hello Meenakshi ,
When acne keeps coming back despite many treatments, it’s a sign that your body is trying to tell you something deeper is imbalanced—not just on the skin, but internally too. In Ayurveda, we don’t just treat pimples, we try to find out why the skin is reacting this way. Your symptoms suggest a combination of Pitta imbalance (heat, inflammation, red pimples), possibly ama (toxins), and hormonal fluctuations especially if acne worsens around your period or with stress.
Let’s first calm the inflammation, clear the toxins, and support your digestion and hormones gently.
1. Ama Pachana (First 5 days):
Triphala churna – ½ tsp with warm water at bedtime Avipattikara churna – ½ tsp in warm water before breakfast and dinner
2. Internal Medicines (from Day 6 onward): Gandhak Rasayan – 2 tablets twice daily after food (for skin detox and healing) Manjishthadi Kashayam – 15 ml with equal water twice daily before food Sarivadyasava – 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner
3. External Application: Kumkumadi Lepam or Acnovin Ointment (Vasu) – apply on affected areas once daily at night Avoid scrubbing, heavy makeup, or harsh face washes. Use mild ubtan like multani mitti + rose water once in 3 days
4. Diet Tips: Avoid spicy, oily, fermented, and sugar-heavy food Drink warm water with mint or fennel seeds Include more green leafy vegetables, moong dal, ash gourd juice (weekly), and pomegranate
5. Lifestyle Tips: Sleep by 10:30 PM daily Practice sheetali pranayama or nadi shodhana Reduce screen exposure at night Manage stress with journaling or gentle walks
Investigations (if not recently done): Thyroid profile Serum Vitamin D and B12 Hormonal profile (especially if you have irregular periods)
This journey is not about quick fixes but about bringing long-term harmony between your inner health and outer glow. You will feel better gradually one step, one layer at a time.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

Your pimples have been recurring for the past 6 months, and despite trying multiple products and visiting dermatologists, they persist and have damaged your facial skin. This suggests an internal imbalance rather than just a surface problem. In Ayurveda, persistent acne is called Yauvan Pidika / Mukhadushika and is often linked to pitta–kapha aggravation, impaired digestion (ama accumulation), hormonal imbalance, and sometimes stress or irregular sleep. The focus will be on:
1. Clearing ama (toxins) 2. Balancing pitta & kapha 3. Regulating digestion and hormones 4. Healing and rejuvenating skin
Recommended Investigations
1. CBC – to check for infection or anemia 2. Fasting Blood Sugar / HbA1c – to rule out insulin resistance 3. Hormone profile – LH, FSH, Testosterone, TSH 4. Vitamin D & B12 levels 5. CRP & ESR – inflammation markers
Internal Medicine
Starting with Ama Pachana (7 days)
1. Trikatu churna – 1 g with warm water after meals twice daily
2. Guduchi kwatha – 20 ml with 20ml of warm water twice daily before food
After 7 days, stop above and start:
1. Manjisthadi kashaya 25 ml with 30ml of warm earm water before food twice daily (blood purifier, anti-inflammatory)
2. Sarivadyasava – 15 ml with equal water after meals twice daily (pitta-kapha balance)
3. Arogya Vardhini Vati – 1 tablet twice daily after meals (liver detox & skin health)
4. Gandhak Rasayana – 2 tablets twice daily after food (skin rejuvenator)
External Applications
Aloe vera gel (fresh) applied twice daily
Kumkumadi taila at night for skin repair (only after active pimples reduce)
Diet & Lifestyle Tips
Avoid:
Spicy, oily, fried food
Dairy products (milk, cheese, paneer) for now
Refined sugar, bakery items, chocolates
Excess tea/coffee, cold drinks
Include:
Warm water throughout the day (can infuse with cumin, coriander)
Fresh fruits: pomegranate, papaya, apple
Vegetables: bottle gourd, ridge gourd, cucumber, leafy greens
Herbal teas (mint, tulsi, coriander seeds)
Lifestyle:
Sleep before 10:30 PM
Avoid touching or squeezing pimples
20–30 mins brisk walk daily
Practice sheetali pranayama (cooling breath) 5–7 mins twice daily
May your skin regain its clarity and health from within. Please don’t hesitate to reach out for follow-up or adjustment in medicines.
With kind regards, Dr. Sumi
