How Mental Attitude and Digestion Affect Acne


Mental attitude

Acne is an expression of toxins in the body that are not being released through normal channels of elimination, so they come out through the skin. Since mental attitude and thoughts cannot be separate from the body, thoughts and feelings are also being expressed as acne.

Negative thoughts and feelings produce chemicals that are toxic acids. Just like toxic acids created in the colon, the toxic thoughts need to be eliminated through the 5 elimination channels

Acne can be an expression suppressed past traumatic experiences. As a child, when you were exposed to experiences that overwhelm you - constant mental, physical, or sexually abuse, you suppress them. So now as an adult, as your defense system weakens, you're not able to completely suppress this information, so it becomes expressed as acne or other skin disorders. Of course, these suppressed experiences can be expressed as other diseases.

Acne can also be related to the emotion of fear or anxiety. It can also be an expression of holding onto old junkie or unpleasant memories. It's a way of holding on to and burying the junkie or toxic memory into your face. It is these memories that are trying to surface and, in an usual way, asking you to face them. Many times, you and other people may not want to remember them or deal with them.

To deal with them requires a lot of strength and help from a psychotherapist.

Stomach Acid

Your stomach uses Hydrochloric acid (HCl) to break down protein. It also has many other functions,

* Kills pathogens and microbes and prevents them from getting into the colon and blood

* Controls the adsorption of B12

* Controls the adsorption of iron calcium zinc, copper, magnesium and most B-complex vitamins

* Controls the adsorption of vitamin C

* Created indigestion

* Prevents constipation

When you have low levels of HCl chances are that you will be susceptible to getting acne. HCl can be increased by using a digestive enzyme that contains HCl.

Pancreatic Digestive Enzymes

When the food you eat passes the stomach and enters the small intestine, the pancreas releases digestive enzymes and bicarbonate to help complete the digestive process.

The bicarbonate helps to reduce the acid strength in the food coming from the stomach. The digestive enzymes digest carbohydrates, fats, and protein.

When the pancreas loses its efficiency and starts to release less digestive enzymes, less food is properly digested. This results in more undigested food reaching the colon. When this happens, the undigested food, if it stays to long in the colon, becomes a source for rotting matter and toxic material. This toxic material can get into your blood and cause skin disruption such as acne.

A healthy pancreas, which provides the necessary digestive juices to digest the food you eat, is needed for healthy skin and for eliminating acne and other skin sores and eruptions.

When you have acne or other skin diseases, they are created when there is an in-balance in your body and that includes many different organs and body processes and systems - your thoughts, digestion, liver, kidney, lymphatic system, lungs, and pancreas.

If you think you're alone in the struggle to ward off acne,
don't fret. It seems that while not everyone suffers from
it severely, many-around 85% of people, go through it at
some point in their life.

Breakouts vary from person to person. So, instead of giving
up, get educated! Here are some tips that you can use to
clean up and eventually clear up that beautiful skin!

The skin, being the body's largest organ, is always
mending, growing and changing to fit our needs and to keep
us healthy. In a way, it's a type of bio-shell, surrounding
you and growing with you. In fact, you shed dead skin cells
constantly. This constant loss means that about every seven
years, your skin has completely molted itself in its
entirety.

So, your skin maintains itself with proper cell function
and reproduction. In order for you to maintain this
delicate balance, you need to be sure to wash your face
daily.

To all intents and purposes, you should actually wash with
soap and rinse well two or more times per day. Rinsing
thoroughly is probably the most important step, even if
soap is not available, especially after intense exercise.

Moreover, another way to take care of the skin on your
face, neck, back and shoulders is to be sure that you wash
your hair frequently. You hair releases oils constantly.
This oil naturally glides down the forehead onto the face,
and from the neck onto the back. This is a real concern
during humid weather and elevated outdoor temperatures.

Men really need to experiment when shaving. Using an
electric razor or a razor with shaving cream can affect the
skin. Find out which is the better option for you. Be sure
to keep your razors clean, lather-up well and use quality
shaving cream and/or soap.

In the same fashion, women who wear makeup also need to be
careful not to use products that irritate the skin. If you
are undergoing acne treatment, especially with topical
products, makeup might actually irritate the more. If you
still feel the need to use facial products during
treatment, be sure to use noncomedogenic (oil free)
products.
