hello prabhoj Kaur, Since you’ve had acne for over 6 years and now mainly have closed comedones (small bumps) and pigmentation, it means your skin has chronic inflammation and excess oil buildup (Kapha-Pitta imbalance). Even if active pus-filled acne has stopped, the leftover blockages (comedones) and pigmentation need internal balancing and skin-clearing herbs. Using only face wash or creams won’t help unless your digestion, hormones, and skin-cleansing channels (Rakta & Rasavaha Srotas) are corrected from inside. Treatment Plan 1. Ama Pachana (First 3 days) Avipattikar Churna – 1 tsp with warm water after dinner Triphala Churna – 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water 2. Internal Medicines (From Day 4 onward) Mahamanjishtadi Kwath – 20 ml with 40 ml warm water twice daily before food Gandhaka Rasayana – 2 tablets daily after meals Saribadyasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner 3. External Application Nalpamaradi Tailam – Apply on face 20 mins before bath, then wash off with herbal face wash Kumkumadi Tailam – Apply a few drops at bedtime only on marks and pigmented areas Duration: Continue for 6–8 weeks, and review after 1 month for changes. Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Took some internal medicines for detox your body. 1. Manjishtadi kashayam 15 ml + 45 ml lukewarm water twice daily before food. 2. Krimighna vati 1-1-1 after food. (1 month). 3. Khadirarishtam 10 ml twice daily after food. For external application, 1. Eladi choornam with warm water for 10 minutes and wash off. 2. Eladi cream used as a moisturizer. Avoid dairy products and sugar. Excess salty and oily food also should avoid. Keep the body always hydrated. Include more fruits in your diet.

I am an Ayurvedic doctor with about 3 years of hands-on experience, mainly dealing with lifestyle disorders like PCOD, weight gain, diabetes, stress, and gut stuff—like bloating or weak digestion or just that feeling something’s off. I did my BAMS coz I was really drawn toward natural healing, not just the herbs part, but how everything connects—mind, food, sleep, mood... all of it. What I really try to focus on is not just giving medicine n sending people off. I like to understand what’s behind the symptoms... like why their metabolism’s slowed down or why they keep getting acidity despite eating less. That’s where my work with diet and mindset come in. I use Ayurvedic principles, yes, but I also mix it with small practical stuff—daily routines, sleep hygiene, stress release, food planning, whatever feels doable for that person. It’s not always about detoxes or strict regimens, though sometimes that helps too. Depends, really. I’ve seen good results when people actually get that they don’t need to do huge things. Just right guidance at the right time. I try to keep things light in consultation, make people feel heard, not rushed. I genuinely like when someone says “no one explained it to me like this before” — that feels nice. My whole approach is basically trying to make health feel natural again. Nothing fancy. Just rooted in the real Ayurvedic logic and a lot of listening. And yes, there’s trial and error sometimes, every case is different. But that’s what makes it kind of real. If you're dealing with any of those everyday-but-tiring health issues, I’ll do my best to figure it out with you—not just for now, but in a way that holds up longer term.

Hlw prabhjot ji, In Ayurveda, acne is usually due to an imbalance in: Pitta dosha – Excess heat in the body, leading to inflammation (pimples, pus) Kapha dosha – Blocked pores due to oiliness (comedones, cysts) Rakta dhatu dushti – Impure blood 1. Internal Herbal Remedies Neem – Capsule / decoction Antibacterial, blood purifier Manjistha – Powder / capsule Detoxifies blood, reduces pigmentation Guggulu (Kaishore Guggulu) Anti-inflammatory, helps with chronic acne Sarivadyasava Balances Pitta, detoxifies skin Triphala Churna (at night) Improves digestion, cleanses system Mahamanjishtadi kadha 10ml -10ml Blood purifier For Comedones (Whiteheads) Steam with neem leaves – 2-3 times/week to open pores and reduce bacterial load. Face mask (1–2x/week): 1 tsp Multani mitti (Fuller’s earth) ½ tsp Neem powder ½ tsp Turmeric (organic, not cooking turmeric) Rose water to make paste – Apply 15 mins, then wash. For Pigmentation / Dark Spots Kumkumadi Tailam – Ayurvedic facial oil for pigmentation (use 2-3 drops at night). Licorice (Yashtimadhu) powder + honey – as a face pack for post-acne marks. Diet and Lifestyle Recommendations Skin reflects internal health in Ayurveda. You need to cool and cleanse the system from within. Eat More: Warm, freshly cooked food Bitter veggies (neem, karela, methi) Amla (Vitamin C-rich, for collagen and skin tone) Aloe vera juice (morning) Avoid: Spicy, oily, fermented food Sugar, chocolate, fried snacks Dairy (can aggravate acne for some) Stress, irregular sleep Thank you!
