Many common strains of bacteria remain unaffected by Neem, however,
two pathogenic varieties that are suppressed by Neem are of particular
interest.
Staphylococcus aureus is the strain commonly associated with
food poisoning, boils and abscesses.
Due to Neem's antibacterial properties, it is effective in
against the bacteria that causes acne. Its anti-inflammatory properties
help reduce inflammation of the skin. Neem also helps repair skin
damage caused by acne.(1)
Acne and Neem
Neem kills the bacteria that cause acne and reduces the inflammation
that makes it so noticeable. Neem-based creams have even improved
the appearance of people who have reddened skin from acne that ended
years before.
To prevent and heal acne, first wash with neem soap or shampoo,
then use a neem face pack to soothe and tighten the skin. Finally,
apply a neem-based cream to
moisturize and condition the skin.

Remember to:
1. Wash the skin with warm water
and a natural soap regularly.
2. Avoid touching the sore areas with
unwashed hands.
3. Use Neem cream three times a day after
washing skin or as often as required.
Diet
Diet plays an important part in healing any dis-ease. Eating fresh
rather than processed food is vital in healing acne. Avoiding fatty
foods, saturated in grease and sugary foods is very important.
Many people take Neem Leaf capsules which enhance overall
health, improves immune system response and supports healthy bowel
function.
Manuka Honey is also a great immune system booster and also
a healthy alternative to artificial sugars.
Cider Vinegar also helps to maintain good health and helps
to prevent the formation of two fatty peroxides responsible for
aging and ill health
Acne
What is acne?
Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the oil-secreting
glands in the skin are clogged and become inflamed or infected.
These glands occur mainly on the face, back and chest, so these
areas are the main sites for acne. Acne is associated with increased
grease production, therefore people with acne often notice and complain
of the greasiness of their skin.
What causes acne?
Grease glands:
These are controlled by the sex hormones and this is why
acne starts at puberty. However acne is seldom due to an excess
of these hormones but is usually due to an excessive response of
the grease glands to normal hormone levels.
Skin bacteria:
The skin of the face and upper trunk, with or without acne,
contains bacteria. These bacteria get into the ducts of the grease
glands where they make chemicals that eventually penetrate the deeper
parts of the skin. This does not mean acne is infectious. It is
due to the action of normal skin bacteria on the abnormal quantity
and quality of grease produced by acne sufferers.
Cautions: No side-effects or health hazards have been noted
at normal doses of Neem. As usual, pregnant or nursing women should
consult their doctor.
Suggestion: Research for yourself. With access to the WWW
these days information is easily found whether it is a pharmaceutical
drug or a natural remedy you want to learn about. Read as much as
you can about the treatments you are prescribed or natural therapy
you are thinking of trying. It's your body and so it should be your
choice and you should be fully informed.. |
