hello sapna ,
I hear you. Having acne that keeps coming back despite trying many medicines and even procedures like leech therapy can feel very discouraging. The fact that scars have formed makes it more emotionally draining. But don’t worry with the right internal balance and gentle external care, your skin can slowly heal and scars can soften. Let me explain in a simple way.
Your skin is showing acne again and again because the root imbalance inside your body (mainly hormones + digestion) is not yet fully corrected. That’s why the moment you stop medicine, acne returns.
Since you had PCOS earlier, your skin is more sensitive to hormonal fluctuations. Past TB medicines and long treatments may also have weakened your digestion and skin healing. Scars appear because acne pores get inflamed and damaged deeply. So the plan should be: Correct digestion & hormones from inside. Prevent new pimples so no fresh scars form. Heal existing scars slowly with safe, natural methods.
1. Internal Medicines (to take regularly for 2–3 months) Saraswatarishta – 15 ml with equal water after meals, twice daily (balances hormones + digestion). Gandhak Rasayan – 1 tab twice daily after meals (purifies skin, reduces pus-filled acne). Manjishtadi Kwatha – 20 ml with equal water, twice daily before food (blood purifier, reduces marks). Aloe vera juice – 10 ml morning empty stomach (improves gut and skin healing).
2. External Care (gentle, no harsh products) Face wash: use plain green gram flour (moong dal powder) or masoor dal powder with water instead of soap. Scar care: apply Kumkumadi Taila (2–3 drops at night, massage gently). This gradually lightens scars and gives glow. For active acne: make paste of neem + turmeric powder with rose water, apply only on pimples (not whole face) once daily.
3. Food & Lifestyle Avoid oily, fried, very spicy foods and packed junk food. Reduce rice at night, prefer light dinner (moong dal soup, vegetable soup, chapati). Take more fresh vegetables, fruits, soaked almonds, and sesame seeds. Drink warm water through the day — avoids toxin build-up. Sleep 10–11 pm, as late-night sleep worsens hormones and acne.
Healing scars and preventing new acne takes patience — but it is possible. Ayurveda works gradually by correcting the root (hormones, digestion, and blood purification). If you follow this for 3–4 months consistently, you will notice: Pimples reducing in number. No new scars forming. Old scars slowly lightening.
Remember: scars never vanish overnight, but with Kumkumadi taila + internal balance, they fade naturally.
Warm regards, Dr. Karthika

To address acne, acne scars, blemishes, and dark spots naturally, Ayurveda focuses on balancing doshas, particularly Pitta, which is often responsible for skin issues when imbalanced. Adopting a Pitta-pacifying lifestyle and diet can be beneficial.
Start with dietary changes. Favor cooling, soothing foods like cucumbers, coriander, and cilantro. Incorporate aloe vera juice and amla into your daily routine, as these help in calming Pitta. Avoid spicy, oily, and fried foods, as well as sour and fermented items. Ensure regular meals at consistent times to support digestive fire, or agni. Hydration is key, so drink lukewarm water with a few mint leaves occasionally.
For topical treatments, turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Create a paste with turmeric powder and organic honey, apply it to the affected areas, leave it on for 10-15 minutes, and then wash off gently with water. Do this 2-3 times a week. Sandalwood powder mixed with rose water can be used similarly for its calming effect on the skin.
Consider Abhyanga (self-massage) with coconut oil or a Pitta-balancing oil like olive oil, which can be soothing and nourishing. Perform this 2-3 times a week before bathing.
Maintain a regular sleep schedule. Aim for 7-8 hours of restful sleep, as poor sleep can worsen skin conditions. Yoga and meditation are beneficial for reducing stress, which can also trigger acne flare-ups. Attempt Simhasana (Lion Pose) or Pranayama breathing exercises.
Additionally, an Ayurvedic physician may recommend herbal supplements like Neem or Manjishtha, under their guidance, as they can help in detoxifying blood and reducing skin issues. It’s important to give these approaches some time to show effect, so patience and consistency are crucial in achieving desired results naturally.
For acne and its related concerns like scars and blemishes, addressing the imbalance in your doshas can be a key step. Acne is mostly linked with aggravation of Pitta dosha, combined perhaps with some Kapha elements, that can result in impurities accumulating in the skin.
1. Diet and Lifestyle: Focus on a Pitta-pacifying diet by reducing spicy, oily, and fermented foods. Include cooling, bitter, and astringent tastes. Stay hydrated with plain water and herbal teas like neem or turmeric-infused ones. Try to keep a balanced routine, ensuring enough rest and regular routines to support digestion.
2. Herbal Remedies: Using a mix of natural ingredients can help soothe the skin. A face mask of sandalwood powder with rose water or aloe vera gel applied directly can be calming. These are traditionally known for their skin-healing properties.
3. Internal Cleansing: Consider incorporating Triphala, a blend of three fruits, which helps cleanse the digestive tract and support overall detoxification. Consuming it regularly at bedtime with warm water can be beneficial for your skin.
4. Topical Treatments: Regularly applying turmeric and honey mask can help in reducing the appearance of scars due to their antibacterial and scar-lightening properties. You can make this paste fresh and apply a few times a week.
5. Daily Activities: Ensure you engage in regular moderate exercise like yoga or walking to help improve circulation and support the body’s detoxification processes.
Adjustments and herbal remedies can require some patience. However, the key is to maintain consistency and observe how your body responds. If any severe reactions occur, or the condition persists, it is important to seek guidance from a healthcare professional.
