GENERAL INTEREST: Natural Herb Better for Treating Acne than Synthetic Chemicals in Prescription Drugs? New Scientific Research

Thyme May Be Better for Acne Than Prescription Creams

Herbal preparations of thyme could be more effective at treating skin acne than prescription creams, according to new research recently presented at the Society for General Microbiology’s Spring Conference in Dublin. Further clinical testing could lead to an effective, gentler treatment for the skin condition…

A herbal treatment for acne would be very welcome news — particularly for acne sufferers who experience skin sensitivity. “The problem with treatments containing benzoyl peroxide is the side-effects they are associated with,” said Dr Gomez-Escalada. “A burning sensation and skin irritation are not uncommon. Herbal preparations are less harsh on the skin due to their anti-inflammatory properties while our results suggest they can be just as, if not more, effective than chemical treatments.”

About

A place to learn about the dangers of synthetic chemicals in the food and environment and how you can avoid them!
_____________________

As scientific researchers, authors and consultants we have studied, published, presented at scientific and professional conferences, and trained clients and the general public about the link between synthetic food chemicals, environmental chemicals and illness (including weight gain/obesity) for over a quarter of a century. Now we are excited to expand our public education efforts in this area by joining forces with a nonprofit multimedia group producing a feature-length documentary and doc-short series on synthetic chemicals in food and the environment. Also in the works: another new book on the topic--this one, a user-friendly, easy-guide to help consumers avoid synthetic and industrialized food chemicals while shopping. Please contact us for information about the documentaries as well as for information about where you can get books, articles, professional consulting and other resources on the topic.
