Today, Organic Gurlz Gardens will be sharing information on Herbs to Help Fight Acne.
Acne. Just the word it self makes some flinch. But not to fear, for we at Organic Gurlz Gardens of Fort Wayne, Indiana have a few healthy tips up our sleeve…actually right in our home garden! Check out these herbs and recipes that can act as an acne cure.
Turmeric :
An antioxidant as well as anti-inflammatory, Turmeric is something that’s hard to beat.
Curcumin is liable for many of Turmeric’s anti – inflammatory properties.
From Organic Gurlz Gardens, my mommy Becca, has a few suggestions on using Turmeric.
One of the best healthy alternatives you can prepare is to make Turmeric tea.
Bring four cups of water to a boil.
- Add one teaspoon of ground turmeric and reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes.
- Strain the tea through a fine sieve into a cup, add honey and/or lemon to taste.
Some people prefer to add a teaspoon of ginger along with the turmeric. While ground versions are more convenient, it’s worthwhile to experiment with freshly grated turmeric for a more vibrant flavor.

Cloves :
It is a celebrity in the herb world. Know for its Anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant uses, it May also help muscle pains and arthritis pain. Cloves contain eugenol, a mild anesthetic useful for gum and tooth pain, and sore throats. Clove also assists with asthma and bronchitis. Perhaps the most distinguished pro about it is Cloves eliminate intestinal parasites, fungi, and unfriendly bacteria.
My mommy from Organic Gurlz Gardens has this recommendation on using Cloves :
Put 1–3 drops of clove oil in a tall glass of water or non-plastic water bottle, and mix. This adds a nice, spicy taste and is surprisingly refreshing.
You can certainly put more than 3 drops in once you’ve become used to it, but don’t overload — too much and your could get stomach upset. Clove is often used in spice mixes and tea mixes as well, or you can get cloves (they are a small, dried flower that looks brown and sharp) and grind them fresh for use in your dishes.
