NIP skin issues in the bud with this Asian ‘mint trick’

You’re SUFFERING with pain and itching…

But that’s not the worst of it.

Your skin is in SUCH bad shape… you’re ASHAMED to go out in public!

Even if your skin issues aren’t on your face…

You might try to stick it out through the entire summer with long sleeves and long pants… just to AVOID the horrified looks you’ll be getting.

Friend, you’re NOT a leper. And you don’t have to treat yourself like one.

If conventional skin therapies have FAILED you… it may be because they’re only treating SURFACE symptoms…

And not addressing the ROOT CAUSES of your “bad skin.”

It’s time for a change.

Here’s something your conventional dermatologist may NEVER recommend to you…

But folks on the other side of the world SWEAR BY!

The Japanese secret to clear skin

The traditional Japanese medicinal practice of Kampo calls it “Keigai“…

And studies out of that part of the world has shown how Japanese catnip (Schizonepeta tenuifolia) could help LESSEN the appearance of acne… either on its own or in combination with acupuncture.

In a 2018 study, researchers found that this member of the mint family OUTPERFORMED conventional acne therapy at the 1-month and 2-month marks…

And if there’s anything you want QUICK RELIEF for… it’s a breakout!

Researchers attribute these benefits to Japanese catnip’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions…

But there’s something else this herb does that makes it really special.

According to other studies, Japanese catnip MODIFIES the immune response to COOL DOWN inflammatory conditions.

This is KEY to RESOLVING autoimmune skin issues like eczema and psoriasis!

And in one study, the effect of Japanese catnip was COMPARABLE to a prescription NSAID drug.

This herbal remedy does even MORE to help ease skin problems…

It INHIBITS mast cells from releasing histamine.

That doesn’t just help SUPPRESS allergic skin reactions.

Because histamine is considered a culprit behind eczema flare-ups…

And antihistamine drugs are often given to both eczema and psoriasis patients to ease their symptoms!

Unfortunately, you won’t find Japanese catnip commonly used outside of Asia.

But you CAN get it from a certified Chinese herbalist… or at your local Asian specialty market (or online).

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it’s known as “Jing Jie” or by the Latin name Herba Schizonepetae.

Just make sure the herb you’re getting is Schizonepeta – and not the “feline” version of catnip, which is a totally different plant with different effects (known by the scientific name Nepeta).
