good detoxifiers, thus they are useful herbal remedies for acne
Burdock root is a great herb that helps to purge the toxins trapped in between, or near the layers of the skin. This makes it another one of the good herbal remedies for acne relief.
Buy the raw herb from a good supplier, and make a tea using the standard method for making a decoction. To do this, place the herb inside a wire teabag, and let it soak in cold water for an hour or so. You can even let it soak overnight if you want. After soaking, take that pot of water and bring it up to a low simmer – after that, simmer for about 15-30 minutes. If you don’t have a wire teabag, you can just place the herb directly in the pot, and filter it through a coffee filter or fine strainer afterwards. Use 1-2 tablespoons of raw herb per pint of water.
Although burdock is one of the herbal remedies for acne which may be useful, to a certain extent, when used alone, keep in mind that because burdock is an herb that purges toxins, it is best used in conjunction with a natural detox program.
If your body is clogged up, the purging effect of the burdock can cause it to expel toxins through the skin instead of the colon and kidneys. The effect of the toxins moving through the skin can cause various rashes, severe itchiness, and other skin symptoms. Other than the severe unpleasantness, this is not a serious issue. However, if that does happen, it’s a sign that your body’s elimination channels are clogged up.
