Chamomile tea works great as a natural remedy for blemishes and acne

When it comes to the occasional blemish or breakout, many of us are quick to run to the nearest drugstore to purchase chemical-laden face washes that actually do more harm than good. But there is an ancient natural remedy that most people are not aware of, that most of us can find in our kitchens, and that is readily available in every grocery store's tea section!

Chamomile, used as an anti-inflammation and anti-fever herb since ancient Egyptian and ancient Greek times, is made into a pleasant tea beverage when the dried flowers of the chamomile plant are infused in hot water. Based on numerous studies about the consumption of chamomile tea, there are amazing benefits for the insides of our bodies, including reduction in cancer risk and reduction in thyroid issues.

Chamomile tea is also very effective as an anti-inflammatory and calming remedy when rubbed onto our skin. For many people, simply rubbing chamomile on a blemish or breakout will reduce the redness and the severity of the breakout. Working both as a healing agent and as a anti-inflammatory, chamomile will help battle acne naturally! Many chemically-laden acne washes will actually worsen redness in a breakout because of the harsh ingredients, that we would never want to ingest.

With chamomile tea, one may prepare a cup and drink it for all of the internal benefit of ingesting chamomile; and then, one may actually use the tea bag itself, instead of using a "cotton pad", to apply the soaked up chamomile liquid to the problem areas on the face or body. One or two gentle swipes is enough to let the skin absorb the healing benefits of chamomile tea. For best results, keep some chamomile tea in a jar (but be sure to drink it before the day is out as tea does go bad), and apply the tea to problem skin areas in the morning, at mid-day, and at night.

So, give chamomile tea a try next time you experience a blemish, and see if this natural remedy works for you!
