Hi Jeanette
I hope you don't think I'm stalking you (!!) but I was just flicking through the posts and saw your question on acne. I have always thought that acne was a sign that your kidneys are stuggling but I'm not entirely sure. I found these words on the Alchemycal Pages website:
"It is necessary to understand that skin conditions of every kind signify that the body is seeking to excrete waste products through the skin because the organs which normally perform this function are tired, weak and stagnated."
"...Therefore we have to eat and live in the manner which will allow for the cleansing and detoxification of these organs. We accomplish this by adopting our macrobiotic dietary habits and doing the Ginger Compress regimen on our abdomen...
Another useful skin cleanser for women only is the Daikon Hip Bath...."
So continue with the macro diet - it will do your skin a lot of good. Perhaps consider also doing a ginger compress/daikon hip bath series. For more information on ginger compresses here is a useful link:
