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

I am an Ayurvedic doctor trained at one of the most reputed institutes (yeah, the kind that makes u sweat but also feel proud lol) where I completed my BAMS with 70%—not just numbers but real grind behind it. My focus during & after graduation has always been on treating the patient not just the disease, and honestly that philosophy keeps guiding me even now. I usually see anywhere around 50 to 60 patients a day, sometimes more if there's a health camp or local rush. It’s hectic, but I kinda thrive in that rhythm. What matters to me is not the number but going deep into each case—reading every complaint, understanding symptoms, prakriti, current state, season changes etc. and putting together a treatment that feels “right” for that person, not just for the condition. Like, I don’t do one-size-fits-all plans. I sit down, make case reports (yup, proper handwritten notes sometimes), observe small shifts, modify herbs, suggest diet tweaks, even plan rest patterns when needed. I find that holistic angle super powerful. And patients feel it too—some who come in dull n restless, over weeks show clarity, skin settles, energy kinda gets back... that makes the day worth it tbh. There’s no shortcut to trust, and i get that. Maybe that’s why patients keep referring their siblings or maa-papa too. Not bragging, but when people say things like “you actually listened” or “I felt heard”, it stays in the back of my mind even when I’m dog tired lol. My goal? Just to keep learning, treating honestly and evolving as per what each new case teaches me. Ayurveda isn’t static—it grows with u if u let it. I guess I’m just walking that path, one custom plan at a time.

Dr. Sumi. S
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician with specialized expertise in Shalakya Tantra, focusing on the diagnosis and management of disorders affecting the Netra (eyes), Karna (ears), Nasa (nose), Mukha (oral cavity), Danta (teeth), and Shira (head and ENT region). My training and clinical experience have equipped me to treat a wide range of conditions such as Netra Abhishyanda (conjunctivitis), Timira and Kacha (early and advanced cataract), Adhimantha (glaucoma), Karna Srava (ear discharge), Karna Nada (tinnitus), Pratishyaya (chronic rhinitis and sinusitis), Mukhapaka (oral ulcers), Dantaharsha (dental sensitivity), and Shirashoola (headache and migraine). I routinely incorporate classical Ayurvedic therapeutic techniques like Kriya Kalpas, Nasya, Tarpana, Aschyotana, Karna Purana, Gandusha, Pratisarana, and Dhoomapana, along with internal Rasayana and Shamana therapies, ensuring treatments are both effective and tailored to each patient’s prakriti and condition. Beyond my specialization, I bring over two years of clinical experience managing multi-systemic disorders. My approach blends classical Ayurvedic principles with a sound understanding of modern diagnostics and pathology, allowing me to handle cases related to metabolic disorders (such as diabetes, hypothyroidism, and PCOS), musculoskeletal issues (like arthritis and back pain), gastrointestinal disorders, skin conditions, and women’s health concerns, including infertility and hormonal imbalance. I believe in evidence-informed practice, patient education, and holistic healing. My focus is always on delivering compassionate care that empowers patients to actively participate in their health journey. Through continuous learning and clinical research, I remain committed to upholding the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda in a way that aligns with today’s healthcare needs.

Thank you for explaining your condition in detail.

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
