Breaking Out? - Organic Acne Treatments are the only way to go!

You've seen it before. Too many times than you wish to count. Big, ugly, should-be-named, PIMPLES.

They appear, and usually at the most inconvenient of times.

We don't claim to be tree huggers  or hippies, but we do know that putting harsh chemicals on your face and into your body to cure Acne is NOT the way to go.

We don't often think of it, but our skin is the largest organ in our bodies. It reflects the state of our entire system and is usually a good indication of our internal health.

If you are breaking out like crazy, we recommend starting off with some of these tips:

1. Drink at least 4 quarts of water a day. 
2. Try Taking Black Current Seed Oil, Borage, or Primrose Oil daily. You can get them at a healthfood store, or cheaply through us.
3. You may also want to think on trying NatuCLEAR Organic Acne Treatments, Acne Supplements. They are fairly inexpensive, and help tremendously in clearing Acne, 100% organically. 

If you're breaking out, organic is the way to go.

Homemade Organic Eczema Cream

All of us here at Elysium Organics are delighted to share this with you. For all of our Herbalists in training this recipe is a MUST try! One of our head herbalists was on vacation and had an outbreak of her Eczema, but didn't have any of her herbs handy and came up with this recipe. We wanted to share as this recipe can be used as a daily skin moisturizer and preventative for eczema flareups.

HOMEMADE ECZEMA CREAM

Items needed:

• 1/4 cup of organic oats
• 3/4 cup of organic coconut oil
• Few drops of rosemary oil {optional}
• 1 tbsp of olive oil

Recipe:

1. Finely grind oats to a powder/flour consistency and set aside. {You can use a blender, food processor or a Magic Bullet type of appliance.}
2. Over a low heat, melt the coconut oil in a pan until it has a liquid consistency. 
3. Add in a few drops of Rosemary Oil. {If you choose to add it.}
4. Add ground oats in the pan and mix until well blended.
5. Now, pour the olive oil into the mixture until blended.
6. Once all ingredients are mixed, remove from heat and pour in to a small storage container.  Let it harden for several hours.

Apply to problem areas and feel the healing process almost instantly!  This recipe lasts for a long period of time so enjoy!

• WHY OATS? Oatmeal contains healthy fats. When they come into contact with your skin, these fats help to add moisture to soften and repair your skin.
• WHY COCONUT OIL? Coconut oil works wonders as a moisturizer for all skin types, especially dry skin and aging skin, leaving you refreshed and looking wide-awake. The fat in the oil helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles without any irritation.
• WHY OLIVE OIL? It is a great skin moisturizer, in part because it contains linoleic acid, a compound not made by the body, but which prevents water from evaporating.
• WHY ROSEMARY OIL? Rosemary essential helps in toning your skin and removing dryness.

Acne Supplements and Organic Acne Curing Herbs

Acne is an ongoing problem through out America. While many have said there is no connection between diet and Acne, many have seen results by supplementing their daily diet with certain Herbs and Supplements. Below are a list of the best Acne Supplements that Elysium Organics and NatuCLEAR have experienced with great results. 

ACNE SUPPLEMENTS

Essential Fatty Acids:

Essential fatty acids are necessary for optimal health. However, the human body cannot produce the Omega-3 fatty acid which plays an important role in reducing the effects of acne. Thankfully, we can get Omega-3 from the foods we eat. If by chance, the smell and taste of fish and other Omega-3 products bother you, you can always rely on supplements.

• Cod Liver Oil (contains Vitamin A & D)

• Omega-3 Supplement

Vitamins & Minerals:

The following vitamins and minerals have been proven to reduce inflammation & skin oiliness, and repairing damaged tissue.

Remember when taking a multivitamin to check the product label to assure you’re receiving the recommended dosage of the following vitamins and minerals. Also, research, research, research when supplementing as some vitamins and minerals in high dosages can become toxic, so it’s vital to not exceed the recommended dosage:

• Vitamin-A:

10,000-15,000 IU DAILY (NOT BETA-CAROTENE). VITAMIN-A HELPS REDUCE SEBUM  (OIL ) PRODUCTION AND IS IMPORTANT IN MAINTAINING HEALTHY SKIN.

• Vitamin-B:

TAKE A B-COMPLEX SUPPLEMENT DAILY. B VITAMINS MAINTAIN HEALTHY SKIN AND MUSCLE TONE, PROMOTE CELL GROWTH, AND ENHANCE IMMUNE AND NERVOUS SYSTEM FUNCTION.

• Vitamin-C:

500-1000 MG DAILY. VITAMIN-C HELPS PROMOTE HEALING AND CELLULAR REPAIR, ENHANCES THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, AND IS BENEFICIAL FOR OVERALL SKIN HEALTH.

• Vitamin-D:

400 UI OR 15 MINUTES OF DIRECT SUNLIGHT DAILY.

• Vitamin-E:

400 IU DAILY. VITAMIN-E BOOSTS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CERTAIN ENZYMES NEEDED FOR HEALTHY SKIN AND ENHANCES THE ABSORPTION OF VITAMIN-A & SELENIUM.

• Zinc:

15-30 MG DAILY. ZINC PROMOTES WOUND HEALING, INFLAMMATION CONTROL, AND TISSUE REGENERATION.

• Chromium:

400 MCG DAILY. CHROMIUM AIDS IN GLUCOSE TOLERANCE WHICH IS ESPECIALLY BENEFICIAL FOR THOSE WITH SUGAR-INDUCED ACNE.

• Selenium:

200-400 MCG DAILY. A MULTIVITAMIN WITH SELENIUM SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT. PEOPLE WITH SEVERE CASES OF ACNE HAVE BEEN FOUND TO BE DEFICIENT IN SELENIUM.

Herbs:

Elysium Organics and NatuCLEAR are advocates for the use of herbs. We love being organic and natural, since out bodies are made of the same earth . Back in the day, various herbs have been used for their restorative or medicinal properties throughout. 

• Neem:

TAKE 2 NEEM LEAF CAPSULES DAILY. NEEM (AZADIRACHTA INDICA) IS VALUED IN AYURVEDIC MEDICINE FOR ITS VARIED HEALING PROPERTIES DUE TO ITS ANTI-BACTERIAL, ANTI-FUNGAL, AND ANTI-VIRAL CAPABILITIES.

• Milk Thistle:

150-250 MG 2-3 TIMES DAILY. MILK THISTLE HAS PROTECTIVE EFFECTS ON THE LIVER AND GREATLY IMPROVES ITS FUNCTION. (DO NOT TAKE WITH MEDICATIONS THAT LOWER BLOOD SUGAR.)

NatuCLEAR provides an Internal Acne Supplement containing these, and other Acne Fighting Herbs.

Probiotic Digestive Support:

Probiotics are live microorganisms that are beneficial to our health by improving our intestinal microbial balance. These microorganisms are known to aid in reducing inflammation, and provide immune support by inhibiting pathogens and toxin producing bacteria. The following are sources of Probiotics:

• Acidophilus Supplements

• Coconut Kefir:

A FERMENTED DRINK MADE FROM COCONUT MILK OR YOUNG COCONUT WATER THAT HAS ADDITIONAL MICROORGANISMS THAT MAY BE ABLE TO COLONIZE THE INTESTINES AND BENEFIT HEALTH FURTHER BY PROTECTING THE INTESTINE AGAINST DISEASE-CAUSING BACTERIA.
