Addressing acne, especially one that’s been persistent for over two decades, requires a holistic approach rooted in understanding your unique constitution or ‘prakriti’. Acne can often stem from an imbalance in the Kapha and Pitta doshas. Pitta, linked with heat and inflammation, combined with Kapha’s oily nature, can manifest as acne. Soothing the Pitta and managing Kapha can be beneficial.
For dietary modifications, try to incorporate cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, and leafy greens. It’s wise to avoid spicy, oily, and overly processed foods, as they can aggravate the condition. Drink plenty of water through the day to keep your system hydrated and help cleanse it internally. An effective home remedy includes drinking warm water with a pinch of turmeric and lemon juice each morning—this can support detoxifying the body gently and naturally.
Detoxification, or ‘Panchakarma’, can be helpful, but it’s essential to undergo such processes under the guidance of a qualified practitioner. Simple practices at home, like sipping warm water throughout the day, can aid in digestion ‘agni’, enhancing elimination.
Regarding hair loss following childbirth, it’s quite common due to hormonal shifts and can be seen as Vata imbalance. Massaging the scalp with Brahmi oil or coconut oil a couple of times a week can encourage hair health and promote relaxation. Ensure your diet is rich in proteins, fruits, and nuts to support hair recovery.
Practice pranayama—breathing exercises like Anulom Vilom helps balance the doshas and calm the mind.
Ensure you’re getting enough sleep and manage stress through meditation or yoga, which helps rebalance the body holistically. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, consider consulting an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized plan, and always rule out any underlying condition with a medical professional.
