Namaste Isha,
Your acne is likely due to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which can be aggravated by hormonal fluctuations, heat, stress, and improper digestion. Since you also have thyroid imbalance, regulating both Pitta and Kapha is essential. Here's my Ayurvedic guidance:
1. Diet and Digestion
Avoid spicy, fried, and oily foods, as they increase Pitta.
Consume more cooling foods like cucumbers, coconut water, and green leafy vegetables.
Drink Triphala water at night to aid digestion and detox.
2. Herbal Remedies
Neem capsules or powder: Purifies the blood and reduces inflammation.
Manjistha: Helps in clearing skin marks and balancing Pitta.
Aloe vera gel (external): Apply directly to calm skin inflammation.
3. Lifestyle Adjustments
Keep stress in check with breathing exercises and meditation.
Avoid excessive sun exposure.
Drink warm water throughout the day to cleanse toxins.
4. External Care
Prepare a paste with Multani Mitti and rose water to reduce oiliness and heal marks.
Turmeric paste (small quantity mixed with honey) can help fade scars.
Consistency is key. If the acne persists, consult a trained Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized herbal combinations. Stay patient—Ayurveda focuses on long-term healing.

Acne and pimples can be exacerbated by hormonal imbalances, stress, and thyroid issues, which can also contribute to skin inflammation and poor healing. In Ayurveda, it’s important to address both internal factors and external skincare. For internal healing, balancing your Pitta dosha with herbs like Neem, Turmeric, and Guduchi can help reduce inflammation and skin eruptions. Additionally, Triphala can support detoxification and improve digestion, which can positively impact your skin. Externally, applying Kumkumadi Tailam or Sandalwood paste can help lighten dark spots and reduce scarring. For long-term improvement, adopting a cooling diet, drinking plenty of water, and managing stress through practices like yoga and meditation can be helpful. If thyroid imbalance is contributing, it’s essential to address it with the appropriate Ayurvedic treatment for thyroid health.

Oh, acne can be so frustrating, right? I hear you. Let's dive into some Ayurvedic wisdom to see how you might could get some relief.
Firstly, Ayurveda sees acne as often related to imbalances in the doshas, especially pitta. Those random too-out-of-control breakouts could be related to excess heat in your body or even toxin buildup. Here are some pointers that might help and remember, it's all about finding what works for you.
Diet's a biggie here. Try reducing pitta-aggravating foods like spicy, oily, and junk food. Go for cooling foods like cucumber, zucchini, and coconut water. Including fresh fruits such as watermelons or pears can help soothe as well. Hydrate, but you don't drown yourself - aim for 8-10 glasses a day.
Your routine may also play a role. Keep a consistent skincare routine—gentle cleansers and exfoliants could ease inflammation. Maybe, avoid touching your face with unclean hands to lessen bacteria spread. Using a natural face pack with sandalwood or neem might help calm the skin.
Stress, it happens, right? But managing it can do wonders. Consider adding some yoga, meditation, or even short walks in nature to your day. Fresh air can be grounding.
Lastly, consider your digestive health – strong agni (your digestive fire) can help metabolize toxins better. Sipping on warm water with a pinch of ginger or ajwain after meals can support digestion.
If those marks are bothering you, try a homemade paste: mix turmeric with yogurt, apply it as a mask once a week. It's gentle and can help lighten marks over time. But go easy, everyone's skin is different.
If things don't improve or worsen, please chat with a healthcare professional. Sometimes, knowing what's happening below the surface - a deeper look with blood tests - can provide more insight.
Consistency is key, and patience – small changes can lead to big results!
