Rock Sugar and Leek Soup: A Remedy for Acne! Dear Teacher Hu, I am an enthusiastic netizen (Username: 一滴水☆, QQ: 865842361). I often use your home remedies and immediately turn to your space whenever I feel unwell. I also have a great remedy to share with you. I used to suffer from severe acne all over my face, which was very distressing. An experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioner told me about this remedy, and both my friends and I have tried it. It works wonders every time! As a Buddhist practitioner, I believe in gratitude, so I want to share this remedy to help more sisters and friends. Here’s the remedy: Go to the market and buy 1 yuan worth of leeks (preferably green ones, ideally homegrown and pesticide-free). Boil them in 2 bowls of water with a little rock sugar. Drink the soup between 7:00 and 8:00 in the morning after breakfast. It’s crucial to drink it only during this time, as instructed by the practitioner. Generally, drink it twice a week for two weeks, and even acne scars will disappear. However, do not overconsume it, as it may irritate the stomach. I am deeply grateful to Teacher Hu for compiling so many effective remedies. I have benefited greatly from them. Thank you! Remedy Contributor: Teacher Li Xiaomei
