Don’t worry, You’ll definitely get relief 😌 First of all avoid excessive spicy, sour and salty food,oily,sesame seeds etc. And start taking1.Mahamanjishtadi kwath 20ml +20ml lukewarm water empty stomach twice in a day. 2.khadirarishta 20ml +20ml lukewarm water just after having meal twice in a day. 3.Kaishore guggulu 1-0-1 for chewing 4.Gandhak rasayana 1-1-1 5.Haridrakhand 1tsf with 10ml of Panchtikta ghrita once in a day. **Apply paste of Neem bark over your face. Follow up after 2 months. **APPLY PASTE OF RAKTACHANDANA POWDER +MANJISHTHA POWDER +MULETHI POWDER OVER HER FACE AND THEN WASH IT OFF WITH COLD WATER. **Massage her face with NALPAMARADI OIL thrice in a week. **Apply few drops of KUMKUMADI TAILAM at bed time only. Follow up after 1 month. TAKE CARE 😊
It’ll be taking some time but she’ll definitely get relief 😊
Thank you for explaining your condition in detail. She has been experiencing acne for the past 2 years, leading to scarring on the cheeks. She consumes excessive sugary foods and finds it hard to stop. Her sleep pattern is irregular—stays up late and wakes late. She has a slim build. Multiple treatments including lotions, supplements, and antibiotics have been tried without success. In Ayurveda, this suggests pitta–kapha aggravation, excess ama (toxins) from poor digestion and diet, and disruption of circadian rhythm. The focus will be on detoxification, balancing pitta-kapha, supporting liver function, and improving skin healing.
Internal:
1.Manjisthadi kwath – 20 ml with 20ml of warm water twice daily before food (blood purifier)
2. Gandhak Rasayana – 2 tabs twice daily after food (skin rejuvenator)
3. Arogya Vardhini Vati – 1 tab twice daily after meals (liver detox)
External:
Fresh aloe vera gel twice daily
Massage face with Nalpamaradi tailam and do steaming for face on alternate days
Diet & Lifestyle:
Strictly avoid sugary, fried, dairy, and processed foods
Increase vegetables, fruits, and warm water intake
Sleep by 10:30 PM, wake up early
20–30 mins walking or yoga daily
With warm regards Dr.Sumi.
