1. Post-Acne Pits (Skin Regeneration)
Topical Application:
Aloe Vera and Turmeric Paste: Apply fresh aloe vera gel mixed with a pinch of turmeric daily to reduce scars and promote healing.
Kumkumadi Tailam: Use this Ayurvedic oil at night to improve skin texture and lighten scars.
Sandalwood and Rosewater Mask: Apply twice weekly for natural skin renewal.
Internal Support:
Manjishtha Capsules: Helps purify blood and reduce scarring.
Neem Tablets: Controls acne and supports skin health.
2. Acne Control
Diet:
Avoid fried, spicy, and processed foods; reduce sugar and dairy.
Include cooling foods like cucumber, coconut water, and leafy greens.
Drink warm water with cumin, coriander, and fennel seeds for detoxification.
Herbs:
Triphala: Take 1 tsp with warm water at bedtime for detox.
Turmeric Milk: Use a pinch of turmeric in almond milk to reduce inflammation.
Lifestyle:
Avoid heavy makeup and cleanse skin with herbal face wash.
Practice yoga (e.g., Kapalabhati) to balance hormones and detoxify.
3. Facial and Body Hair Reduction
Herbal Application:
Turmeric and Besan Scrub: Use a paste of turmeric, chickpea flour, and water on affected areas regularly.
Kumkumadi Tailam: Helps with pigmentation from hair removal and softens hair.
Internal Balance:
Facial and body hair may be related to hormonal imbalance (excess Pitta/Kapha). Take Shatavari or Ashwagandha to support hormonal balance (consult a practitioner for the dose).
Long-Term Approach:
Correct lifestyle imbalances like irregular eating or stress, as they impact hormones.
4. Short Periods (Scanty Flow)
Diet:
Increase warm, nourishing foods like ghee, sesame seeds, and jaggery.
Avoid cold, processed, and heavy-to-digest foods.
Drink warm fennel tea or ginger tea during your cycle.
Herbs:
Shatavari: Balances reproductive hormones and improves menstrual flow.
Aloe Vera Juice with Kesar (Saffron): Take 2 tbsp daily to enhance uterine health.
Ashoka Churna: Beneficial for regularizing periods.
Lifestyle:
Avoid excessive physical exertion or stress.
Practice yoga poses like Baddha Konasana (Butterfly Pose) and Supta Baddha Konasana for pelvic health.
General Recommendations:
Daily Detox: Start mornings with a glass of warm water and lemon.
Consistency: Follow a routine for at least 3-6 months for visible improvements.
Consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized dosages and specific remedies based on your body type (Prakriti) and current imbalances.

For those post-acne pits, the main focus is on your skin’s healing and rejuvenation, which according to Ayurveda can be improved by supports like haldi (turmeric). Mix some haldi with raw honey or almond oil to make a paste and apply it on those pesky pits. leave it on for about 15-20 mins then gently wash. This combo helps in skin regeneration and give a natural glow over time... but be patient, because Ayurveda is all about harmony and time.
When it comes to controlling acne, it's important to balance whatever dosha is causing the imbalance, usually pitta. Reduce heating and oily foods - fried stuff, spicy, excessive salt – better keep these minimal. Load up on fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly those that are cooling like cucumber, coriander. Aloe vera gel right from the plant can work wonders too when applied topically.
Dealing with excessive facial or body hair, that's a bit tricky with Ayurveda to be entirely honest. However, regular intake of spearmint tea might help in balancing the androgens contributing to the unwanted hair. Try having a cup a day, and while it won’t give immediate results, its benefits over time could be noticeable.
For those shorter periods, it sounds like vata dosha might be in imbalance. Warm, nourishing foods - think soups porridge, are your friends. Try having ginger and jaggery tea as it tends to regulate the cycle. Also consider a warm oil massage with sesame oil, particularly around the abdominal area to help stimulate regular flow. Remember, every body is different, so your journey might be slightly different from others but consistency is key in ayurveda.
Anyway, don’t give up on conventional medical advice. Make sure you're not skipping on important foods and self-care. If theres persisting issues, especially with the menstrual cycle, getting checked by a healthcare professional is crucial.
