Why Your Acne Isn’t Just a Skin Issue (And How Herbs Can Help)

acne herbalism Jun 17, 2025

For years, I struggled with breakouts—across my face, back, chest, and shoulders. I tried the creams. The washes. The prescriptions. But nothing seemed to offer real, lasting relief.

Sound familiar?

If you’re like many of the people I work with, you’ve been told acne is just a cosmetic issue—something to scrub away, dry out, or hide. But here’s the truth: acne is a message from your body. And when you start listening, healing becomes possible.

Watch the Full Video: Herbs for Acne: Heal from the Inside Out

In my latest video on the Iwilla Remedy YouTube Channel, I share what I wish I had known years ago:
Acne isn’t just about clogged pores—it’s about what’s going on inside your body.


The Root Causes of Acne

Hormones. Digestion. Liver health. Inflammation. Emotional stress.
Your skin is often the last place to show you that something is out of balance. And in holistic herbalism, we take all of these internal systems into account when supporting clear, healthy skin.

In the video, I walk you through:

  • The top internal imbalances that contribute to acne

  • How the skin is connected to your detoxification pathways (especially the liver and lymph)

  • Why your emotions and stress levels can trigger flare-ups


Herbs That Work From the Inside Out

In Western medicine, the go-to acne treatments often include antibiotics, hormonal meds, or drying topical agents. But these don’t address why the acne is happening in the first place. Herbalism takes a different approach.

In the video, I share two powerful herbal formulas I’ve used personally and with clients to help:

  • Support liver detox

  • Calm inflammation

  • Rebalance the gut-skin connection

  • Nourish the nervous system for emotional resilience

These formulas are built around herbs like burdock root, dandelion, and, aloe among others.

If you're curious about these specific blends and how to use them safely and effectively, head over and watch the full video here.


Herbal Healing is a Journey

Clear skin doesn’t come from waging war against your body. It comes from understanding it.

If you're ready to take a deeper, more holistic approach to skin health, herbal medicine offers a path that’s nourishing, gentle, and aligned with your body’s wisdom.
