hello shristy,
I understand how frustrating it can be to deal with persistent pimples and changes in hair texture. Acne, open pores, and oily or uneven skin are often due to internal imbalances in digestion, hormones, and skin metabolism.
In Ayurveda, this usually involves Pitta and Kapha aggravation, which leads to inflammation and blockage of skin channels. Hair becoming curly, frizzy, and unhealthy can also be linked to Vata imbalance and lack of nourishment from the roots.
Before starting: I’d like to know about your bowel movements, appetite, sleep patterns, and stress levels as these affect both skin and hair.
Ama Pachana (Digestive cleansing): Triphala Churna 3 g at night with warm water for 3–5 days
Internal Medicines: Manjishtha Churna 3 g twice daily after meals for acne Neem Churna 2 g in warm water once daily for 20–30 days Shatavari Churna 5 g with warm milk at night to nourish hair and hormones
External Support: Apply herbal face packs with Manjishtha, neem, and sandalwood 2–3 times per week Use mild herbal shampoo and oil scalp with Bhringraj oil 2–3 times per week
Diet & Lifestyle: Avoid oily, fried, and processed foods; eat cooked vegetables, whole grains, and seasonal fruits Drink warm water; avoid cold drinks Gentle yoga and meditation to reduce stress
Investigations (if needed): Hormonal profile (if acne persists: thyroid, androgens)
Do’s & Don’ts: Follow medicine timing Avoid squeezing pimples Maintain hair hygiene, avoid chemical styling Regular sleep, hydration, and stress management
Follow-up: After 20–30 days to check improvement and adjust medicines.
With consistent care, acne and hair health will improve gradually. Patience is key.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Hello Shristy, I can understand your concern about skin and hair issues. Your concerns of pimples, open pores, and frizzy hair are very common at your age and usually arise from hormonal imbalance, excessive heat (Pitta dosha), poor digestion, and stress. Ayurveda focuses on both internal cleansing and external care to restore balance.
✅ FOR PIMPLES AND OPEN PORES
➡️1. INTERNAL MEDICATION
1 Sarivasavam 30ml-0-30ml after meals ( purify blood and reduce pimples.)
2 Khadirarishta 2 tsp with equal water after meals
3 Triphala churna (½–1 tsp at night with warm water) – improves digestion and reduces toxin buildup that triggers acne.
➡️ DIET AND LIFESTYLE
👉Avoid oily, fried, spicy, junk food, excess sugar, and dairy which worsen pimples.
👉Drink enough warm water and include fresh fruits (papaya, pomegranate, cucumber).
👉Maintain regular sleep, as late nights aggravate acne.
➡️EXTERNAL CARE
➡️Apply a face pack of multani mitti + rose water + a pinch of turmeric twice a week.
➡️Wash face with neem or aloe vera-based face wash, avoid harsh scrubbing.
➡️Use ice cubes wrapped in cloth on open pores for 1–2 minutes daily.
✅FOR. DRY AND FRIZZY HAIR
➡️1. INTERNAL REMEDIES
1 Bhringraj powder (½ tsp each with honey or water daily) help nourish hair and reduce dryness.
2 Jeevamrutham 1 tsp at bed time follwed by warm. Water ( hair tonic)
3 Regular oil massage with Neelibhringadi Taila or coconut oil infused with curry leaves strengthens hair roots.
➡️2. Hair Care Tips
👉Wash hair with mild herbal shampoos (shikakai, hibiscus-based). Avoid strong chemical shampoos.
👉Apply fenugreek (methi) seed paste or aloe vera gel as a natural conditioner once a week.
❌Avoid frequent straightening, coloring, or hot blow drying, as these damage hair texture.
✅DIET FOR HAIR HEALTH
👉Include soaked almonds, walnuts, black sesame seeds, and flax seeds in diet. 👉Use cow ghee in food for natural lubrication and shine.
Pimples can take time to heal; avoid squeezing them, as that increases marks and open pores.
Frizzy hair improves with regular oiling and nourishment from within.
With consistent care, you’ll notice healthy skin and manageable hair within a few months.
Wish you a good hair and skin 😊
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Based on your symptoms—pimples (tiny bumps on the forehead and cheeks), open pores, and a change in hair texture from straight to frizzy and curly—it sounds like there might be an imbalance in your body, which Ayurveda attributes to an imbalance of doshas, particularly Pitta and Vata. Pitta is often associated with skin issues like acne and inflammation, while Vata can be linked to dryness and frizziness in hair.
Here is a general approach based on Ayurvedic principles for your concerns:
Skin Concerns: Pimples and Open Pores
In Ayurveda, skin issues like acne are often seen as a result of an aggravated Pitta dosha (fire element), which causes heat and inflammation, and an accumulation of toxins in the body. Open pores can be a sign of both Kapha (oiliness) and Vata (dryness) imbalance.
1. Diet and Internal Remedies:
Pitta-Pacifying Diet: Avoid or reduce foods that are spicy, oily, fermented, and sour. These can aggravate Pitta. Embrace Cooling Foods: Include foods that have a cooling effect on the body, such as cucumbers, melons, leafy greens, and coconut water. Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help flush out toxins.
Herbs for Blood Purification: 1) tab arogyavardhini vati 1 tab before food with water 2 ) syrup rakta shodhaka 20 ml with water after food 2 times 3) Kumkumadi oil ext application 2 times
2. External Remedies (Face Packs and Cleansers):
Neem and Turmeric Paste: Mix a paste of Neem powder or crushed fresh Neem leaves with a pinch of turmeric and some rose water. Apply it to your face, especially on the affected areas, and wash it off once it dries. This helps with inflammation and fights bacteria.
Sandalwood (Chandan) and Rose Water: Sandalwood has a cooling effect and is great for soothing redness and calming the skin. A paste of sandalwood powder with rose water can be applied as a face pack. Aloe Vera: Apply fresh Aloe Vera gel directly on your skin. It is moisturizing and has a soothing effect without making your skin oily.
Multani Mitti (Fuller’s Earth): This is excellent for oily skin and open pores. Mix it with rose water and apply it as a mask. It helps to absorb excess oil and tighten the pores.
Hair Concerns: Frizzy and Curly Hair
A sudden change in hair texture to frizzy and curly can be an indication of an aggravated Vata dosha (air and space elements), which can cause dryness, roughness, and a lack of luster.
1. Internal Care:
Vata-Pacifying Diet: Incorporate warm, oily, and grounding foods into your diet. This includes healthy fats like ghee and sesame oil. 1) bhringamalakadi oil ext application 2 times massage for 10 min 2) saptamrit loha after food 1 tab 2 times
2. External Remedies (Hair Oils and Masks):
Oil Massage (Abhyanga): Regular oiling is crucial for taming frizz and nourishing your hair.
Coconut Oil: A staple for hair care, it deeply moisturizes and conditions.
Amla Oil: Known for its conditioning properties, it can help reduce frizz and add shine.
Sesame Oil: A very nourishing oil that is great for pacifying Vata.
How to: Gently warm the oil and massage it into your scalp and hair. Leave it on for at least 30 minutes, or even overnight, before washing.
Herbal Hair Packs:
Hibiscus and Amla Hair Pack: Make a paste of hibiscus flowers/leaves and Amla powder with water. Apply it to your hair to condition and add shine.
Fenugreek (Methi) Seeds: Soak a tablespoon of Fenugreek seeds overnight. Grind them into a paste in the morning and apply it to your scalp and hair. This is an excellent deep conditioner that fights frizz.
Lifestyle and Overall Well-being
Ayurveda emphasizes a holistic approach. Your skin and hair health are a reflection of your overall well-being.
Manage Stress: Stress can aggravate Pitta and Vata, leading to skin and hair problems. Practices like yoga, meditation, and Pranayama (breathing exercises) can be very beneficial. Regular Sleep: Ensure you get adequate sleep to allow your body to repair and rejuvenate. Gentle Cleansing: For both your skin and hair, use natural and gentle products. Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip your skin and hair of their natural oils. Practice Patience: Ayurvedic treatments work from the root cause and may take time to show results. Consistency is key.
Persistent pimples and changes in hair texture can be linked to imbalanced doshas. For your skin concerns, your Pitta dosha might be aggravated, which often leads to issues like pimples and open pores. Start with some dietary adjustments. Avoid spicy, oily, and processed foods which may increase Pitta, while incorporating cooling foods such as cucumbers, watermelons, and leafy greens. Drink enough water to stay hydrated and help eliminate toxins.
You can apply a paste of sandalwood or neem mixed with rose water on affected areas of your skin, as these have cooling and antibacterial properties. Regular use might help reduce inflammation and control pimples. Twice a week, try a gentle face steam with neem leaves, which might aid in cleansing open pores and reducing oiliness.
For your hair, it sounds like Vata imbalance is at play, possibly contributing to the dryness and frizz. Introduce a nourishing hair oiling routine using coconut or sesame oil at least twice a week. Warm the oil slightly before massaging your scalp and leave it overnight or for a couple of hours before washing it off with a mild shampoo.
Also, consider using an amla or hibiscus-based hair mask weekly, which can help strengthen hair and reduce frizz. Minimize the use of heat styling tools, and gently dry your hair by patting with a towel, instead of rubbing, to reduce further damage.
Ensure a balanced lifestyle with adequate sleep and stress management techniques, such as yoga or meditation, as stress can exacerbate skin and hair issues. These adjustments can take time, so consistent application and patience is key. If conditions persist, consulting with a local Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized advice might be beneficial.
For the pimples and open pores on your skin, it’s key to balance the Pitta dosha, which often relates to issues like acne. Start by incorporating neem and turmeric in your routine. You can make a paste using neem powder and turmeric with a little water, apply it as a face mask for 15 minutes before rinsing off with lukewarm water, doing this 2-3 times a week. Besides, sipping on an infusion made from coriander seeds or fennel seeds daily can help cool the system and reduce Pitta. Ensure you’re keeping the skin clean but be gentle, avoid harsh soaps.
Regarding your dry and frizzy hair, this indicates Vata imbalance. Begin oiling your scalp and hair regularly. Use sesame oil, or a mix of sesame and coconut oil. Warm it slightly and massage your scalp gently before bathing, do this 1-2 times a week. Leave the oil in for at least 30 minutes. Eating a diet rich in healthy fats like seeds, nuts, and avocados can nourish the hair from within. Avoid washing your hair with very hot water as well.
Each evening, a warm glass of milk with a pinch of ashwagandha or licorice root can promote internal harmony, benefiting both your skin and hair. Remember, modifying lifestyle habits such as reducing acidic or oily foods and keeping a consistent sleep routine can greatly support these measures. If symptoms worsen or persist, consulting an Ayurvedic professional for an in-depth evaluation of your unique constitution could be beneficial.
