1.Neem ghan vati 2 tab twice daily with water after meals 2.Paripathadi kwath 15 ml with 15 ml water twice daily after meals 3.Mahamanjisthadi kwath 15 ml with 15ml water twice daily after meals 4.Kumkumadi taila- massage gently with 2-3 drops of oil at bedtime and leave it overnight

Ayurvedic Daily Routine for Acne & Dark Spots Morning - Ushapan (Warm Water): Drink a glass of warm water with a few drops of lemon to gently detox. - Face Wash: Cleanse with neem or tulsi-based herbal cleanser (cooling, antibacterial). - Toner: Apply rose water or aloe vera gel to soothe and balance pH. - Moisturizer: Use light herbal cream with sandalwood or aloe. - Sun Protection: Apply natural sunscreen or aloe gel before going out.

Evening - Cleanse: Wash face with lukewarm water and gentle herbal cleanser. - Spot Application: Apply paste of turmeric + sandalwood + rose water on acne spots. - Moisturize: Use aloe vera gel or kumkumadi tailam (Ayurvedic oil blend for glow). - Relaxation: Practice 10 minutes of pranayama (sheetali or anulom-vilom) to cool Pitta.

🌿 Weekly Additions - Ubtan (Herbal Scrub): Mix chickpea flour (besan) + turmeric + milk or rose water. Use once a week to exfoliate gently. - Face Pack: Apply multani mitti (Fuller’s earth) + neem powder + rose water weekly for oil control and spot reduction.

🍎 Diet & Lifestyle (Key in Ayurveda) - Favor cooling foods: cucumber, coriander, leafy greens, pomegranate. - Avoid spicy, oily, fried, and junk foods (increase Pitta/Kapha). - Drink plenty of water and herbal teas (coriander seed water, fennel tea). - Sleep well and reduce stress—both aggravate acne. - Practice yoga asanas like Sarvangasana, Matsyasana, and Shavasana for skin health.

can i use ghee+turmeic+aloveral gel as my mom recommed me

Yes , u can use it… Use krte time thoda sa bs dhyan quantity ka de- Pure ghee – ½ tsp Turmeric powder – a pinch (not more than ¼ tsp) Fresh aloe vera gel – 1 tsp

Method: Mix all three into a smooth paste. Apply only on the dark spots or affected areas (avoid spreading on normal skin to prevent yellow staining). Leave for 20–30 minutes. Wash off gently with lukewarm water. Pat dry, don’t rub. Frequency: Once daily (preferably at night)

Dose ka or khan apply Krna h uska dhyan rkhe bs- Turmeric can stain skin yellow temporarily, especially with more than a pinch. Don’t use on active pus-filled acne; ghee can trap bacteria and worsen it. Always do a patch test on the inner arm before first use.

If any doubt arise plz consult, only apply after clearing every doubts

Hello I totally get how frustrating it is to deal with acne and those dark spots that just won’t quit. It’s not just about looks; it can bum you out, right? Well, here’s the thing: Ayurveda is all about fixing skin from the inside out. So, with the right steps, your skin can bounce back and get that glow going again!

✅ WHAT’S UP WITH YOUR SKIN (AYURVEDA STYLE)

* Main issues: Acne for a few months + dark spots from scratching * Simple face washing * No allergies

What this means: * Too much Pitta Dosha – heat in your blood is causing zits * Rakta Dushti – not-so-clean blood leading to spots * Ama piling up – toxins showing up on your skin * Scratching left marks (Vyanga/Neelika)

In Ayurveda, acne (Yauvana Pidika) is usually because of too much Pitta and not-so-clean Rakta (blood).

THE FIX * Cool down Pitta * Clean up Rakta (blood) * Fix skin stuff * Stop new acne from popping up * Lighten dark spots for real

EASY AYURVEDIC PLAN FOR GLOWING SKIN

INTERNAL MEDICATION

For acne & blood clean-up

1.Manjistha Capsule – one in the morning, one at night after you eat → Great for getting rid of spots and acne marks

2. Neem Capsule – one in the morning, one at night → Kicks out toxins and nips new pimples in the bud

3. Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet twice a day after eating → Gets your liver working right (super important for skin)

4.Triphala Churna – ½ tsp before bed with warm water → Clean gut = happy skin

EXTERNAL CARE

Morning: Wash your face with besan + turmeric + rose water (2–3 times a week)

Night: Put on some fresh aloe vera gel or Kumkumadi Tailam (2 drops) → Fixes skin, fades spots, makes you glow

Weekly face pack: Multani mitti + rose water + a tiny bit of turmeric (10–15 min, once a week)

FOOD FOR CLEAR SKIN

INCLUDE * Water, water, water (2.5–3 liters) * Coconut water * Pomegranate * Cucumber, beetroot * Green stuff * Ghee (1 tsp a day)

AVOID * Oily, spicy stuff * Fried snacks * Chocolates * Too much sugar * Tea/coffee * Eating late at night

HOW YOU LIVE

Every day: * 7–8 hours of sleep * Breathing exercises: Anulom Vilom + Sheetali (10 min) * Don’t touch or scratch pimples * Keep your phone and pillow clean

WHAT TO LOOK FORWARD TO?

In a month or two: * Less new acne * Skin calms down * Spots start to fade * Hello natural glow!

In 2–3 months: * Skin gets clearer, smoother * Skin tone evens out * Less oily * Feeling good about yourself 😊

Important Don’t scratch or pop those – it’s a big reason for those spots that stick around. Fixing your skin takes some time, but once you balance Pitta and your digestion, your skin will get better on its own.

Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

HELLO,

You are suffering from pimples post scars . This means -Pitta agrravation= heat, redness, inflammation, pus -Kapha aggravation= stickiness, clogged pores, white pus -Rakta dhatu dushti= recurring boils, poor healing - Agnimandya (weak digestion)= certain food like rice don’t digest fully, creating ama (toxins) that circulate in the blood and show up as pimples

So the root issues is internal imbalance, not just skin surface dirt, That’s why soap or face wash alone isn’t solving it.

TREATMENT GOALS -correct digestion and metabolism(agni)= stop toxins from forming -purify blood= reduce pus and new breakouts - balance pitta + kapha= control oiliness and inflammation -heals scars and improve complexion -support long term skin health with diet, lifestyle, and stress control

PHASE WISE TREATMENT PLAN

PHASE 1= DETOX AND AMA PACHANA (first 5 days)

-Chitrakadi Vati= 2 tabs twice daily after meals

-Hingwastaka churna = 1/2 tsp with ghee before meals

On 6th day morning empty stomach 6 am take 50 gm of Trivrut leha with milk After this you will observe loose stools for 10-15 times , this will detox your whole body and remove excess pitta and kapha during procedure until loose motions stops kindly dont take any food just have lukewarm water

After motions stop completely have light digestible food like khichdi, rice gruel only for that day

this procedure is called virechana= removes excess pitta from liver, intestines, and blood

FROM 7TH DAY START PHASE 2 MEDICINES

1) NIMBA GHAN VATI= 500mg twice daily after meals -purifies blood, antimicrobial

2) GANDHAK RASAYANA= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =detoxifies skin, reduces pus, enhances healing

3) MANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with equal water twice daily before meals =cleanses blood, reduces scars

4) ARIGYAVARDHINI VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals =balances liver, digestion, pitta

5) KHADIRARISHTA= 15ml with water after meals for long term detox

DURATION= 3 months minimum with consistency

PHASE 3= EXTERNAL CARE

1) FACE CLEANSING= wash with lukewarm water only, avoid harsh soaps

2) PASTE APPLICATION -Neem + Turmeric + Multani mitti paste weekly for pimples -Aloe vera gel (fresh) at night to cool and heal -Kumkumadi Taila at night on scars only-> for dullness and pigmenttion

=Keeps pores open, kills bacteria naturally supports healing without chemicals

PHASE 4= Lifestyle and Diet -Sleep= 10-11pm bedtime, 7-8 hrs sleep. Late night worsens pitta

-Avoid= daytime sleeping, junk for, fried/oily excess rice, dairy especially curd at night, non-veg, excess sugar, aerated drinks

FAVOUR -barley, wheat, millet instead of rice -green leafy vegetables, bitter gourd, bottle gourd, cucumber -fruits= amla , pomegranate , papaya -Spices= coriander, cumin, turmeric, fennel

HYDRATION -drink warm water or coriander water; avoid iced/cold drinks

PHASE 5= YOGA AND PRANAYAM

YOGA ASANAS -sarvangasana -matsyasana -bhujangasana =improves circulation and hormonal balance

PRANAYAM -Sheetali/sheetkri= cools pitta -Anulom vilom= balances doshas, reduces stress

WHY= stress and hormonal imbalance are major triggers to young adults

HOME REMEDIES -Apply paste of neem leaves or turmeric + sandalwood on pimples -Drink amla juice 20 ml daily= natural blood puriifier -Use honey + cinnamon paste as a spot application occasionally -Steam inhalation once a week with neem leaves in water-> open pores, clears toxins

-Pimples that last this long aren’t just " skin deep". They’re signal from inside- your digestion, blood and ifestyle -Ayurveda doesn’t just dr pimples; it corrects the root -Expect improvement in 6-12 weeks with consistent treatment, but scars may take longer time to fade like 3-6 months -Be patient and regular. Avoid picking/sqeeuzing pimples- that’s why the hols/scars are forming

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
