If you havent heard until now about sulphur as being used for treating acne naturally, youll be in quite for a surprise. Did you know that Sulphur was a common home remedy to treat acne at the turn of the previous century? Well, it was news to me too, and as Im always interested in everthing related to acne (I have, for example, even old acne related advertisements from early 1900 on my blog), I was quite interested to read in one of my grandparents old newspapers a home remedy tip on using sulphur (called bold-sulphur) that apparently cured acne. Ive researched on Google about it, and apparently its no longer considered a viable alternative to treat your acne, because acne treated with sulphur returned with a vengeance after a while, but it was fun researching nevertheless.
Here is what my newspaper had to say about treating acne with sulphur:
In the treatment of the various forms of disfiguring, itching and burning eczema, such as acne, ringworm, there is nothing known that can take the place of bold-sulphur. It effects such prompt relief, even in the aggravated eczema, that it is a neverending source of amazement to physicians. For years, bold-sulphur has occupied a secure position in the treatment of cuttaneous eruptions by reasons of its cooling parasyte-destroying properties. Bold-sulphur is not only parasiticidal, but antipruritic and antiseptic therefore invaluable in overcoming irritable and inflamatory infections of the skin. While not always establishing a permanent cure, yet in every instance it instantly stops the agonizing itching, subdues the irritation and heals the inflamed, raw skin right up, and it is often years later before any eczema erruption again appears.
Interesting how the search for a viable natural treatment for various illnesses, such as acne, has occupied our minds from early years on, and it has never stopped. Even if some of the cures turned out during the years to be a flake, such as this one, it is still memorable to mention, because it was a step in the right direction.
