Your symptoms — long-standing inflamed acne, oily skin, irregular/scanty periods, weight gain, and sedentary lifestyle — strongly suggest a hormonal and metabolic imbalance. In Ayurveda, this is commonly related to aggravated Pitta and Kapha dosha with disturbance in Rakta dhatu (blood tissue) and Artava dhatu (female hormonal/reproductive system). Conditions similar to PCOS patterns are often seen with this combination. Since the acne is chronic and bright red, the focus should be on reducing internal heat, improving metabolism, balancing hormones naturally, and cleansing the blood gently. Ayurvedic Management Diet & Lifestyle Avoid fried foods, excess dairy, sugar, bakery items, soft drinks, and spicy/junk food Reduce late-night sleeping and prolonged sitting Drink warm water throughout the day Include bitter and cooling foods: neem, bottle gourd, cucumber, coriander, amla, pomegranate Exercise daily for at least 30–40 minutes (walking, yoga, surya namaskar) to improve metabolism and hormonal balance Manage stress, as hormones and acne worsen with mental strain Helpful Ayurvedic Remedies Neem and Manjistha — traditionally used for blood purification and inflammatory acne Triphala at night — helps digestion and detoxification Amla — supports skin and reduces excess Pitta Shatavari — may help support female hormonal balance If periods remain very irregular, classical medicines like Kanchanar Guggulu or Ashokarishta are sometimes External Care Wash face 2–3 times daily with gentle herbal cleanser Avoid harsh scrubbing or heavy oily creams Multani mitti with rose water can help reduce oiliness occasionally

Your symptoms (long-term acne, oily skin, irregular/scanty periods, weight gain) suggest a hormonal imbalance with Pitta + Kapha involvement. So treatment should focus on hormone balance + metabolism + skin detox, not just creams. Keep routine regular. Avoid oily, fried, spicy, bakery and dairy excess. Reduce sugar and packaged food. Include warm, light meals and increase water intake. Daily exercise (even 30–40 min walk) is very important. Do not pick or squeeze pimples. At home: Neem water (boiled and cooled) can be used to wash face Apply turmeric + sandalwood paste 2–3 times/week Warm water with lemon in morning * Arogyavardhini vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food * Mahamanjishtadi kwath – 15 ml with equal water twice daily * Kanchanar Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after food This helps reduce acne inflammation, balance hormones, and regulate periods gradually. Give at least 6–8 weeks with consistency. Weight control will also improve results. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)
1.Gandhak rasayan 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 2.Pariathadi kwath 20 ml iwth 20 ml water twice daily after meals 3.Mahatikta ghrita 1 tsp with warm milk or water empty stomach in the morning 4.Rajah pravartini vati 1 tab twice daily with water after meals 5.Triphala churna 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water External Skin Care Since your skin is oily and the pimples are bright red (indicating high Pitta/heat), keep topical treatments cooling and non-greasy. -Face Pack: Apply a paste of Multani Mitti (Fuller’s earth) and Rose Water 2–3 times a week to absorb excess oil. -Neem Wash: Use a Neem-based herbal face wash to provide natural antibacterial support without harsh chemicals. Lifestyle & Diet Ayurveda emphasizes that “creams alone” won’t fix a 12-year problem; you must change the internal environment. -Move More: Daily exercise (30–40 minutes of walking or Surya Namaskar) is mandatory to improve metabolism and hormonal health. -Pathya (Dos): Drink warm water throughout the day. Include cooling foods like bottle gourd, cucumber, and pomegranate. -Apathya (Don’ts): Strictly avoid fried foods, excess dairy, refined sugar, and bakery items, which aggravate Kapha (oiliness) and Pitta (inflammation).
