‘Hormonal’ acne in women

For all women who suffer from acne and think it may have something to do with their hormones, we recommend a 3-month treatment with monk pepper. An excellent medicinal plant, regulating hormonal cycles. You can buy it as pills or capsules.

For women going through menopause, maca, an Andean tuber, may work well with monk pepper. It is a great antioxidant, aphrodisiac and boosts your energy levels.

Take care of your intestines

Our skin also reflects the health of our gut. All the toxins that build up in our gut go straight into our bloodstream and our body tries to flush them out through the skin.

We can keep our intestines clean with the help of a balanced diet and using an ancient medicine: natural warm water enemas.

Another option is a clay compress on your stomach.

• First mix red clay and water together until you get a thick mixture.
• Then spread it over the area of ​​your stomach.
• Then cover it with a cloth or towel, which you can wrap around your entire body.
