Did you have any chkups or medication for chest pain? For oily face Multani Mitti (Fuller’s Earth) Face Pack Mix with rose water or plain water and apply for 15–20 mins.

hello oyinkansola, Your chest pain on the left side likely comes from gas or acidity rising up into the chest, especially if drinking water helped earlier. After delivery, hormonal changes, digestion slowdown, and lifestyle stress can make these problems worse. This is common and not usually heart-related, but persistent symptoms must be checked to rule out other causes. Your oily skin and pimples are mostly due to internal heat (Pitta) and oil (Kapha) imbalance. When digestion is weak, undigested food turns into toxins (we call this Ama), and these spread through the blood, causing acne, oily skin, and breakouts.
Investigations Suggested (to rule out deeper issues):
USG Abdomen – To check for any acidity-related gastric issues or hernia ECG or TMT (if chest pain persists) – To rule out any heart-related causes CBC, ESR – To check for infection or inflammation Hormonal Profile – Especially if acne is persistent (testosterone, DHEA-S, LH, FSH) Lipid Profile – If diet has been irregular or weight gain is present Stool Test (if gas is excessive) – To check digestion strength and gut health
Treatment Plan (Step-by-step):
1. Ama Pachana (to correct digestion):
Hingwashtak Churna – ½ tsp with warm water before meals, twice daily for 5 days Jeerakadyarishta – 15 ml with equal water after meals for 7 days
2. Internal Medicines (for chest discomfort and skin issues):
Avipattikar Churna – ½ tsp with lukewarm water at bedtime (helps acidity and chest pressure) Manjishtadi Kwatha – 20 ml + 20 ml water, twice daily before meals (purifies blood, supports skin) Nimbadi Guggulu – 2 tablets after meals, twice daily (clears oily skin and reduces pimples)
3. External Remedies (for pimples and oily face):
Neem face wash – Twice daily Face pack – Multani mitti + Neem powder + Rose water, 3 times a week Kumkumadi Tailam – 2–3 drops at night for reducing marks and improving glow

Pain in the left chest should be taken seriously, especially after childbirth. While Ayurveda offers solutions, it is crucial to first rule out any potential heart-related problems or other medical emergencies. Immediate medical attention is advised to determine the cause of your chest pain, especially since it is persistent and water intake has not relieved it.
Regarding the issues with your face, from an Ayurvedic perspective, oily skin and pimples often point to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha. This dosha is associated with heat, digestive fire, and metabolism. Postpartum hormonal changes can exacerbate Pitta, leading to increased oil production and acne.
Here’s what you can do. Consider modifying your diet to calm Pitta. Favor cool, bland foods and avoid spicy, sour or fried foods as these can further aggravate your skin. Include lots of fruits and vegetables, like cucumber, lettuce, watermelon and melons. They have cooling properties. Drink enough water to stay hydrated but be cautious not to overdo it.
Topically, you can apply a paste of sandalwood powder and rosewater to your face, which has a soothing and cooling effect. Avoid harsh chemicals and stick to gentle, natural skincare routines. Regularly wash your face with lukewarm water to remove excess oil but avoid excessive washing, as it can strip your skin’s natural oils and increase oil production.
Lastly, stress management is critical, especially postpartum. Engage in mild yoga or simple breathing exercises to balance your mind and body. Balancing rest and activity is essential during this time for general well-being.
Given your symptoms of chest pain, it’s crucial to first rule out any critical medical conditions. Chest pain can be associated with heart or respiratory issues, and while Ayurveda can offer supportive insights, it’s vitally important that you consult with a healthcare provider to assess any urgent conditions that require immediate attention.
For contextual advice based on Siddha-Ayurvedic principles, oily skin and pimples can often be linked to an imbalance in the Pitta dosha. Pitta governs the body’s metabolic activities and is associated with heat and transformation. Post-pregnancy changes in your body could have influenced your dosha balance.
To help mitigate the excess Pitta, consider incorporating cooling and soothing elements into your diet and lifestyle. Eating foods that are naturally cooling, such as cucumber, cilantro, and green leafy vegetables, can help. Avoid excessively spicy, oily, or fried foods, as they may aggravate Pitta.
Maintaining a regular daily routine, or “Dinacharya,” can help balance doshas as well. Incorporate daily yoga or light exercise to promote circulation and reduce stress. Drinking water should be done throughout the day, but avoid overloading, especially when symptoms occur, indicating a potential imbalance of Vata dosha as well.
For skincare, you might opt for herbal pastes made with substances like sandalwood and turmeric, which help pacify Pitta and cleanse the skin. An oil or herb-infused facial steam could also assist in opening pores and cleansing impurities. However, remember that the root cause linked to chest discomfort needs immediate medical consultation and should not rely solely on home remedies.
In Ayurveda, the approach to treating oily skin and pimples is based on the principle of balancing the body’s three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Oily skin and acne are often associated with an imbalance of the Pitta and Kapha doshas.
Here are some common Ayurvedic remedies and practices for managing oily skin and pimples:
Topical Remedies Neem: Neem is a powerful antibacterial and anti-inflammatory herb. You can apply a paste made from neem leaves or neem powder mixed with water or rose water to the affected areas.
Turmeric: Known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, turmeric can be used as a spot treatment. Mix turmeric powder with a little honey or water to form a paste and apply it to pimples.
Sandalwood: Sandalwood has a cooling effect and is excellent for soothing inflamed skin. A paste made from sandalwood powder and rose water can help reduce redness and promote healing.
Tulsi (Holy Basil): Tulsi is considered sacred in Ayurveda for its healing properties. A paste made from crushed tulsi leaves can be applied to the skin to treat acne and blemishes.
Aloe Vera: Aloe vera gel is known for its cooling and healing properties. Applying fresh aloe vera gel can help reduce redness and promote skin repair.
Honey: Raw honey has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Applying a thin layer of honey to your face can help control bacteria and oil.
Dietary and Lifestyle Adjustments Ayurveda emphasizes that skin health starts from within. Adjusting your diet and lifestyle can play a significant role in managing oily skin and acne.
Dietary Changes:
Pitta-pacifying foods: Since acne is often linked to an aggravated Pitta dosha (associated with heat and inflammation), it’s recommended to eat cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, leafy greens, and coconut water
Avoid Pitta-aggravating foods: Limit or avoid spicy, oily, and acidic foods, as well as caffeine and alcohol, as they can increase internal heat and worsen acne. Increase water intake: Drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins from the body and keeps the skin hydrated.
Herbal teas: Teas made from mint, coriander, or fennel can help detoxify the body and reduce inflammation.
Stress Management: Stress is a known trigger for acne. Incorporating practices like yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises (pranayama) can help reduce stress and improve skin health.
Proper Cleansing: Gently wash your face with a mild cleanser twice a day. Avoid harsh scrubbing, as this can irritate the skin and make acne worse. Using a cleanser with Ayurvedic herbs like neem or tulsi can be beneficial.
Don’t pick or squeeze: Avoid picking or squeezing pimples, as this can lead to scarring and further inflammation.
