Nearly everyone is unhappy with their acne problems and want some sort of quick fix solutions. Which probably explains the wide and brand filled market in over the counter acne treatments. But, just like any other over the counter treatment, acne rarely goes away with simplistic medication. Which leads desperate legions of teens sitting ...

And I also remember how desperately I tried to concoct acne remedies to get rid of the acne and the demeaning name! The first of these acne remedies grew from a popular misconception. ...

The phrase ‘natural herbal remedy’ has become a very trendy and sought after label in health products today. It seems like everyone is looking for the all natural herbal remedy for everything, which to me is a little disconcerting. So many of these natural herbal remedies are untested, unproven, and very possibly unsafe. Because the FDA restrictions are so much lighter on things marketed as ‘herbs’ as opposed to ‘drugs’, a lot of natural herbal remedy products out there could be dangerous. I’ve never subscribed to the belief that a natural herbal remedy is always better than one designed ...
