Basil from my home garden |
Have acne? Get some Basil!
I know I've said it before, but basil is by far one of my favorite herbs... I don't think I could ever have too much basil! Not only is basil one of the tastiest and easiest herbs to
grow, but it is also one herb with a number of health benefits associated with
it!
Who would have guessed? Basil can help you get rid of that
annoying blemish! The oils found in basil help combat the pimple causing bacteria.
It’s really quite simple. All you have to do is follow these 6 quick and easy
steps!
Step 1
Boil about a handful of fresh basil leaves in 1 cup of water
for about 10 minutes.
Step 2
Let the
water and basil mixture cool
Step 3
Dip a cotton
ball into the mixture and pat it on the areas where you are prone to breakouts
Step 4
Wait about
10 minutes
Step 5
Splash with
water
Step 6
Repeat once
or twice daily
Caution: If you are
pregnant or breast-feeding, discuss the use of basil with your physician before
using.
So instead of heading to the pharmacy and spending your hard earned money on expensive acne creams, head out into the garden instead and pick yourself some fresh basil and make your own all natural acne treatment!
