constipation related acne?

Question

I've had an acne problem for 14 years and tried EVERYTHING!! dieting, detoxing, medications, all types of face washes, topical creams, proactive, antibiotic treatments and the list goes on...
I read in a book that if impurities aren't passed through the bowels quick enough (I have irritable bowel syndrome so I'm constantly constipated) that they can come out through the skin in the form of acne but the book didn't say what this is called and gave no other information. Has anyone heard of this? What is it called? How can it be treated??

Hi Tiana

Here are some real answers on skin conditions. Remedies at the bottom. Cleansing the body of toxins is the key. Especially a colon cleanse! Educate yourself on detoxifying the blood.

Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "What is your skin trying to tell you? Often the skin is a metaphor for deeper issues and a way for your body to send up a red flag to warn you that all is not well underneath. When our skin is unhealthy it is usually a reflection of the internal state of our bodies, and is often a sign of poor elimination of toxins and waste products. Most of us are embarrassed by skin problems such as rashes, rosacea, boils or acne, especially in places where others can see our imperfections. The skin is the body's first line of defense against the environment. It has to deal with the effects of weather, sun , cold, heat, dryness, humidity, scrapes, bumps, soaps, detergents, chemicals, perspiration and dirt of all kinds. It is a wonder that our skin stays healthy most of the time! We can help our skin deal with this onslaught by optimizing our general health and by protecting our skin from harsh environmental exposure. Western medicine generally treats skin eruptions with either antibiotics, cortisone, or antifungal preparations. These medicines may alleviate the skin problem temporarily, or occasionally for good, but do not address the source of the problem. Putting a lid on skin symptoms without getting to the root of the imbalance may even result in suppression, that means the imbalance may be driven deeper causing more serious health problems later without ever strengthening the underlying vital force of the person. Fortunately, naturopathic medicine offers a wide vareity of effective treatments for skin problems."

Judyth Reichenberg-Ullman N.D. - "Your skin is a reflection of how well your body is eliminating the toxins that build up on a daily basis. Chronic skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis stem from a combination of genetic factors, immune stress, dietary deficiencies or sensitivities, and the accumulation of toxins in the body. For our skin to be radiant and clear, it is very important that the other organs of elimination (kidneys, liver, lungs, and colon) are cleansing the body effectively. If not, the skin will be overtaxed, pores will become clogged, and eruptions of one sort or another will result. Here are a number of steps you can take to improve your body's overall elimination wtih specific emphasis on your skin."

Detoxification is a normal body process of eliminating or neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Fasting is the world's most ancient and natural healing mechanism. Fasting triggers a truly wondrous cleansing process that reaches right down to each and every cell and tissue in the body.

Natural Cures

1. Fruits and Vegetables for Acne: Carrot & spinach, celery & watercress, grapefruit juices are all useful to combat acne.

2. Unwholesome Foods: Acne, a prevalent problem among teen-aged boys would not be possible in our society if our foods were wholesome. A most sad and disgusting sight is the pus-filled pimples due to inner toxicity --- wastes trying desperately to escape through the face. This condition often turns a gentle face in the blossom of youth into a waste dump of pimples, pus and subsequent pock marks which can be prevented. The tons of acne medications and prescriptions sold annually act only on the effect of the harmful food, and not the cause of the disease, malnutrition. The traditional teenage meal, a grease burger, french fries and a milk shake or cola simply does not provide enough nourishment for anyone, let alone a boy going through puberty to adulthood. Our highly processed foods are devoid of hormones found in fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. Must do a colon cleanse to rid of all the toxins in the body, which eventually get into the blood and cause acne and all other diseases.

3. Cabbage: Apply a lotion of freshly prepared cabbage juice preceded, if desired, by the application of leaves. The eating of cabbage leaves or juice is also helpful.

4. Lemon Juice: Skin problems such as acne... will often respond to a treatment of lemon juice. For blackheads rub lemon juice over them each night.

5. Black Walnut: Externally, Black Walnut is nearly a miracle worker in cases of ...acne, dandruff, boils, itch, shingles, ringworm--we could go on, but you can see that you can use Black Walnut whenever a skin disorder appears! The tincture is an excellent first-aid remedy for wounds.

Best of health to you

Cheers

Answer 3

Acne is caused by hormone levels, and not caused by impurities. However, the better your overall health, the better your hormone levels might be! I would consider talking to a doctor about how to better control the constipation caused by your IBS. I know there are several medications you can take but the answer might be as simple as plenty of fiber and water. And hydration is good for your skin!

Answer 5

unfortunately i cannot provide you with an answer, but I think I might have the same problem, and it occured to me these might be connected. However, a thing I haven't tried but read that it does wonders even to people on a deathbed,who then miracleously get better is to do the (I don't know the term in english) mechanical cleansing of your intestine. Basically you're on a special diet and the procedure has to be repeated for a few days. .

Answer 6

when you are constipation.. your stools get stuck inside your intestines.. stools are meant to be watery.. when you are not drinking enough water. the body will then seek water from other sources of the body. it is then the stools water will get re absorbed back into the body. as the stools water is dirty, body will attempt to purify it by filtering the impurities through the skin.

being constipated itself brings a lot more problem then it seems and people tends to ignore it.

better get it cure soonest.

Answer 7

I do not think its related to acne. I think that you do not eat the right foods. Trying talking to a health food professional and get their diet recommendations. You might be able to get both problems resolved.
