One of the major causes of acne is hormone imbalance.







The first part of balancing your hormones is by regulating their
production.







The second part to balancing your hormones is by effectively
removing used up hormones from the body via the liver.







Both parts play a part in leaving too many hormones in the
system that are responsible for excess skin oil production which
leads to acne by clogging your pores and allowing the growth of
bacteria.







In this article we will see how the liver deals with used up
hormones and how you can help this process so that you don't end
up with too many hormones in your system.







The liver is responsible for deactivating hormones so their
levels aren't too high. This can become a demanding task
considering it must also deal with other pollutants such as car
fumes, heavy metals, smoke, pesticides and all the other toxic
materials that find their way into your body.







The liver can become quite sluggish with all the above stresses
are thrown at it. You want to provide the liver with nutrients
that help stregthen it's function and help it eliminate waste
and used up hormones.







There are many herbs and extracts can that help with liver
function. Alot of research has been done on Milk Thistle. This
extract is excellent for protecting the liver and also improves
its detoxing abilities.







Studies have shown that milk thistle goes directly to the liver
cells and promotes repair and regeneration.







Other beneficial herbs for the liver include: Cleavers, Nettles,
Gravel Root, Golden Rod and Yellow Dock. Many companies have
produces supplements that contain some of these herbs and others
in combination specifically for the liver and can be purchased
from any good health store.







Liver detox kits can also be beneficial if your finances allow.
