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.

Roasted Garlic Soup Recipe

herbalism Jan 31, 2018
I loooooove this soup! It is savory, creamy and smoky. You would think that adding 5 bulbs (yes bulbs, not cloves) of garlic to any recipe would be overpowering, but nope, not here. Garlic is indeed the star and pre-roasting it in the oven releases the sweetness, so she doesn't taste too pungent or biting.
  
I make this soup anytime anyone in the house is starting to experience the first symptoms of illness. Colds, runny nose, sore throat, post-nasal drip, upset stomach, sinus congestion, fev...

Nourishing Herbal Infusions

herbalism Nov 15, 2017
Two cups of nourishing herbal infusions does indeed keep the doctor away. For the last year Tami, Niles and I have been consistently drinking Nourishing Herbal Infusions. These are strong water-based herbal extractions that are made with a lot more herb than your standard infusion or tea. I'm talking 1 ounce (or about a cup) of herb to 4-6 cups of hot water and steeped for at least 4 hours. We always steep ours overnight.


While Tami and I enjoy tea and standard infusions regularly, what prompte...

Immunity Bone Broth Recipe

herbalism Oct 27, 2017

With winter and the holidays approaching it is the perfect time to starting thinking about making your own stock. This is our base recipe for homemade, nutrient-rich beef and chicken broth, which is healthier, tastier and way more filling than store-bought stock.

The addition of roots and 'shroom, Astragalus, Burdock, Dandelion and Reishi help support your immunity, improve liver function and much more. While medicinal (as are all herbs and spices), they are mild tasting, yet add to the recipe ...
