The acne pimple is a teenager's most feared skin complaint. As we all know, these unsightly bumps can appear sporadically throughout one's adult years as well.
A pimple is an oil gland duct which has become plugged but continues to secrete sebum. Pressure builds up within the gland and eventually erupts, emptying irritating sebum into the dermis. The immune system responds immediately. White cells rush to the area on a wave of healing blood, causing the telltale swelling and redness we know so well.
What causes the oil gland to plug up? The Cayce readings pinpointed an imbalance in the elimination and circulation systems as the primary culprit. Since acne is a serious skin problem and is persistent in nature, therapy involves several processes which should be consistently followed.
Improve Your Eliminations
Take one teaspoonful each morning for five mornings, then leave off for five days, and then begin again. Continue this for three or four series and monitor your results.
Here's an odd suggestion but one which was mentioned frequently in the readings. To aid the kidneys and bladder in the elimination process, obtain some plain Coca-cola syrup (which is a natural diuretic) from a health food store. Take a teaspoon of this syrup mixed in a glass of plain water three times a week.
Consult with Your Osteopath or Chiropractor
The focus of the adjustments should be to aid the coordination of the superficial and deeper circulation which is often disturbed in people suffering from acne problems.
Wash Twice a Day
Bathe the affected area thoroughly twice a day with a natural Castile soap or genuine Black and White soap.
Control Your Diet
Eat a diet which consists primarily of vegetables, with small quantities of fish, fowl, and lamb. Avoid all fried foods, carbonated drinks, sweets, pork, and red meat. Limit starches to one per meal.
Two Almonds a Day
One reading suggested eating two almonds a day to avoid blemishes. This simple suggestion is certainly worth a try!
