Who on here has had success balancing their hormones and getting rid of their acne using herbs? If so, what kind did you take?
I currently take wild yam but havent been taking it long. Not sure if it will help. But I read somewhere that it neeRAB to be Mexican Wild Yam. I also heard vitex is good. There's just so many options I don't know which one to choose. Anyone got any suggestions?
 
I use vitex and evening primrose. It has definitely helped my skin, but hasn't cleared it completely
 
I also use Vitex (Agnus Castus)
One suggestion: cut out all dairy for a month. I'm almost there (still like a little half and half in my coffee), but my nutrionist really thinks its going to do it for me. Get checked for food allergies. Ingesting food you may not know you are allergic to (wheat, dairy, soy, corn, etc) places stress on your adrenal gland, which in turn messes up your hormones.
Try borage oil - Topically on your face and ingest it, either in a smoothie, or buy the capsules and then just prick them open. That's helped me a LOT and it's lightweight, feels sooo good on your face, and fine under makeup.
It's such a struggle - I know my acne is hormonal too and it really stinks. I wish you well!
 
Thanks for the suggestions! I think I may end up switching to vitex instead of wild yam. I'll try to cut the dairy (I'm a dairy nut!!) :D
