Natural Herbal Acne Ointments That Actually Can Work As They Should

Natural Herbal Acne Ointments That Actually Can Work As They Should. In the U.S. alone, there are tens of millions who suffer with pimples. Many of these people treat acne using chemicals such as benzoyl peroxide.
But on the other hand, there is an ever growing of people who prefer to use herbal acne medications over traditional remedies. Usually, herbal remedies have many less side effects, and aren't as harmful as some of the prescription treatments.
But the problem is that the USA does little to monitor the herbal supplement industry. Unlike traditional chemical medicines, herbal treatments are not required with any type of mandate to be clinically proven to aid in any way, or even to be harmless. A frightening example of this is the ephedra related deaths, and ephedras subsequent ban that happened in the not so distant past.
This minimum results in a wide variety acne products on the market. All of which claim to heal, protect you from, or even cure acne with few, or no, side effects.
The fact of this situation is, there are only a couple of herbal acne medications that are scientifically proven to work. Traditional chemical medicines are still the most effective in stopping acne.
There are only 2 herbal treatments that have been clinically proven to assist in stopping acne, tea tree oil and green tea cream.
Tea tree oil is an oil from nature, derived from the Melaleuca alternifolia, a unique type of tea tree found only in Australia. While it has been used for hundreds of years by the native aboriginals as a treatment for just about anything, it has only recently been accepted by modern medicine as being a viable anti-bacterial agent.
Even though tea tree oil has been suspected as an anti-bacterial agent for some time, A groundbreaking clinical study was initiated in 1990 by I.B. Bassett, which compared tea tree oil to benzoyl peroxide in the treatment of acne. It was found that tea tree oil is as effective as a 5% benzoyl peroxide solution. It takes longer (6 weeks) for the tea tree oil to be as effective, but people in the research claimed to have none of the side effects associated with benzoyl peroxide, such as redness, skin irritation, or dry skin.
This study has helped tea tree oil become a recognized and legitimate herbal acne medication. However, there is no need to purchase an expensive cream that contains tea tree oil. Just rubbing several drops of the oil directly on the pimple has proven to be the best way to apply tea tree oil.
This was the only herbal pimple medicine that had been shown to work until recently, when Dr. Jennifer Gan-Wong conducted research that shows green tea can also effectively fight pimples.
These findings are relatively recent, and are not yet researched by additional independent studies. However, this evidence does demonstrate that the natural anti-bacterial characteristics of green tea can be an effective medication for acne.
For people who are confused by the over abundance of herbal acne remedies available, there really are only 2 that have been proven to be effective in treating acne. Green tea cream, and tea tree oil. While many other natural acne medicines may be good to moisturize the skin, or reduce oils, these are the only two that should be considered truly effective acne medicines.. Article Source: http://arsharing.com
