Yesterday I had a hearty zit on my upper lip. Very hearty. And it was angry. Not only that but it was like the 3rd one because I kept squishing them and then they would reappear about 1/8″to the left. TMI?

Anywho, on this 3rd one I decided to take Ayurvedic action and I used tumeric on it. I made a simple paste with water and used a qtip to apply directly to the offending zit. I let it sit there until it dried. Tumeric immediately took the pain and redness away and brought all the junk to the surface. Today, there is barely anything left. Yessss.

In this case, tumeric worked because it is an anti-inflammatory, analgesic (pain killer), and it’s great for skin disorders. It improves complexion, heals wounds and bruises. It also has astringent and bitter qualities. That’s why it drew up the junk inside and then dried up the zit so quickly.

Just make sure to wash it off well so that you don’t replace your little red spot with a little yellow one.
