7 Incredible Herbs to Eat to Fight Acne

Looking for a natural way to fight your acne? Consider adding
some of these incredible herbs to your healthy diet. While
fruits and vegetables are good for us, we usually overlook
herbs that are higher in antioxidants than most fruits and
veggies. Certain herbs are rich in antioxidants that combat
free radicals, reduce inflammation, and keep skin healthy and
looking young. Throw your chemical-laden creams away and
consider eating some of these herbs that combat acne every
day.

1. Parsley
Parsley is one of the best sources of chlorophyll and Vitamin
C that help you stay young and healthy. Parsley has a diuretic
effect and it helps reduce bloating in your body. Moreover,
parsley helps fight bad skin and breakouts. Add this
wonderful herb to your salads, cook with it, juice with it, and
add to your healthy smoothies. It's not expensive so you don't
have to worry about your budget. Fresh parsley adds a
delightfully fresh taste that you'll certainly love.

2. Basil
Not only does basil help fight acne, it also promotes overall
health. It fights bacteria from the inside out as well as combat
free radicals that lead to inflammation, redness, wrinkles and
acne. Add a few fresh basil leaves to your salad or smoothie,
or use it in your savory dishes.

3. Mint
Peppermint and spearmint have a lot of health benefits to the
body, and they add an amazing fresh taste to any meal or
drink. Mint aids the digestive system and promotes a sense of
health and well-being. It's rich in chlorophyll that combats
inflammation and reduces stress, which both lead to acne. I
add fresh mint to my smoothies, and I also like to have a mint
tea at night. It helps me relax and fall asleep faster.

4. Sage
Although many people hate the taste of sage, it's one of my
favorite herbs that help me fight breakouts. Sage is incredibly
calming and it can instantly reduce inflammation and stress. It
is a great antibacterial herb that fights bacteria that leads to
acne and illness. You can consume it dried or fresh, but if you
opt for a dried sage, make sure you use a little and choose
rubbed sage. You can add sage to stews, soups, or any savory
dish.

5. Cilantro
Known as coriander, a detox herb, cilantro, is another
wonderful herb to eat to fight acne. It helps detoxify the liver
and prevent breakouts, illness, and weight gain. One of the
largest sources of chlorophyll, cilantro helps combat acidity in
the body, induces cleansing, promotes healing, and fights low
blood sugar. Cilantro is also tasty. You can add it to your
smoothies, salads, and savory dishes. It's calorie-free and
inexpensive, so why not eat up?

6. Oregano
Oregano is among the best to combat acne, low appetite, upset
stomach, depression, and acidic blood. It's also incredibly
tasty and it has antibacterial properties and is high in
chlorophyll. Oregano helps reduce inflammation that often
leads to acne and breakouts. Add oregano to your salads,
savory dishes homemade dressings, and sprinkle some fresh
leaves into a cup of herbal tea. Whether it is dried or fresh, it
will give you a lot of health benefits.

7. Neem
You may not know about neem, but it has a powerful
cleansing and healing affect that make it one of the best herbs
to add to a healthy diet. Neem helps combat excess sebum
production and promotes cleansing of your skin cells to help
clear your acne. You can add some fresh neem leaves to your
salad or tea.
