Anna's review on the treatment of acne and inflammation on the face with herbs

Hello everyone, my name is Anna. I would like to tell you my salvation story. The fact is that 7 years ago, when I was 20 years old, my face was just strewn with acne at once. I don't know what it was - an emotional outburst, hormonal failure. I didn't understand it then, and I still don't understand what happened. But my face was full of pimples.

As a teenager, I also had acne, but they were few and they were exclusively on the forehead. And at the age of 20, it was acne that appeared on the chin and cheeks, and the acne was huge, red, subcutaneous.

I was so overwhelmed at times, and I fell into a terrible depression. I just cried at night, didn't want to leave the house. At that time, it was such an age when you want to please the opposite sex, lead an interesting life. And I just didn’t have the opportunity to do this, because I was just afraid to see people, I was afraid that they would come close to me, they would see these bumps that I covered with tons of foundation.

I just, like a recluse, once again stopped going to couples. When I was called somewhere, I always refused, I was terribly complex, although I am a pretty girl. What to hide - it spoiled my life. People who have faced such a problem will understand me. It's terrible in fact, it hits self-esteem, especially if you are a young and beautiful girl.

Traditional remedies for acne

As a result, I went to the hospital, I was prescribed some external means. I used these remedies for two months, nothing helped me. I quit, fell into depression again.

Then I heard about the dermatovenerologic dispensary and went there. I was prescribed standard remedies that are prescribed to everyone, such as Baziron, Diferon and Klenzit. I started using. I was told not to expect a quick result.

To be honest, there were improvements, but these improvements were temporary. It got better, but a little, it didn’t go anywhere, nothing resolved, the skin remained bumpy and inflammation still continued to appear, even if not with such a strong frequency. I could not leave the house without foundation, I had complexes.

Tests for hormones

As a result, after that I went to a private clinic, I was sent for hormone tests. I took tests and oddly enough, they were all right. But I was prescribed external treatment. I started using the same products again in a circle.

The doctor convinced me to try again Baziron, Differin - everything is standard. Again, there was a temporary improvement. There was no such thing as acne. Moreover, the cause of acne was not clear. The first time I used Differina for six months, the second time I used it for 3-4 months. But it’s just that hands are already falling when you are fighting for beautiful skin, it’s very difficult not to get upset when something doesn’t help you.

Herbal treatment

By the way, everything was in order with my stomach, I was checked - I didn’t have any dysbacteriosis. As a result, I came to my grandmother for the summer holidays, she, when she saw my face, looked and said: “Do you treat at least something?” I say: “Yes, I’m flying. Here". She waved her hand in the style of grandmothers, said that it was necessary to treat with herbs.

I was very skeptical about this, I was already biased against the use of traditional medicine. But my grandmother convinced me, she said: “You have tried so many things, you won’t get tired of it.” I agreed in the end.

My grandmother herself collected chamomile and tansy in the fields. She said: "You need chamomile, calendula and tansy." There was no calendula, I bought it at a pharmacy, and my grandmother collected tansy and chamomile for me. She explained how to brew. She first brewed such a large vessel for me.

Instead of tonic

I lived with her for a while, and I just rubbed my face. There was no alcohol, nothing, just water, and relatively hot 70 degrees, with boiling water, she said that you should never brew, the beneficial properties disappear. And I started wiping my face instead of tonic.

masks

Then I put the gruel that remained from the tea leaves into the masks. I made masks, added honey there, for example, clay. And I added this herb to it. In general, it worked wonderfully, because calendula has a huge anti-inflammatory effect, I just know from myself. I didn't think the herb could help.

Tincture

I used to think that alcohol is needed, the more alcohol, the better. No, not a fact. Herbs are very good at reducing inflammation. The only thing is that my grandmother still made me the first tincture of calendula. She said that if acne is dotted with inflamed spots, then she made a tincture of alcohol. After that, when I had already left, I bought calendula tincture at the pharmacy and cauterized acne. It really helps a lot.

Tea

grass ice

I also made ice from chamomile and calendula. I either interfered in equal proportions, or separately chamomile or calendula. In the morning, when I woke up, I first washed my face, and then walked, took ice from the grass and rubbed my face along the massage lines.

This is just a wonderful thing, I recommend everyone to try it, because it is a cryo-massage of the skin. This procedure is provided in paid clinics, but here everything is free, everything is available, because if you can’t collect the herbs yourself, you can buy it at a pharmacy, brew everything and make ice. It is not difficult at all, but the effect is wonderful - as if the skin is smoothed out, some kind of temporary effect of even peeling, tones up, it is pleasant to touch it. The greasiness of the face decreases, and in general an even tone becomes over time, as if velvet skin. In the morning I only did it, in the evening it is not necessary, because it has an invigorating effect.

Accordingly, I drank, made masks, lotion and ice. And when was it all over for me? I got better in about a month.- visible changes on the skin, and I could not believe it. At first, I didn’t believe in it so much, and then my friends began to notice and say: “An, are you using something, some kind of new tool”?

I smiled at this and said: “Yes, it’s like no, weed, weed. Grandma advised. Friends laughed, but saw the effect. What struck me, I began to feel more confident - it's true.

It's indescribable. Only people who have experienced the same difficulties and problems as I will understand. As a result, I brought the skin to almost perfect condition.

Badyaga

The only thing I have left are spots and small bumps. How did I deal with these? I used badyagu. Badyagu is such a plant, powder, sold in a pharmacy. You dilute the mixture and apply it on your face. It will pinch, I warn you right away, as if needles are running all over my face. But the effect is worth it - then the whole face will cover, it's like a peeling. Your skin is renewed, blood circulation increases, your face becomes smooth, it is pleasant to touch your face.

After treatment

I was cured then, probably, at the age of 23-24 - that is. at 20 it all started, while I went around all the doctors, all the clinics, finished with herbs. And even now I wipe my face with homemade lotions on alcohol.

The only thing is, if I have single pimples popping up, then I immediately tincture calendula from an alcohol pharmacy. And so I drink only herbal teas and very often I like to drink chamomile. Chamomile, or sometimes a collection of herbs.

She gave up coffee and tea. I think it's all bad. Not only is sleep disturbed, it also has an absolutely adverse effect on the body as a whole.

I hope my story has helped you. I want to recommend that you do not panic, do not go to all the hospitals in a row, but simply try folk remedies. Because sometimes they can really help. I'm not saying that it will help everyone, but it helped me, and therefore I can judge soberly about it.

The only thing is, read the contraindications, because someone has an allergy, someone has some kind of illness. Badyaga, for example, can increase facial hair. Such moments, nuances look, please. And so, in general, I believe that I was cured thanks to this alone. So I recommend everyone to try it. Thanks to all. Goodbye.

And in conclusion, we invite you to watch this 13-minute video, is this the cause of your acne? ...
