When we are talking about acne natural treatment, this is quite natural that the list will begin with the discussion of herbs and their usefulness in treating various types of skin diseases including acne. There are various valuable herbs which can offer a great solution in treating acne such as Neem (Azadirachta indica), Calendula (Calendula officinalis), Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana), German chamomile (Matricaria recutita), Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra), and Flaxseed (Linum usitatissimum).

There are few plants around the world that possess antimicrobial property. Hence the extracts from these plants are especially beneficial in treating Propionibacterium acnes. This is actually a bacterial strain which is attached with acne. Research shows that tea tree oil has antimicrobial property. Hence it is effective over mild to moderate level of acne. However, there are known side effects associated with the usage of tea tree oil. These may include itching, burning and dryness.

Acupuncture

However, not so common among mass, but a division of acupuncture therapy, known as auricular acupuncture or ear acupuncture is found to be effective in minimizing the effect of acne. Additionally, electro-acupuncture therapy also offers good solution.

It is assumed that the bodily changes occurred during the relaxation process induce the enhancement of the whole system in such a fashion that it promotes overall health. As a result, it alleviates different negative symptoms from the body system, hence the problem of acne as well.

On the other hand, hypnosis is found to function quite effectively on varieties of skin problems inclusive of acne. It is considered as a successful acne natural treatment solution. However, there is no clear hypothesis about how hypnosis works on acne, but it is assumed that it soothes the mind and body; hence it improves the hormonal activity and overall immune system, which actually contributes to the reduction of acne.
