If you have any questions u can ask me.I will answer to the level of your satisfaction.U have text option here.
Addressing acne, especially when persistent, involves understanding the balance of doshas—primarily Pitta due to its fiery nature causing inflammation. The imbalance might be due to diet, lifestyle, or stress. First, let’s look at your diet. Consider avoiding spicy, oily, or fried foods that can aggravate Pitta. Emphasize a Pitta-pacifying diet, which includes cool, watery foods like cucumbers, leafy greens, and sweet fruits such as apples. Freshly prepared meals with minimal oil and spices are ideal.
Hydration is key, but opt for warm water instead of cold, which is a common oversight. Herbal teas, particularly with neem or turmeric, can be beneficial—you could try incorporating these after meals. Triphala is another Ayurvedic formulation that might aid in balancing your agni or digestive fire, assisting to detoxify and eliminate bodily impurities.
Externally, applying a paste made from sandalwood powder mixed with rose water can soothe skin irritation. Turmeric paste, used sparingly, may help reduce redness and marks due to its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Remember not to overdo, though; sometimes less is more.
Stress is also a significant contributor to skin issues. Engaging in yoga or meditation might help in this regard. Practice Pranayama breathing exercises which can balance the doshas over time.
For topical marks, ayurvedic oils like Kumkumadi Tailam, if used regularly before bedtime, could lighten marks over a period of time—again, patience with consistent usage is vital here. Please be cautious, especially if you have sensitive skin - do a patch test first.
Consistency with these practices is important, and often individuals see results after several months of discipline. If these don’t yield results in due time, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner in-person may offer further personalized diagnostics with Panchakarma therapies.
