In Ayurveda, pidaka (boils or acne) are typically caused by an imbalance in the Pitta dosha, which governs heat and transformation in the body. When Pitta becomes aggravated, it can lead to the accumulation of toxins (ama) that clog the pores, resulting in boils, pimples, and skin inflammation. Factors like poor digestion, a diet rich in spicy, oily, or acidic foods, stress, and hormonal imbalances can increase Pitta, contributing to skin eruptions. To manage and prevent pidaka naturally, Ayurvedic treatments focus on balancing Pitta and detoxifying the body. Herbs like turmeric, neem, and manjistha are commonly used for their anti-inflammatory and blood-purifying properties. Drinking herbal teas made with cumin, coriander, and fennel can support digestion and flush out toxins. Applying a paste of sandalwood or aloe vera gel can soothe the skin and reduce inflammation. It's also important to follow a Pitta-pacifying diet, focusing on cooling, light foods like cucumbers, melons, and whole grains while avoiding spicy, greasy foods. Regular detox practices, good hydration, and stress management techniques like yoga or meditation can further support long-term skin health.
