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.
