Here is what Acne can say about your health
Jan 22, 2021

Reading time 3 min.

In Chinese Medicine, it’s thought that acne that appears on various areas of your face reflects health issues on various areas of your body.

For instance, acne on your upper cheeks is a response to stress in your lungs or respiratory system.

Smoking is one of these reasons. So, a nice indication of what organs need attention and care is to just look where your acne is.

Upper Forehead

Digestive System and Bladder

Drink enough water to flush, watch your diet, do not include greasy foods and refined sugars. If you’re craving deep fried fatty foods, eat avocado or include a tablespoon of coconut oil to your meal.

Make sure you eat enough fresh organic fruits and vegetables. Some of the best antioxidant rich foods or drinks are green tea, warm lemon water, and fresh berries.

If your diet is not rich in organically fermented foods such as kimchi, sauerkraut, kombucha, or kefir, think of supplementing with a probiotic capsule every day. Most health food stores have probiotic capsules.

Lower Forehead

Heart

Our heart is a big organ that pumps blood through the whole body. It has a difficult job and can become simply stressed because of bad diet, inactivity, and different mental and physical stresses. If you have pimples on your lower forehead make it a point to do regular cardiovascular exercises. Eating pomegranate and coconut oil will as well make your heart healthy and help clear this up.

Ears

Kidneys

When kidneys are not taken care of, you might find big, painful pimples on your ears that just won’t disappear. Kidney issues are typically caused by not drinking enough water and eating too much sodium.

Some other kidney destroying habits include:

- often postponing going to the toilet

- drinking too much coffee or alcohol

- mineral deficiencies such as magnesium

- eating too much animal protein

- sleep deprivation

- excessive refined sugar

This is as great of a time as any to point out that vendors such as Subway, who announce their products as being “healthy” have an excessive amount of sodium added to almost everything on the menu.

The next time that you take a look at their nutrition claims with highlighted low-fat content, take your time to concentrate on the sodium column. Besides, Subway adds genetically modified soy to almost all of their foods. If you want healthy kidneys it’s best to avoid fast food in general, even the “healthy” restaurants, drink more water, and eat more parsley which is an amazing detoxifier.

Eyes, orbital area and between the Eyebrows

Liver

Oiliness, redness, flakiness and pimples between the eyebrows can mean that your liver might have been overworked and in dire need of a cleansing. Reduce greasy foods loaded with vegetable, soy, and canola oil, alcohol and pasteurized dairy (or dairy in general). Stop eating late at night as well. If you’re craving a late snack take a spoonful of raw honey. This will let your liver rest while you’re sleeping. Eat more of these during the daytime to cleanse the liver (always choose organic root vegetables):

- garlic

- grapefruit

- green tea

- carrots

- beets

- leafy green vegetables

- lemons and limes.

Upper Cheeks

Lungs and Respiratory System

Stresses to the lungs are likely to result in flare ups in the upper cheeks and even break your capillaries. Even if you’re not a smoker you may have noticed an upper cheek breakout due to:

- asthma

- allergies

- lung infections

- living in a polluted area.

The best thing to do is to avoid smoking and second hand smoke.

Lower Cheeks

Gum or Teeth Problems

Gum or teeth issues might contribute to acne in the lower cheek area. Be sure to eliminate refined sugar and soft drinks from your diet. Oil pulling is a great habit to start if you’re experiencing any kind of gum or teeth issues. It’s also a nice idea to eat plenty of fresh fiber rich fruits and vegetables to strengthen your teeth and gums from chewing honest natural foods.

Sides of the Chin

Hormones and Genitals

This mostly impacts women. Flare ups on the sides of the chin are a perfect indication of hormonal imbalance. This can be because of menstruation, birth control, or a diet high in soy. Sometimes, even emotional or physical stress can lead to hormonal imbalances. Get enough sleep and make a habit of meditating or doing yoga to keep the mind concentrated and stress-free. Be sure to take lots of essential fatty acids such as Omega 3s. Some herbs that can help balance hormones include:

- licorice

- schisandra

- holy basil

- maca

- burdock

- red raspberry leaves

- rhodiola

- milk thisle.

- Green tea is also a brilliant anti-androgen.

Chin

Small intestine and stomach

This is usually caused by a bad diet and food allergies. If your diet is appropriate you just might not be digesting the nutrients you put into it. We were always told that we are what we eat, which is true to an extent.

More correctly however, we are what we can digest. If your gut is lacking probiotics and absolutely out of balance from not eating organically fermented foods or taking probiotic capsules, it won’t matter how much great wholesome food you’re consuming.

The nutrients will just pass right through you. Refer to the upper forehead section to learn more about what to eat to get your gut working the way it should.

Additionally stress, lack of sleep, and dehydration can wreak havoc on your stomach and small intestine. Getting a good nights sleep, drinking plenty of water, and addressing your stress by making lifestyle changes and practicing yoga/meditation are great non-dietary ways to address your chin acne.

50 & Beyond Health & Wellbeing Discovery Session

Join me for a comprehensive look into what it will take to stay physically and mentally strong as you move through the second half of your life.

We all want to age without the fear of suffering from a chronic illness and still have the energy and strength to live the life we want.

The number one reason people fail to stay healthy as they age is the inability to consistently follow the right habits and behaviours for health transformation.

Through working with 1000's of clients over the last 20 years, I have been able to develop a coaching program that not only looks at nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress management but also how to develop the right mindset needed to succeed.

Having a plan is not as important as having the ability to implement it.

If you are someone who struggles to follow healthy habits consistently. Or you are someone who wants to learn more about what they need to do personally to avoid chronic illness. Then my 30-minute Discovery Session is ideal for you.

From the 30 minutes we spend together, we will go through in specific detail what it is you can do today when it comes to what to eat, how to get the most from exercise, how to develop a powerful sleep routine and how to build a healthy environment needed to live a healthy life.

And with over 20 years of coaching experience in the health & wellness industry, I have witnessed firsthand what it takes to consistently follow the right habits and behaviours for lasting change.

Expect to hear things that will challenge what you have always been told about nutrition, exercise, sleep and stress management. As someone who is over 50 and is stronger, fitter and healthier than I was in my 20s, 30s, & 40s, I am well-placed to know what works and doesn't as we move through this period of our lives.

Check Your Vibes! Find out how much Positive and Negative energy you have!

The Energy Leadership™ Index (ELI) assessment is the proprietary, research-backed assessment tool, created by iPEC, that takes something abstract, like the way a person views the world, and turns it into something tangible—a metric that you can see and feel and even reevaluate in the future.

You’ve probably taken personality tests, like Myers Briggs, DiSC, and Enneagram, but this is different. And transformational.

The ELI is an attitudinal assessment tool that captures how an individual currently perceives and approaches work and life. This means that you learn to make change happen in real-time when you encounter a moment of self-doubt, fear, or frustration.

With the awareness and insights gained through the Energy Leadership Index debrief, you have the opportunity to reshape your attitudes and worldview and transform your life into the one you envision.

Our worldview is the result of a combination of many different aspects: our past experiences, level of consciousness, perception of situations. Each of us has a unique combination of all seven levels of energy which, in turn, creates your typical viewpoints, perceptions, and beliefs about life.

Learning about your energetic makeup can help you to reframe your perspective, shift your consciousness, and increase your energy level as a result. Discover your unique energetic makeup by taking an ELI Assessment!

This comes with an hour debrief - As an FYI the price is what it is because there is a price to me- I have to pay the institution for the assessment and the scoring. Then I'll walk you thorugh your results.

Oxygen to the rescue! Great for Mental Health, Brain Injury, Detox, inflammation

Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers are one of the oldest and safest treatments available. Oxygen detoxifies and heals. I was introduced to Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers (HBOC) by Dr. Amen, a world reknown Psychiatrist. Oxygen is great for ADD, Mood Disorders, Trauma, Insomnia, Brain injuries, Wound healing and Inflammation.

This is from Dr. Amen's Clinic: "If you are struggling with a mental health condition, recovering from a concussion or traumatic brain injury (TBI), or dealing with cognitive or memory problems, hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be for you. People all over the world have reported recovering from a variety of conditions and experiencing dramatic improvements with this type of popular therapy."

Most people will feel a difference off of one treatment, especially if you typically have trouble sleeping. You will sleep like a rock.
