●Method for making the paste Ingredients: Yashtimadhu powder - 1/2 teaspoon; Pure almond oil - 3-4 drops; Raw milk - as needed. Mix all three ingredients to form a smooth, semi-liquid paste. This consistency helps it spread evenly on the skin.•How to Use - Cleanse face with plain water. Apply a thin layer of the paste. Let it dry for 15-20 minutes. Wash gently. 2-3 times a week is sufficient. Excessive use can tire the skin.•Almond Oil Milk Scientific Basis Licorice: Glabridin and Liquiritin regulate melanin production, reduce tyrosinase activity, and soothe inflammation. Vitamin E, Oleic Linoleic Acid, strengthens the skin barrier and prevents moisture loss. Increases absorption of active ingredients. Natural Lactic Acid (AHA) gently removes dead skin cells, smooths texture, and promotes brightness without irritation. ●Drink 1 | Amla Honey Water Ingredients • Amla powder - 1 teaspoon • Pure honey - 1 teaspoon • Lukewarm water - 1 glass •Method of consumption Mix amla in lukewarm water. When the water cools slightly, add honey and drink it on an empty stomach in the morning.•How this formula works • Amla purifies the blood, reducing bile • Madhu Mang purifies the micro-channels. When the blood is clean, the skin automatically becomes clear.Drink 1 When is it suitable? Suitable when: • Pigmentation • Frequent breakouts • Skin looks oily and dull Drink 1 When is it suitable? Suitable when: • Pigmentation • Frequent breakouts • Skin looks oily and dull ●Drink 2 | Licorice-Manjistha Purification Decoction Now the second formula which directly affects blood, bile, and inflammation. Ingredients • Licorice powder - 1/2 teaspoon • Manjistha powder - 1/2 teaspoon • Turmeric - 1 teaspoon • Cinnamon - a small piece (or a pinch of powder) • Water - 1 glassCorrect Method of Preparation 1. Mix all ingredients with water. 2. Bring to a boil over low heat. 3. When 1 glass remains, strain. 4. When it cools slightly, add a teaspoon of pure honey. Consumption: Never add honey to hot decoction in the morning on an empty stomach or at night before bed ●Take prescribed medicine and oils for 4 5 months

Sorry I don’t have any licorice powder, manjistha powder, and alma powder, are there any alternatives?

Take precibed medicine and oil and remaining powders buy from nearest ayurvedic store.Cause for better results you should take it.

Pus acne = Pitta + Rakta dushti (heat + blood impurity) Take Triphala churna 1 tsp at night with warm water (cleans blood + gut) Neem capsules/tablet 1 tablet morning & evening (anti-bacterial) Manjistha 500 mg twice daily (best for dark marks & detox) External (apply on face): Mix Neem powder + turmeric + rose water → apply 15 min daily, then wash Or simple Aloe vera gel (fresh or store) → daily night Diet (very important) Avoid: spicy, sugar, fried food, milk excess Take: ज्यादा, fruits, green veggies Simple routine Face wash 2 times (mild cleanser) Don’t touch/pick pimples (marks बढ़ते हैं)
