Treatment of heat-toxic type acne that covers the face.

Patients with heat-toxic acne are usually greedy, especially like to eat meat, greasy and spicy food. Although they may occasionally be concerned about the sudden increase in acne caused by getting angry, it is difficult for them to change such eating habits. So how to treat heat-toxic acne?

Traditional Chinese medicine prescription:

1. Take 50g of fresh mulberry leaves every day, decoct them in water and take them three times. Effectiveness can be seen after 3-7 days of continuous use.

2. Use appropriate amount of fresh mulberry leaves, mash them and apply them to the acne for 30 minutes each time. Take once a day for a week to see results.

Notice:

After drinking mulberry leaves, you can stop taking them once the fire has subsided. Mulberry leaves are cold in nature, so girls should not drink too much of them.

Suitable diet:

1. Strawberries, pears, tomatoes, grapefruits, and green leafy vegetables are rich in vitamins. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, these foods can clear internal heat and improve oily skin and acne.

2. In addition, you should also eat more foods rich in vitamin A (pork liver, shellfish, etc.), vitamin B6 (beans, nuts, fish, etc.), and zinc (pumpkin seeds, whole wheat, oats, etc.) to supplement nutrition for the skin.

Skin care product recommendations:

1. It is best to choose safe and additive-free plant-based skin care products

2. Chemical makeup (isolation, BB cream, chemical sunscreen, etc.) should be used less or not at all. If used, be sure to remove it with makeup remover oil at night, and then clean it with a cleansing product to keep the pores unobstructed.

Theoretical analysis:

On the surface, acne is a chronic inflammatory skin disease caused by excessive secretion of sebaceous glands, blockage and inflammation of hair follicles and sebaceous glands. However, traditional Chinese medicine believes that some acne is the product of excessive internal heat. There are too many toxins in the body, and the skin cannot excrete them all, causing a traffic jam, blocking the intersection, and oil accumulates, which can lead to a major acne outbreak. This has a lot to do with improper diet. In addition, an irregular lifestyle and bad mood can also cause the body's detoxification function to be unbalanced. Once the body is out of balance, negative emotions will in turn be aggravated, so people will think that people who are prone to acne have a bad temper.

Traditional Chinese medicine also believes that the causes of acne can generally be divided into four types: heat toxins, stomach heat, blood heat, and damp toxins. Heat toxins are mostly caused by wind and heat evils in the lungs; stomach heat disease is in the spleen and stomach; blood heat is mostly caused by blood stasis due to excessive liver fire or liver depression turning into heat; and damp toxins will attack the internal organs, including cold and dampness and damp heat. People who are prone to acne and have a hot temper often have internal heat and strong liver fire.

Mulberry leaves are the dry leaves of the deciduous small tree mulberry of the Moraceae family. They are cold in nature, bitter and sweet in taste, and belong to the lung and liver meridians. They have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, clearing the liver and reducing fire, and dispersing wind and heat. They have a good effect on acne and chloasma.

Clinically, mulberry leaf decoction was tried to treat 258 cases of acne, with an efficacy of over 89%. In addition, some people have used mashed fresh mulberry leaves for external application and achieved satisfactory results.
