Press Release Body = Most people who suffer from acne go out and spend good money on
common over-the-counter acne treatment products. The truth is, most of these
products are full of chemicals that can actually slow down the healing of acne, and
irritate your skin, causing farther break-outs.
When an acne product has 20 ingredients listed on it, it can be hard to know if one
of those ingredients is actually stopping you from having success. It can be even
harder when you can\'t pronounce the ingredient, much less know what it is and how it
is going to affect your skin. Most mainstream acne treatments are not only much more
expensive than common household items, but they also don\'t always work as well
either. With that in mind, I will list some basic household items that can work
wonders on clearing up your skin.
Acupuncture for acne, psoriasis, allergies and other related conditions is the
current interest of several study groups, aiming to investigate and validate the
preliminary studies on the effects of acupuncture as a therapy for these conditions.
The first study on acupuncture for acne, psoriasis, allergies was done in 1992 and
focused on acupuncture as a treatment for allergies on skin. Conducted in China, the
small study took 61 patients who are known to be resistant to convenient treatments
and gave them acupuncture treatments instead at an average of nine sessions each.
According to the proponents of the study, acupuncture produced extremely good
results. More than 50% of the patients treated with acupuncture for acne, psoriasis,
allergies experienced remissions and complete healings, while most underwent some
improvement in their conditions. In acupuncture philosophy, there are certain points
in the body called meridians which are known to balance and restore correct energy
flow through the body. By targeting specific skin meridians, the therapy will treat
the blockages and nervous conditions that lead to conditions like acne, psoriasis,
and allergies. In Russia, a different study was also conducted on acupuncture for
acne, psoriasis, allergies, and other related conditions. Like the one done in
China, this study also showed equally good results. According to the findings, 20%
of patients who underwent acupuncture for acne, psoriasis, allergies, and other skin
conditions had remissions. In addition, an approximate 50% of patients showed good
improvements in psoriasis symptoms. Larger studies have also been done in the west.
However, majority of them have given mixed results. So far, there has been no clear
evidence showing that acupuncture for acne, psoriasis, allergies, and other skin
conditions is an effective treatment. But individual cases continue to show
improvement. In addition, some acne and psoriasis patients say that after going
through several acupuncture sessions, their symptoms have shown some significant
improvement. Psoriatic arthritis especially, a painful condition where the joints
are inflamed, is known to improve after acupuncture. And if the treatment is done on
the classical pain controlling meridians, the condition is said to become less
painful. by A Walker http://myacneweb.com
