recommending this herbal preparation for acne vulgaris.
For unusually persistent conditions I also prescribe Petasan, because this remedy promotes quick healing. Petasan is a combination of Viscum album and Petasites officinalis, commonly known as Butterbur, and it is ideal for any nutritional deficiencies, as well as acting to make the skin supple. If the skin problems are related to the monthly cycle in women, and the skin condition deteriorates during specific times of the month, the homoeopathic remedies Ovarium D3 and Sepia D6 are extremely helpful. These stimulate the ovarian function, so balancing monthly menstruation. Sepia will help the yellow spots on the face and will take away the inflammation of the ovaries, any skin rash, excessive perspiration, and warts. An excellent combination for an acne vulgaris problem.
It is also important to take some extra vitamins and vitamin E in particular is essential. I find Nature’s Best vitamin E products excellent, because of their considerable anti-oxidant properties. I have already explained that vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin, occurring naturally as substances called tocopherols, four of which provide vitamin E activity in the body. Of these, alpha tocopherol is the most potent, providing the greatest nutritional and biological activity.
It is important that you choose your supplements with care. Laboratory tests have shown that some vitamin E supplements contain low potencies with poor vitamin E activity. Nature’s Best have taken great care to provide a selection of different vitamin E formulae, derived from
100 per cent pure soya beans and carefully researched to guarantee the highest quality. The anti-oxidant properties of vitamin E ensure protection to body cells and tissues, which helps to maintain the health of the skin, muscles, red blood cells, fatty tissues and pituitary gland. Increased polyunsaturated oils and fats in the diet will cause increased oxidation of vitamin E, so adequate supplies must be available from the diet.
As an informed health enthusiast, it is important that you should know whether your alpha tocopherol supplement originates from nature or from a chemist’s test tube. Why? Because weight for weight, the active alpha tocopherol derived from natural sources is 36 per cent more potent than the synthetic alpha tocopherol. Nature’s Best provide only one vitamin E product containing the dL form. The innovative Hypo E capsules are produced to meet the demands of those wishing a guaranteed, good value, hypoallergenic formula. The rest of the range contains only the natural D alpha tocopherol.
To obtain faster results, vitamins A and D should be taken together. Vitamin A, which is often called the skin vitamin, will help you obtain a better, younger looking skin, as well as healthy hair and nails. Without these vitamins the skin would soon die and begin to appear rough. Nature’s Best provides vitamin A either as preformed vitamin A or as Carotene, both of which are found naturally. This fat soluble vitamin is required for the growth and repair of almost every body tissue. Also a powerful anti-oxidant, it is required for night vision and for the development of teeth in young children. Nature’s Best Vitamin D Plus A combination is another excellent product. Involved in the uptake and regulation of calcium and phosphorus from the intestinal tract, vitamin D is required for healthy bones and teeth. Nature’s Best uses only the natural form – vitamin D3 or cholecalciferol. Two potencies are available: vitamin A 5000 IU plus vitamin D 400 IU, or vitamin A 7500 IU plus vitamin D 400 IU.
