Hello Ahsin ji, I can understand your concern about acne despite of following a healthy vegetarian diet, avoiding oily food, maintaining hygiene, and sleeping well This indicates that your acne is not only due to external factors, but due to internal metabolic or doshic imbalance but dont worry we are here to help you out😊
✅ Understanding the Root Cause According to Ayurveda
In your case, certain lifestyle patterns can silently aggravate these doshas:
👉Intense workouts and badminton can increase Pitta (body heat), especially if hydration and cooling foods are insufficient.
👉Stress and long IT working hours disturb hormonal balance and sleep cycle, indirectly affecting skin health.
👉Sweating and delayed cleansing after physical activity can clog pores.
👉Even a mild digestive imbalance (Agni dushti) — like irregular meals, late-night eating, or suppressed hunger — can produce Ama (toxic residue) that manifests through the skin.
👉Hormonal fluctuations (even mild ones) can aggravate Kapha and Pitta, particularly affecting the cheek area.
Hence, a multidimensional approach is needed rather than only topical care.
✅AYURVEDIC PLAN OF TREATMENT
✅INTERNAL MEDICATION
These medicines aim to purify blood, balance Pitta-Kapha, and improve digestion and liver function:
1 Sarivadyasava – 15ml-0-15ml with equal water after food t ( Purifies blood and reduces internal heat)
2 Mahamanjisthadi kashaya – 15 ml with equal water before food. ( Excellent for chronic acne, pigmentation, and blood purification.)
✅ EXTERNAL CARE
Wash your face with neem or turmeric-based herbal cleanser twice daily.
Apply Kumkumadi Taila at night (light layer only).
After workouts, gently cleanse sweat immediately; avoid rubbing or over-cleansing.
Avoid use of harsh cosmetics or heavy creams.
✅DIET MODIFICATION
✅Include: Fresh fruits like amla, pomegranate, apple, papaya Vegetables like lauki, tori, karela, palak Jeera, dhania, sauf infused water to reduce Pitta Triphala churna (1 tsp at bedtime with lukewarm water) for regular detox
❌Avoid:
Deep fried, spicy, sour, or fermented foods (pickle, curd at night) Excess tea, coffee, or energy drinks Late-night meals or irregular eating pattern Suppressing natural urges like sweat or sleep
✅Lifestyle Tips
Wash face after sweating or exposure to dust. Ensure 7–8 hrs of sound sleep — sleep before 11 PM. Practice stress management through Shiro Abhyanga (head massage with Brahmi Taila) or Nasya with Anu Taila. Include gentle yoga poses like Sarvangasana, Matsyasana, Pawanmuktasana to enhance blood flow to facial skin. Avoid excess sun exposure and heat-producing activities in midday.
Even with a healthy external lifestyle, internal imbalances in Pitta-Kapha and Rakta dhatu can trigger acne.
Ayurveda focuses on root-level detoxification and dosha balancing through herbs, diet, and purification therapies.
With consistent Ayurvedic management, you can achieve long-term clear skin and balanced metabolism.
Wishing you a good health 😊

Hello, Despite of all the healthy lifestyle-diet habits if you are getting acne, please consider the following factors into consideration" 1.

Common Reasons for Acne Despite Healthy Habits 1. Gut Health Imbalance - Even if you eat well, poor gut flora or low stomach acid can impair nutrient absorption. - Hidden food sensitivities (like dairy or gluten) may trigger inflammation. 2. Hormonal Fluctuations - Androgens, insulin resistance, or estrogen dominance can cause breakouts — especially around the jawline or chin. - Stress and poor sleep can disrupt hormonal balance. 3. Genetics & Skin Type - Some people naturally produce more sebum or have slower skin cell turnover, making them prone to clogged pores. 4. Product Use & Skin Hygiene - Even “natural” products may clog pores or irritate sensitive skin. - Over-cleansing or harsh exfoliation can damage the skin barrier. 5. Environmental Factors - Pollution, humidity, or hard water can aggravate acne. - Wearing masks, helmets, or tight clothing may trap sweat and oil. 6. Emotional Stress - Chronic stress increases cortisol, which can trigger oil production and inflammation.

Hello Ahsin,
Even though you eat well, avoid oily foods, sleep enough, and care for your skin, acne can still appear. This is because acne is influenced by internal factors, not just external habits or diet. Excess heat (Pitta) in the body can inflame hair follicles → red, painful pimples. Weak digestion (Agni) can create toxins (Ama) → these travel in the blood and show up as acne, often on cheeks. Hormonal fluctuations & sweat from workouts or intense sports can block pores. Low sun exposure → reduces Vitamin D, which supports skin healing. In short, even with a good lifestyle, internal imbalance can trigger acne.
Treatment Plan Internal Medicines Gandhak Rasayana – 2 tabs twice daily Mahamanjisthadi Kashaya – 2 tsp twice daily Praval Panchamrit – 2 tabs twice daily before meals Erand Bhrashta Haritaki – 2 tabs at bedtime Neem ghana vati - 2 tabs twice daily
External Application Manjistha with water – apply on pimples locally
Lifestyle Tips Continue washing face gently twice daily Avoid over-scrubbing or harsh chemicals Moderate stress with yoga, meditation, or deep breathing Get 15–20 minutes of morning sunlight for Vitamin D Eat fresh, warm, lightly oily food with ghee Stay hydrated
It can be due to hormonal imbalance. Are you married? Medicine 1. Kamadugdha with mouktika 2BD Before Bed time 2. Tretinoin 0.025% for local application on acne. I will suggest you to get vaman therapy in your nearest panchakarma center.
Acne can persist despite a disciplined lifestyle because various internal and external factors contribute to its manifestation. In Ayurveda, skin issues like acne are primarily linked to an imbalance in the doshas, particularly Pitta. Pitta dosha governs metabolism and transformation in the body, and imbalances can lead to excessive heat and toxins (ama) accumulation, which can manifest as skin eruptions.
Even with a vegetarian diet, certain foods may still aggravate Pitta. Spicy, sour, fermented, and excessively salty foods may increase internal heat. Incorporate cooling and soothing foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and fennel. Milk and ghee (clarified butter) have pitta-pacifying properties and can be included in moderation.
Although you avoid oily foods, ensure your diet includes essential healthy fats, such as those found in flaxseeds or chia seeds, as they support healthy skin barriers. It’s commendable that you wash your face and use moisturizer. However, avoid overwashing, which can strip natural oils and irritate the skin further.
Stress from your IT job may indirectly affect your skin; it can aggravate vata dosha, which in turn disturbs pitta. Pranayama, meditation and practicing mindfulness can help balance vata and relieve your stress levels.
Playing badminton and workouts are excellent for circulation but excessive heat generated from intense activities may exacerbate Pitta. To counter this, wash your face with cool water post-exercise to remove sweat and close pores. You may also consider using sandalwood paste on your cheeks, which soothes and cools the skin.
If these changes don’t alleviate acne, it’s advisable to consult with an ayurvedic practitioner for constitution-specific remedies. They might suggest a herbal regimen like neem or manjistha, internal cleanses, or offer individualized guidance based on your prakriti and vikriti.
Acne can be perplexing even when you follow a healthy lifestyle. From an Ayurvedic perspective, factors beyond diet and external skincare contribute to acne’s persistence. Pimples on the cheeks could suggest an imbalance in your doshas, primarily linked to pitta dosha combined with potential kapha involvement. The cheeks are considered a reflection of the lungs and passionately of one’s digestive fire (Agni). An imbalance in these areas may contribute to acne.
First, consider incorporating cooling foods and herbs like cilantro, mint, and coriander which can help balance pitta dosha. Also, ensure adequate hydration to assist in cleansing the system and facilitating digestion. Turmeric can be included for its pitta-pacifying and anti-inflammatory properties. A teaspoon with warm milk at night can be beneficial.
While you maintain a vegetarian diet, monitor for kapha-aggravating foods like excessive dairy or sweets. Also, address excess internal heat and emotional stress, which can manifest as skin issues. An appropriate pranayama practice, such as Sheetali or Sheetkari, can help cool down both mind and body.
Although your skincare routine is systematic, consider facial meditation or self-massage with cooling oils like sandalwood or vetiver at night. The connection between the mind and skin means stress impacts can aggravate acne; calming breathwork and meditation help mitigate this.
Even with minimal sun exposure, ensure you get some early morning sunlight to harmonize circadian rhythms. Assess gut health too; healthy digestion signifies a harmonious internal Agni. If these suggestions do not result in improvements, pursuing personalized consultation for targeted herbal formulations in-line with your Prakriti could be more effective.
