DR. MAITRI ACHARYA

Comdegonial acne sounds like a challenging issue. Let’s dive into potential Ayurvedic solutions. Acne often links to Pitta dosha imbalances, excess heat, or toxins (ama) in the body. With diet in check, we can focus on other areas like lifestyle, herbal remedies, and routine adjustments.

First, examine your daily routine. Sleeping late can destabilize hormonal balance, so aim for consistent sleep at right timings – ideally between 10 PM to 6 AM. Adequate rest supports skin repair. Also, stress is a big disruptor to skin health. Practices like meditation or gentle yoga daily can bring much-needed calmness.

Dietarily, even if you consume healthy food, balance Pitta by incorporating cooling and soothing items like cucumbers, coriander, and fennel tea. Avoid spicy, fried, sour, or hot foods that exacerbate Pitta and be careful with salty snacks.

For herbal remedies, applying a turmeric and sandalwood paste externally can help soothe inflammation. Wash your face with lukewarm water, and gently apply the paste, letting it sit for 15-20 minutes before rinsing. Do this thrice a week for best results.

Internally, neem tablets can be beneficial. Neem is known for detoxifying blood and purifying skin. Take 1-2 neem tablets daily after meals, but it’s best to consult with an Ayurvedic practitioner to ensure it suits you’re constitution.

Lastly, maintain good digestion—Agni. Consider taking Triphala—an Ayurvedic combination of three fruits, which regulates digestion. One teaspoon at bedtime in warm water can assist elimination without irritation. If breakouts persist or worsen, it may be wise to consult with a dermatologist or a specialized Ayurvedic practitioner directly to assess specific imbalances more thoroughly.

Namaste Simran, Your acne (Yauvana Pidika) and repeated breakouts are due to Pitta–Kapha imbalance and Rakta dushti (blood vitiation), along with digestion and hormonal influence. Ayurveda focuses on internal purification + external care for long-lasting clear skin.

Ayurvedic Treatment Plan

Internal Medicines

Khadirarishta – 2 tsp with equal water after lunch & dinner. Gandhaka Rasayana – 2 tablets twice daily. Gandharva Haritaki Churna – 2 tsp with warm water at bedtime.

External Applications

Morning: Apply Lepa made of Manjistha + Lodhra + Turmeric + Aloe vera gel for 10–15 minutes, then wash gently. After cleansing, apply broad-spectrum sunscreen (even indoors).

Night: Apply Acne Fite cream only over pimples and pigmented marks.

Lifestyle & Diet Advice Prefer cooling, light, detoxifying foods – moong dal, pomegranate, cucumber, ghee, buttermilk, leafy greens. Avoid fried, spicy, oily, sour, and fermented food. Drink enough water; avoid cola/packaged juices. Keep bowel movements regular. Maintain sleep hygiene – sleep before 11 pm, reduce stress. Do not squeeze or scratch pimples; wash face after sweating.

For long-term and stubborn acne, an Ayurvedic physician may also suggest Panchakarma (like Virechana).

Nimbtulsi vati 1-0-1 Khadira aristha 4 -0-4 tsp with water Avoid spicy oily fermented sour foods

To address recurring breakouts, it’s important to consider a holistic approach, looking at your dosha balance—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—as well as lifestyle factors affecting skin health. Acne often relates to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism in the body. Here’s how you can work towards achieving consistently clear skin:

1. Dietary Adjustments: While junk food isn’t part of your diet, focus on cooling and detoxifying foods to balance Pitta. Include more cooling foods like cucumbers, melons, coconut, and leafy greens. Avoid spicy, oily, or fried foods as they can aggravate Pitta and increase skin inflammation.

2. Herbal Remedies: Consider neem, turmeric, and manjistha. Neem can be taken in capsule form or used topically as a paste with water, to purify the blood and fight against infection. Turmeric, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, can be used in warm milk or applied as a paste with water or yogurt. Manjistha helps detoxify and purify blood.

3. Daily Routine (Dinacharya): Establish a consistent routine with regular detoxification practices. Dry brushing before a shower and Abhyanga (self-massage) with cooling oil like coconut could help. This enhances circulation, removing toxins from skin.

4. Hydration and Stress Management: Ensure you drink adequate amounts of water, aiding in detoxifying effects. Practicing stress-reduction techniques like pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation can help balance doshas and prevent stress-induced breakouts.

5. Sleep: Prioritize quality sleep, as it’s crucial in skin repair and health. Aim for 7-8 hours of restful sleep, which allows for optimal body and skin rejuvenation.

6. Consultation: If breakouts persist or worsen, consider seeking a consultation with an Ayurvedic practitioner for tailored advice. Your prakriti (body constitution) and other factors may need deeper analysis to address underlying imbalances.

While these measures are grounded in Ayurvedic traditions, do ensure any new practices or supplements align with your individual health condition and consult a professional if necessary. Implement these changes gradually and observe how your skin responds over time.
