Which Essential Oils Help Acne?

The Skin Inc. newsletter and website(1) has brought up a prevalent skincare question: How to offer skincare consumers acne treatments that work. Treating acne requires a highly personalized treatment. And PHYTO5 has provided a method and essential oil based products for acne prone skin since the late 70s.

There are many different types of acne so one cure-for-all is far less effective than a personalized treatment designed to targeting the specific type of acne.

Where a skin manifestation appears is just as important as what is appearing. This is because the skin is an organ with reflexive properties. It’s also not just vital matter but vital energy as well. Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) are founded on these principles.

TCM’s 5–Element theory tells us:

a. Vital energy has five elements (also known as aspects or phases) that need to work together in balance for the harmony of the whole.

b. Each aspect of vital energy regulates both specific physiological functions and a pair of organs. Each pair is comprised of a yin organ and a yang organ.

c. The quality of the energy of these functions and organs shows up on the reflex zones on the skin—throughout the face and body. Since each of the five elements has a yin and a yang aspect, there are ten reflex zones that conveniently appear on the face representing the five pairs of yin/yang organs.

d. Any energetic blockage has consequences or manifestations that appear as imperfections on the skin or as certain body shapes. TCM outlines five groups of skin conditions. Each group is defined as an imbalance or blockage of one of the five elements or aspects of vital energy.

Which Essential Oils Help Acne?

Acne manifests as one of the manifestations of the energy of the Earth element.

If you want to get to the root cause of an Earth skin manifestation like acne, create a rebalance of that element.

PHYTO5 provides three essential oil rich products that make up the treatment phase of a PHYTO5 facial:

• The quantum energetic Earth element Phyt’Ether serum of each of the five elements with a specific blend of natural essential oils that follows the formulation principles of TCM.

In addition to a number of other hero ingredients, the detoxifying essential oils helping to balance acne are essential oils of lemon, orange, cypress and eucalyptus.

It’s important to note though that while each of these essential oils serves a distinct purpose, we combine these essential oils according to the principles of TCM to create a potent synergistic effect.

• Earth naturally colored yellow Clay Mask is also infused with the same essential oils present in the serum.

• Oligo 5 trace mineral spray disperses five essential minerals essential to a healthy skin. It helps create a good and healthy skin canvas able to combat toxicity in skin.

If you use these three products as part of your skincare regimen you can go steps beyond your standard acne treatment.

Treat acne with one of our five Phyt’Ether serums depending on where the acne appears on the face:

• If acne appears on the forehead, this signals a Fire reflex zone. Use the Fire serum.

• If acne appears in between the eyebrows, this is a Wood reflex zone, therefore use the Wood serum.

• When acne shows up on the cheekbones—an Earth reflex zone—apply the Earth serum.

• But if acne appears on the cheeks, this is the Metal reflex zone, therefore apply Metal serum.

• Should acne appears on the chin, this is a Water reflex zone, and you should use the Water serum.

Next, apply Earth (yellow) Clay Mask. After 15 minutes, gently wash all mask residue from your face.

Then conclude this facial treatment phase with Oligo 5 spray. Spray it over the entire face even if acne only appears in one area of the face.

You can treat more than one skin condition at the same time (e. g. dry acne means you have acne but your skin is dry).

Identify which reflex zone on the face is affected. Then choose the Phyt’Ether serum according to the key above and gently apply a drop of two to the clean reflex zone.

We offer five natural quantum energetic and naturally colored Clay Mask for each of the five reflex zones on the face. This is PHYTO5’s Five Clay Mask facial (pictured, right). And it’s totally unique in the beauty industry.

PHYTO5 energetic products are very effective on their own. But if you’re live near a PHYTO5 trained professional, you’re in luck. Our trained professionals can give a treatment further enhanced using PHYTO5 proprietary devices. These include the light therapy machine (Chromapuncter) and/or the Biostimulator. These unique tools are the secret of many of our most advanced PHYTO5 practitioners.

The Four 18-Day Transition Periods Between TCM's Seasons and How to Harmonize With Them

There are four Earth energetic seasons in the Five Element Theory and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

These are 18-day transition periods between each of Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. TCM principles tell us the energy of that seasons element “returns to earth." For example, the Fire element of Summer returns to Earth to be transformed into the energy of the Metal element for upcoming Fall.

This concept of transitional seasons repeats another three times during the other three transitional periods in the year from one season to another. Together, those four periods of 18 days each every 12 months constitute the full Earth energetic season, the fifth energetic season of TCM.

The Earth season is particularly important as it is a stillpoint in the yin/yang dance of energy throughout the year. In particular, from July 20 to August 6, the yang of Wood (Spring season) and of Fire (Summer season) has faded, and the yin energy of Metal (Fall season) that will peak during Water (Winter season) is poised to rise.

The color for Earth is yellow.

Yellow fruit and vegetables are highly recommended to consume during the transitional Earth season in order to be more in alignment with the energy of the season.

A more toxic body condition found more in some people than in others is what TCM refers to as an Earth condition, or imbalance.

Earth imbalance in the skin usually manifests as:

• blemishes, toxicity, acne, psoriasis, enlarged pores

• heavy looking hair, pimples on scalp

• lymph circulation problems (Lymph is the fluid associated with Earth.)

Acne is an Earth condition that needs to be treated with targeted Earth skincare and therapies. Severe conditions will require a pointed series of treatments to balance the energetic root cause. Drainage of the lymph is essential, not only on the face but also all over the body, especially in severe cases of acne. The condition of acne tends to flare up during the four yearly transitional periods described above (the Earth season).

Lymph drainage is essential.

When waste does not fully migrate out of cells, we manifest the most typical cellulite—an Earth energy deficiency. Cells have become increasingly more bloated with waste material. The condition is aggravated when there is already too much waste in the interstitial fluid. In this case also, lymph drainage is sorely required.

Although there are a few contraindications for lymph drainage, it is safe to say that, in general, most people will benefit from regular drainage, particularly people of the Earth type. A good drainage gives instantly visible results making lymphatic drainage a worthwhile spa treatment.

If your body is very toxic which is very common with Earth types, it is advised to do the entire body in two or more sessions as toxins released too quickly over a large surface might induce fatigue and headaches. It is always imperative for everyone to drink plenty of water before and after any body drainage treatment.

The energetic drainage is not painful at all. In fact, it is considered very pleasant and relaxing. Most people feel quite rejuvenated at the end of the treatment.

In light therapy, also known as chromatherapy by PHYTO5, we use blue light to target the fluid of Earth, lymph, with our award-winning light technologies.

The morphology* associated with Earth can be described as:

• good proportions between upper and lower body (yin and yang in balance).

• likely to develop a belly

• thinking type with stable demeanor

• can be nervous when problems occur

• sensitive to humidity.

The elements in TCM are also associated with epochs in our lives. Earth tends to be the time for more mature adults while Fire, for example, is the time of young adulthood.

The PHYTO5® facial for the transitional periods between seasons/Earth element addresses energetic imbalance with two energetically potent products–the high vibration Earth serum (Phyt’Ether) and the Yellow Colored Clay Mask.

Spleen and stomach are the organs of the Earth seasons.

Spleen has a critical and ongoing management function in Chinese medicine converting and distributing energy from nourishment. It also regulates lymph flow, a major actor in toxin removal from tissues and a critical function of the immune defense system.

Earth is a time to regain our physical and psychological balance and to be prepared to sustain the energetic influences of the next season.

Indeed, during each of the other four seasons, either yin or yang will be on the rise or on the decline.

Each one of us will react to the changes in our own particular ways that can lead to imbalance, but Earth provides the perfect time to detoxify both our physical body and our mental/emotional one. It is the time to be grounded, and to cherish our CHI.

*Morphology is the study of body shapes. Your physical appearance is the specific manifestation of the sum total of all hidden and subtle energetic influences at work within you—what you were born with as well as what results from where and how you live your life. While there is an infinite number of body shapes, they can be classified according to TCM into five groups based on specific characteristics. To each of the five elements corresponds a body type—a specific morphology.
