Ayurvedic Approach to Chronic Acne (Yuvan Pidika) 1. Internal Detox & Diet (Ahara): Follow a Pitta-pacifying diet: Avoid spicy, oily, fried, and processed foods. Consume Triphala Churna (1 tsp) with warm water at bedtime for detox. Include coconut water, aloe vera juice, and fresh fruits in your diet. Avoid dairy and excessive sugar, as they aggravate acne. 2. Lifestyle & Daily Routine (Vihara): Wake up early and drink lukewarm water to flush toxins. Avoid touching or picking at acne to prevent scarring. Sleep well (7-8 hours) and reduce stress through meditation and pranayama (Anulom Vilom, Bhramari). Wash your face with cool water 2-3 times a day to keep skin clean. 3. Ayurvedic Remedies: Manjistha Churna (1 tsp) + warm water daily to purify blood. Gandhak Rasayan & Kaishore Guggulu (under Ayurvedic guidance) for deep healing. Aloe Vera gel + Turmeric paste applied to acne for soothing effect. Sandalwood & Rosewater paste to cool and reduce inflammation. 4. External Care & Face Packs: Multani Mitti (Fuller's Earth) + Neem Powder + Rosewater face pack twice a week. Kumkumadi Tailam (Saffron oil) at night for scars and glow. 5. Panchakarma Therapy (if severe): Virechana (Purgation therapy) for deep detox. Leech Therapy (Jalaukavacharana) for stubborn acne. Be patient; Ayurvedic healing takes time but gives long-term relief.

In Ayurveda, acne is often linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat and inflammation in the body. To address this, it’s important to focus on cooling and detoxifying treatments. A diet that is light, cooling, and hydrating can help, such as incorporating fresh fruits, vegetables, and foods that are not overly spicy or oily. Ayurvedic herbs like neem, turmeric, and sandalwood can be helpful for both internal and external use to reduce inflammation and cleanse the skin. Additionally, maintaining a calm, stress-free lifestyle and staying consistent with your daily walking can help balance Pitta. It's also beneficial to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for a more tailored approach that includes herbal supplements and skin treatments.
