Natural Acne Medicine for You
ACNE 101 The term “acne” refers to the presence of pustules and papules. Pimples, blemishes, spots, and zits are the most common acne injuries. It is important to know which areas you are exposing your skin to. You may be exposing most of your skin into it without your direct knowledge. Are you too stressed? Are you eating way too much unhealthy stuff? There may be certain foods that cause outbursts in your skin. Or is it a mixture of so many detrimental factors?
Beware. Your cosmetics have been labeled as “acne Catch-22″. Some examples like mineral oil, petroleum and sunflower oil do not permeate into the pores. Again, dead skin cells will mix with oil and clog your pores, then trap bacteria inside. The duration of acne’s disappearance (if any) is unpredictable. For most people’s cases, acne diminishes over time and tends to disappear or at the very least decrease after one reaches one’s early twenties.

Ganoderma or Ling Zhi) is often considered a panacea ” cure-all ” in Traditional Chinese Medicine. While it may not be literally accurate to refer to Reishi as a cure-all, the fact that it appears to act as an inflammation modulator may be one of many reasons for its age-old veneration in the Orient.
Reishi frequently gets prescribed in Traditional Chinese Medicine for its analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic effects. Much recent research appears to validate this traditional use, as the majority of studies have yielded positive results. While looking through published articles on Reishi and arthritis, I found only two studies that showed inconclusive results, both of which were conducted by the same team of researchers. (1,2)
