Understanding the Holistic Perspective on Acne

Acne isn’t just a surface problem; it’s a signal from your body that something is out of balance. At Hana Holistic, we view acne through the lens of Chinese medicine, which teaches us that our dietary choices and emotional well-being are deeply interconnected with our skin’s health. This approach isn’t about quick fixes but about nurturing your body and skin with the right nutrients, care, and attention.

Diet: The Cornerstone of Clear Skin

The Power of Fruits and Vegetables: Incorporating a variety of fruits and vegetables into your diet is essential. These natural wonders are packed with vitamins and antioxidants that fight inflammation and nourish your skin.

Cutting Down on Problem Foods: Reducing the intake of refined sugars, red meats, alcohol, and dairy is crucial. These foods are known to increase heat and phlegm in the body, according to Chinese medicine, leading to imbalances and acne flare-ups.

Cheese and Acne: If you’re a cheese lover, opting for whole-fat cheese can be a better choice for your skin compared to low-fat varieties.

Vitamin A and Zinc: Essential nutrients for acne-prone skin include Vitamin A and Zinc. Vitamin A, found abundantly in animal livers, fish liver oils, and colourful fruits and vegetables, is vital for skin health. Zinc, which can help combat acne, is found in foods like pumpkin seeds.

Holistic Foods for Acne

Understanding the impact of diet on skin health is crucial. In Chinese medicine, certain foods can exacerbate acne by increasing heat and phlegm in the body. To counter this, we recommend a diet rich in fruits and vegetables, particularly those high in natural Vitamin A, like pears and carrots. These foods help to balance yang energy, reducing acne outbreaks. Learn more about our holistic diet recommendations in our Health and Wellness Programs.

Natural Treatment for Acne

Our holistic treatment extends to topical remedies as well. We advocate the use of Calendula-based soaps, which offer antibacterial properties and are gentle on the skin. Historically significant in various cultures for medicinal purposes, Calendula can be a soothing solution for acne-prone skin.

Fastest Way to Cure Acne

While there’s no overnight solution for acne, a combination of a balanced diet, proper skin care, and stress management can accelerate the healing process. Stress, particularly common among college students, can significantly impact skin health. Practices such as meditation and deep breathing, integral to our Acupuncture and Wellness Programs, can greatly aid in managing stress and improving skin health.
