ground nutmeg with room-temperature milk on the affected area for twenty
to thirty minutes. Poultice prepared from ground orange peel and water can
also be applied to the affected area for acne relief. Other poultice
preparations of benefit may make use of ginger, honey, ground sesame oil,
salt, lemon juice and turmeric as their active constituents. Astringent
cleansers (Organic Apple Cider Vinegar swabs) help prevent and treat acne
but may cause dryness, itching and redness.

applied to the affected area. Treatment with turmeric (antibacterial herb)
is an age-old therapy of Indian origin for skin disorders. One can also

wheatgrass juice can help fight acne and many other diseases and
