Acne

Causes of acne are commonly related to hormonal imbalances, particularly in adolescence, poor digestive function, and diet. In my experience the skin itself is not a major factor, although a predisposition to an oily skin will worsen the condition. Food intolerances have a major impact, and a poor digestive system that is not eliminating waste efficiently and allowing toxins to be reabsorbed back into the body are a common cause. Addressing this is key in treating acne, and also in protecting ones health from future problems that these toxins can contribute to.

Commonly used medication, such as antibiotics and other medications, can further compromise the digestive system, despite the fact that they do often give temporary relief. Then when discontinued the problem returns with vigour.
