How to stop your acne with nettle tea

For years, people that had acne had to endure it as they simply went through puberty. But those days are now over.

There are many TV and magazine ads for acne products which promise incredible results and pharmacies have entire sections dedicated to treatments to take away those zits.

But let's say you don't wish to go down the chemical path, which is often drying and traumatic for the skin? Suppose a natural remedy appeals to you or perhaps is the only option?

For instance, when pregnant, the use of salicylic acid (a main ingredient in the fight against acne) has to be avoided. What then?

Through the years we seem to have forgotten that nature contains a few tricks that can often be a lot better than the chemical alternatives. And Nature has a trick for acne.

Nettle tea has been shown time and again to assist in the relief of acne and other skin ailments. It is an anti-inflammatory substance and its powerful detox properties clean out the tea drinker's kidneys and blood, vital keys in obtaining and maintaining healthy skin.

Remember, what you eat and drink is directly related to your all around health including how good your skin looks. Check out the skin of someone who eats a lot of fast food!

Nettle tea is easily prepared at home or can be acquired cheaply from a local health store. It is suggested to drink four cups of nettle tea a day so as to obtain the best results for eliminating acne.

Drinking nettle tea also will help get rid of other skin conditions like eczema.

Remember though, while nettle tea is natural, a few people respond to it differently so make sure you take some time and work your way up to four cups each day.
