Teenage acne

[Buddy]

While I realize there are combinations of cold, damp, dry, hot etc. about which I can't answer, my daughter (17) asked me about TCM remedys for acne. Any suggestions?

I believe cinnamon bark or twigs are good for this, plus it is a nice tea and overall tonic. Topically, tea tree oil is very good for skin projects.

Internally Wheat grass, carrot,grape jucie and a regulated deit.

I think dandelion root, licorice root, and honey suckle would help too.

And it might help to cut down on stressing out if she ever gets stressed a lot.
