Natural Treatments for Acne

If there’s one way to tell how a person’s body is functioning internally simply by looking at them, it’s by looking at their skin. Clear, smooth, healthy skin typically indicates that a person’s internal systems are working fine. However, if you’re suffering from a particular skin condition such as acne, it can indicate the presence of other issues that have manifested themselves physically in this way. Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic can provide naturopathy for skin problems of many types. We aim to help you regain your confidence through clearer, healthier looking skin. If you are struggling on your own, our naturopaths can help you regain healthy, radiant skin with treatments that work from the inside out.

Some of the Causes of Poor Skin

Poor skin can typically be attributed to any of the following functions of the body:

• The liver and/or digestive tract is ineffective in clearing toxins and metabolic wastes from the body.
• Weakened immune function and inflammation.
• Inadequately managed stress.
• Circulation and lymphatic flow is lethargic.
• Dietary habits are poor.
• Insufficient or over-the-top personal hygiene.
• Hormonal fluctuations.
• Nutritional deficiencies.

Naturopathic treatment for acne and other skin issues can help to alleviate some of the factors in your life that might be manifesting themselves in your skin problems. Make an appointment with one of our practitioners to find out more.

Seven Tips for Better Skin

Achieving healthier skin starts with simple, actionable steps that align with your lifestyle and goals. At Melbourne Natural Medicine Clinic, we guide you through personalised strategies to enhance your skin’s vitality while addressing root causes. Here’s how our approach complements your journey:

1.Fuel your skin from within: Just as your car needs quality fuel, your skin thrives on nutrient-rich foods. Our naturopaths craft tailored dietary plans to target acne and other skin concerns, ensuring every meal supports your complexion.

2.Move for glow: Daily exercise isn’t just for fitness-it’s a powerhouse natural acne treatment. Thirty minutes of activity boosts circulation, flushes toxins, and revitalises skin texture. Let us help you integrate movement into your routine for visible results.

3.Manage the stressors in your life better: Learning to deal better with the things in your life that cause you the most stress can help you to reduce inflammation and positively influence digestive and immune function, all of which can result in better looking skin.

4.Brush your skin: By brushing your dry skin prior to showering, you’ll stimulate lympathic circulation and assist your body in clearing away the build-up of toxins that can exacerbate skin conditions.

5.Wash your skin with pH-controlled gels: We are covered in a variety of skin microbes, many of which promote healthy skin. Washing too often or using alkalising soaps can strip some of these good microbes from the skin’s surface, making it easier for pathogenic organisms to cause infection.

6.Supplements: In addition to your naturopathic medicine for acne or other skin conditions, your naturopath can recommend a personalised regimen of nutrition supplements that may enhance your health and address the causes of your skin ailment – whether it’s related to your digestive system, immunity system or another issue.

7.Topical treatments: Working in conjunction with natural treatments for acne, topical treatments prescribed by your Practitioner may help to provide rapid relief.
