Coriander which is also known as Cilantro is also an excellent way to remove the inner heat built up in your liver which causes acne. Coriander can be served raw or cooked depending on your preference as it has a unique taste which you may or may not like before it is cooked. If you choose to cook the coriander, make sure you don’t over cook it as the herbal effects of this plant will be wasted.

If your acne is REALLY bad, try having a vegetarian meal with coriander and watermelon for dessert. Take a hot shower, get plenty of sleep and you’ll notice the acne will improve significantly.

Acne

Acne is the most common skin disease. It is a disorder resulting from the action of hormones and other substances on the skin’s oil glands (sebaceous glands) and hair follicles. Nearly 17 million people in the United States are affected with acne.

Acne is not a serious health threat but severe cases of ruptured pimples can cause scars. Most common sites of acne are on the face, neck, chests, back, and shoulders.

During puberties, it may take the form of a comedo, an enlarged hair follicle. Whiteheads (which stays under the surface of the skin), or Blackheads (which rise to the skin’s surface and look black) are the two forms of comedo.

Acnes may cause slight swelling of the skin, also known as pimples.

Types of pimples are:

• Papules – which are small, pink bumps
