Once
you've gone
down the conventional acne treatments road, and come to a dead end,
you're likely to start walking down the alternative acne treatments
boulevard...
Here
you can visit the acupuncturist, the homeopath, the kinesiologist and
the herbalist, amongst others. I actually tried these alternative
therapies for quite a few years, and although I found some of benefit
to my health, and quite therapeutic, the final result was that I
still had acne.
Alternative
therapies operate on their own systems and theories as to why ill
health happens which is quite different to conventional "wisdom".
Conventional treatments
concentrate on the symptoms, like a dog who looks at the finger
pointing, rather than to WHERE the finger is pointing.
I
have a lot of respect for the practitioners of these alternative
therapies, and particularly enjoyed acupuncture, which usually produced
enhanced well being. However, I would not recommend acupuncture for
acne because it did not work for me, and I feel it doesn't really
attack the root cause of acne in a strong enough manner. Sure it frees
up energy flows and can reduce stress, but overall it left me with no
reduction in my acne.
My
homeopathic therapy was quite interesting. We did a lot of
talking, with very specific questions being asked about my emotions and
my
thoughts on things. A specific homeopathic remedy was then prescribed
at the end of each session.
Very interesting stuff. Yet it failed to clear my skin and after about
a
dozen sessions it got to the point where my homeopath basically said
it wasn't worth continuing.
I
went to see a herbalist a half dozen times over a few months, she gave
me a bottle of some foul tasting herbal liquid each time. It really did
taste bad, but if it had worked, it would have been very simple to use
in my life, a bit like popping a pill. I really didn't notice any
improvement from taking these herbal mixtures.
I actually tried many
more alternative health treatments, but the above
were the most noteworthy. The holistic nature of these treatments, in
my opinion, means that satisfactory results are perhaps more
likely
to occur, compared to conventional acne treatments. But I was still
left feeling frustrated that they
hadn't cleared MY acne.
It wasn't until
I did lots of
research
into biochemistry
that I discovered how to cure my acne.
