10 Home Remedies for Acne
Home Remedy #10: Echinacea
Echinacea is a group of plants in the daisy family commonly known as coneflowers. Found in eastern and central North America, they usually grow in dry or moist prairies and open wooded areas. Researches have been conducted to study the effectiveness of echinacea on the immune system, common cold, and cancer.
Echinacea products vary in composition as they can contain different species of echinacea, different preparations, and different parts of the plant. For acne, Echinacea purpurea, the purple coneflower, is thought to be a potentially effective home remedy for acne as it contains compounds that can kill bacteria and viruses. It is also thought to reduce inflammation and fight off infections. To use echinacea for acne, apply creams containing echinacea to affected areas.
