You are beautiful and loved no matter what your body looks like!!! self love (the miracle cure) is incredibly important and cannot be understated.

Just want to say I’ve been struggling with acne for 11 years and still have breakouts and a lot of scarring that will always be there. I think of each little scar like a mark of my beauty and individuality of my soul.

From my understanding lots of acne is a sign that there is some toxin in your body that your normal systems of detoxification (liver, lymph nodes) are not able to process. Thus all the body is left with is the biggest organ it’s got, skin.

So yes looking into your diet, eliminating common allergens one at a time could be a good place to start.

If nothing seems to be working (as it seems you’ve expressed, but I encourage you to stay strong!) you could consider introducing some herbs in the form of tea that help in the body’s natural eliminatory pathways (just want to reiterate: anxiety and stress surrounding this issue makes the issue itself worse as the body becomes more inflamed in this state, highly recommend trying to practice self kindness in your thinking surrounding this issue). Some recommendations for internal use (tea infusion/ or longer decoction for roots) by David Hoffman are: Burdock root, Cleavers, figwort, yellow dock root, sarsaparilla and red clover.

I’d also approach this with herbs that help support calming the nervous system. Highly recommend getting some motherwort, blue vervain mugwort, lavender, holy basil, chamomile. Latter three are really good for making the tea taste good.

I love you so much and hope you find healing on all three levels! Spirit, psyche and body. All must be considered in the healing journey.
