Dear Sam,
Just wanted to clarify is your sons is 27 year old if yea then,Based on your description, it appears your son may be experiencing an imbalance in both his mental-emotional and skin systems, which in Ayurveda often points to disturbances in the doshas—particularly an excess of Pitta (inflammation) affecting the skin and Vata (nervous system imbalance) contributing to his depressive, lethargic state and low confidence.
Start on
1.Tab.MEDHA VATI 1 tab twice daily after meals with lukewarm water
2.neemghan vati 1 tab twice daily with lukewarm water
3.Ashwagandha churna 1/2 tsp at night with warm milk
4.triphal churna 1/2 spoon at night with lukewarm water
5. Mahamanjistha aristha 2 tsp with equal quantity of water twice daily
Include: Fresh fruits (like pomegranate, apple), cooked vegetables (bottle gourd, carrots), whole grains (millets, brown rice), and healthy fats (moderate amounts of ghee).
Avoid: Spicy, oily, and processed foods which may aggravate Pitta and contribute to skin issues.
Hydration: Encourage plenty of warm water .
Ensure regular cleansing of the skin using mild, natural cleansers.
Promote physical activity

Hi Sam,
I understand your concern for your son's well-being. To better tailor advice, I’d ask:
1. How is his diet, and does he have any habits like irregular eating or excessive sugar intake?
2. Is he experiencing any significant stress or emotional strain, as this can contribute to both mental health and skin issues?
In Ayurveda, his symptoms might suggest an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs metabolism and skin health. To address this, we recommend:
Diet: Avoid spicy, greasy, and processed foods. Focus on cooling foods like cucumbers, coconut, and leafy greens.
Herbal remedies: Ashwagandha and Brahmi can help improve mental clarity and reduce stress. Neem and Turmeric are great for detoxifying and clearing up skin infections.
Lifestyle: Encourage a routine of daily exercise, yoga, and meditation to improve his mood and confidence. A regular Abhyanga (oil massage) with calming oils like sandalwood can also help balance Pitta.
