For persistent acne, especially at 18, we want to delve into an Ayurvedic approach to address the root causes. Acne is often associated with an imbalance in Pitta dosha, which governs heat and metabolism in the body. When Pitta is in excess, it can manifest in the skin as acne, inflammation, redness.

Firstly, let’s discuss diet. It’s crucial to reduce foods that increase Pitta such as spicy, oily, fried foods, and caffeinated beverages. Favor cool, hydrating foods like cucumbers, leafy greens, sweet fruits like pears and melons. Incorporating herbs like coriander, mint in your meals can help balance pitta due to their cooling properties. Drink plenty of water to aid detoxification - aim for around 8 glasses of water a day, sipped slowly throughout the day.

Next, consider incorporating herbs that pacify Pitta. Neem, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, can be taken internally, 1-2 tablets of neem extract daily. Alternatively, you can prepare a decoction by boiling 10-15 neem leaves in water until reduced by half and consume daily. Turmeric, too, is beneficial; add a pinch of turmeric to a glass of warm milk, to be consumed daily. Do remember to consult a healthcare provider to ensure appropriate dosages.

Topical treatments can also assist. Use a paste of sandalwood powder and rose water on the affected areas. Let it dry, and rinse with cool water. The cooling nature of sandalwood can soothe inflamed skin. Azadirachta indica (Neem Oil) can be applied sparingly onto the affected areas for its antimicrobial benefits.

In terms of lifestyle, establish a routine that allows for adequate rest and relaxation. Stress aggravates Pitta, so practices like meditation or yoga can be immensely supportive. Try to get at least 7-8 hours of sleep each night, as restorative sleep helps the skin and body heal.

Lastly, pay attention to your skin care regimen, keeping it simple. Over-cleansing and excessive use of chemical-laden products can exacerbate the issue. Opt for gentle, natural skincare that does not strip the skin’s natural oils. Acne can, at times, be persistent, so maintaining consistency in these practices is key to seeing the best outcome. Always consult a dermatologist if any condition worsens.

Thanks so much for clarifying this! I had no idea mixing meds could be risky. I'll stick to my doctor's meds and look into Ayurveda separately.
