Acne is a skin disorder where sebaceous glands become overactive and an excess of sebum, a waxy lipid necessary for healthy skin, is produced. The excess sebum my lead to non-inflammatory acne called comedones or inflammatory acne called pustules, papules or nodules. The primary factors causing acne are poor diet, inadequate rest and a stressful lifestyle. This can lead to poor digestion, poor circulation, and inadequate lymphatic drainage. Poorly nourished skin with excessive cellular metabolic waste accumulation in the skin may ultimately lead to acne. Other factors leading to acne are genetic factors, hormones, topical applications including cosmetics and environmental toxins.
Your acne treatments with Acupuncture and Alternative Medicine will address a healthy diet and digestion that will provide nutrition that is absorbed into the blood stream; adequate circulation that will transport nutrients to the skin; and lymphatic drainage that will remove metabolic waste away from the skin layer.
