Welcome to Ancient Medicine Today where we  share powerful information to transform your  health, because we believe food is medicine.  Today, we&#8217;re going to talk about a subject  that I believe touches virtually everyone,  and it is acne.  Acne and blemishes obviously affects those  in puberty, teenagers in particular, men more  than women.  But as you can see in this picture, females  are also prone to acne and it not only can  destroy your self-esteem but it can lead to  the use of dangerous oral and topical medications  in addition to meaning something more than  skin-deep.<\/p>\n<p> Bottom line, if you have acne, there&#8217;s internal  issues.  And we&#8217;re going to share with you how to reduce  pimples and acne no matter what age you are,  because I know plenty of people that are in  their 30s, 40s, and 50s that still get breakouts.  You don&#8217;t need to necessarily turn to medicine  first because we believe food is medicine.  Folks, one of the most popular acne medications  that was prescribed when I was a child, teenager  rather, was Accutane.  Accutane has now been shown to cause inflammatory  bowel disease.  So we want to make sure that we fight acne  the natural way.  And today on ancient medicine, I&#8217;m going to  share with you eight proven acne fighters.  So if you know anyone who needs this information,  make sure to click that share button right  now.<\/p>\n<p> Get this information to them because we are  here giving you natural alternatives to transform  your health.  Number one, eliminate gluten.  Acne, folks, originates here.  Your skin is a reflection of your internal  environment, particularly your gut.  If you have severe acne, I recommend you eliminate  that sticky protein in wheat, rye and barley.  Just do it for two weeks and see if you don&#8217;t  reap great results.  I actually do believe grains can be healthy.  I recommend sprouted or sourdough, and there  are some heirloom varieties of gluten-containing  grains.  But if you&#8217;re dealing with acne, your teenager&#8217;s  dealing with acne, cut out the gluten, no  wheat rye or barley, and I believe that is  a good start to eliminating some of the inflammatory  conditions internally that erupt on the skin.  Number two, no dairy.  Now I am a big fan of dairy, raw, pasture-raised,  fermented, A2, all those cool things.  But I believe many people that have skin issues  are sensitive to a protein that is in almost  all dairy called &#8220;beta-casein A1.&#8221;  Without getting into too many details, milk  can be deleterious to your skin.  If you&#8217;ve got breakouts, try to eliminate  both gluten and dairy, you will be amazed  at the results, and it&#8217;ll start to show up  or rather not show up in as little as a week,  but give it three weeks and you&#8217;ll see improvements  in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p> Now, if you were wanting to consume some dairy,  fermented is always better.  So a true yogurt, kefir, amasi, or a raw cheese  is going to be better than a milk or an ice  cream.  We know there&#8217;s lots of alternatives but the  heart of improving your skin, in my opinion,  involves reducing or eliminating gluten and  dairy, so your gut can be free and your skin  can be beautiful.  Number three, consume fermented foods.  Pictured there, are fermented veggies.  Fermented foods contain organic acids and  probiotics.  Again, it&#8217;s all about the gut.  I&#8217;m telling you, you get your gut straight,  your skin will be beautiful.  And if you have skin issues, sure some people  have oily skin, sure it is genetic.  In my case, I suffered with some acne, my  dad had acne, his dad had acne, but you know  what, my son is not going to have acne because  we are doing great things for his health to  allow him to cleanse and keep his gut in good  order.<\/p>\n<p> So consume fermented foods, there are some  really wonderful brands.  I&#8217;m here at the Dr. Axe studio in Tennessee.  And last night when I arrived, I had a delicious  sauerkraut and raw pickle treat, and that  is so good for the gut, lactobacillus plantarum,  a probiotic in sauerkraut, great for the gut  and for the skin.  Number four, tea tree essential oil.  This is amazing for acne.  Tea tree oil can be applied either directly  to blemishes or you may want to dilute it  in a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, or  olive oil, or almond oil, or rosehip seed,  whichever oil, you have avocado, because it  is pretty strong.  I often use tea tree oil directly, but you  want to be careful around the eyes, and you  want to make sure just to use a little bit.  If you already have oily skin, adding more  carrier oil might not be ideal.<\/p>\n<p> But tea tree oil, melaleuca oil is absolutely  amazing.  It is clinically studied to help destroy the  bacteria that feast on the imbalance of oils  in your skin because acne is about the gut.  But it&#8217;s also about an imbalance in hormones  and oils which is why people say acne is prone  to happen for women around their monthly cycle,  and certainly for teenagers in the throes  of puberty.  Bacteria are involved, they&#8217;re not the only  cause.  Inflammation&#8217;s there, it&#8217;s not the cause.  I really believe it&#8217;s the gut.  I believe its hormone imbalance.  I believe we can improve all of it.  But folks, here&#8217;s the deal, with acne, you  just feel like you want to do something topical,  I think tea tree oil, as well as many other  essential oils is a great way to go because  it is antimicrobial to the Nth degree.  We&#8217;re here on Ancient Medicine Today discussing  eight proven acne fighters.  So if you&#8217;ve got breakouts, you&#8217;ve got blemishes,  nothing has worked.  Stay tuned, but also share this message with  others.<\/p>\n<p> There are so many people who need this information.  If you&#8217;re liking this, click your &#8220;like button.&#8221;  Certainly, share this information with others  that need it.  The fifth acne fighter, another essential  oil called frankincense.  Tea tree oil is great to destroy bacteria.  Frankincense oil is great as an anti-inflammatory.  That is an amazing one-two punch for acne.  In fact, why not mix them both?  Take a little bit of tea tree oil, a little  bit of frankincense, you can mix it again  in olive oil or coconut oil, that is an amazing  dab for blemishes at night.  Again, essential oils are strong, so you want  to avoid the eye area.  Frankincense essential oil can be used internally,  as long as it&#8217;s labeled as a dietary supplement,  and certified organic.  I recommend two or more drops of frankincense  oil three or more times a day, internally,  to reduce inflammation, and help build a healthy  environment in your gut which will lead to  healthy skin.  Speaking of anti-inflammatories, none are  better than turmeric.  Consuming turmeric as a spice in a supplement  or in an infusion or a tea is absolutely amazing.<\/p>\n<p> It&#8217;s great for the gut, and it&#8217;s a powerful  anti-inflammatory in its own right.  I recommend consuming turmeric every day to  support that inflammation balance in your  body.  I think turmeric is a great secret weapon  to fight acne, and with its anti-oxidants,  to promote beautiful skin.  Number seven, the seventh acne fighter is  probiotics.  Now, we talked about fermented foods, but  you can also consume probiotics and supplements.  When it comes to acne, I believe the probiotics  you want to look for are called &#8220;soil-based  organisms.&#8221;  I&#8217;ve used these for nearly 20 years, and I&#8217;ve  seen amazing results in people that had skin  conditions.  So taking a probiotic daily along with consuming  fermented foods are a great way to get probiotics  into your diet.  And number eight, could be my favorite food  for your skin, bone broth.  Consuming bone broth with its collagen, chondroitin  and glucosamine, can be anti-inflammatory.  Consuming hyaluronic acid can be great, not  only for your joints but also for your skin.  It is a beauty product supreme.  Those are absolutely amazing, and can make  a big, big difference in the health of your  skin.<\/p>\n<p> I recommend consuming one to three cups of  bone broth a day.  You can make it.  We have recipes on the draxe.com website.  You can buy it at your local health food store,  grocery store, or you can consume a protein  powder made from bone broth, which is what  myself and Dr. Axe do each and every day.  Make sure to get it in.  It is the ultimate food to boost your internal  and external health.  I&#8217;m here, Jordan Rubin for Dr. Josh Axe, Ancient  Medicine Today, eight proven acne fighters.  Millions of people are struggling with acne.  You know that because you see the infomercials.  You see the commercials for pharmaceuticals.  Acne is an issue, it destroys your self-confidence.  It&#8217;s really, really hard for people to deal  with this.  But it means more than just your skin.  Acne is an external reflection of your internal  environment.  And we gave eight tips on how to transform  the health of your skin, reduce blemishes  and acne.  I&#8217;m going to go over them real quick.  Number one, eliminate gluten.  We want to remove this offensive protein that&#8217;s  found in wheat, rye and barley.  It helps your gut, and it will reduce inflammation.<\/p>\n<p> Number two, reduce dairy, because most dairy  has that inflammatory protein called beta-casein  A1.  If you must consume dairy, consume goat or  sheep.  Yogurt or kefir is a little better because  it&#8217;s fermented, but I would recommend avoiding  gluten and dairy for three weeks, and see  how it improves your skin.  Number three, consume fermented foods.  Sauerkraut, kombucha, kimchi, miso, those  are all amazing sources of probiotics, enzymes  and organic acids that are wonderful for your  skin in all ways, and of course, good for  your gut.<\/p>\n<p> Number four, tea tree oil topically for your  blemishes and breakouts.  Dilute it or dab directly on your pimples,  and it has antibacterial benefits that will  be awesome.  If you&#8217;re really sensitive, remember mix tea  tree oil with what we call a carrier oil.  Number five, frankincense essential oil topically  as an anti-inflammatory.  Great with tea tree oil internally, to help  calm inflammation on the inside.  I believe it is phenomenal.  Two to three drops, three or more times a  day internally.  Put it directly on the skin.  Frankincense is gentle so you may not even  need a carrier oil.  Number six, turmeric supplements, tea, eat  it as a spice.  It&#8217;s anti-inflammatory, it&#8217;s antioxidant,  and it&#8217;s great for your skin, do it every  day.  Probiotics, take supplements to supplement  your fermented food intake.  Look for soil-based organisms or SBOs, because  those probiotics, I believe, work on a deep  level, and it will be reflected in your beautiful  skin.<\/p>\n<p> And last but not least, the eighth acne fighters,  bone broth.  One to three cups a day.  Buy it.  Make it.  Use it in a powder.  Bone broth contains nutrients and beneficial  compounds that are great for your insides  and you&#8217;re outside.  So if you&#8217;re somebody who&#8217;s been bogged down  with acne, or if you have a teenage child,  this information is critical, and we&#8217;re here  every day on Ancient Medicine Today to help  you understand that food is medicine and how  best to use it.
