Treatment
Alternative treatments for acne focus on proper cleansing to keep the skin oil-free; intermittent fasting; eating a good diet; an elimination diet where the individual avoids alcohol, dairy products, smoking, caffeine, sugar, processed foods, and foods high in iodine, a mineral which appears to contribute to acne.
Supplementation with herbs that are blood cleansers or blood purifiers is recommended. These herbs strengthen the action of the liver and the kidneys, helping with detoxification and excretion.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has a particular understanding of baldness that is different from the allopathic view. TCM recommends foods to eat and others to avoid, herbs to treat hair loss, and special hair massage.
