Acne is basically a blockage in the pore which causes bacteria to be trapped and form either a whitehead or a blackhead. While there are many myths that point to diet as a cause of acne, these are unfounded. Junk foods and chocolate are not associated with acne.

It is, however, more prevalent in teenagers when hormones are at their most active. Heredity also plays a large part in who gets acne and how severe it may be. Those who are genetically inclined to acne will often get more severe cases than people who are simply going through a stress induced or hormone induced acne phase. They also may have a more difficult time clearing up blemishes. The blemish that occurs on the skin can be unsightly and embarrassing so prevention and treatment should be the focus.

So far theres never been a time where I havent had great results whilst taking these essences. Theyre not conventional medicine; rather their healing qualities are vibrational and work on the mind, body, and spirit concept.With their unique vibrational qualities, flower essences have been used throughout the ages by many cultures for health and healing. Theyre used to clear, and resolve emotional states and imbalances found within our system by taking drops under the tongue.
