Getting sufficient essential fatty acids is of prime importance in clearing acne. It’s these fatty acids that help to control production of excess androgens – hormones that surge during teen-age times It is androgens, which causes excess sebum oil to clog your hair follicle and contribute to creating your acne.

The three fatty acids you need to get daily are:

·omega-3

·omega-6

·omega-9

When you are deficient in these essential fatty acids, you will have,

·A weaken immune system

·Inflammatory disorders

·Poor skin

·Skin eruptions and other wounds that won’t heal

·Sebum production increases (this is what happens

when you have acne)

·Sebaceous glands size increases

Eating essential oils are necessary to provide you right oils that are used in sebaceous glands. These oils can come from straight vegetable oils or from oils in specific foods such as nuts and seeds.

I’m a great believer in alternative therapies and I use Reikí in my practice to calm patients’ fears and help them relax. You may not be familiar with Reikí, so let me explain—it’s not voodoo.

Reikí is a technique that allows everyone to tap into an unlimited supply of “life force energy” to improve health and enhance quality of life. The knowledge that an unseen energy flows through all living things and is connected directly to quality of health has been part of wisdom of many cultures since ancient times. The existence of this energy has been verified by scientific experiments, and many doctors and dentists now consider role it plays in functioning of immune system and healing process to be of great value.

Reikí is a simple, natural, and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. Reikí treatments feel like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through you. Reikí treats whole person including: body, emotions, mind and spirit, and creates many beneficial effects including relaxation. When used in dentistry, Reikí naturally relaxes body and calms feelings of anxiety. As a Reikí Master, I can transfer this beneficial energy to a patient before or during their dental treatment to relieve anxiety. Patients tell me they feel a sense of peace, security, and well being making their dental visit a more pleasant experience than they ever expected.
