HELLO, You are suffering from Pigmentation (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

Hello Thanks for sharing your skin worries with us. At 40, with combination and sensitive skin, it’s normal to see some pigmentation and dullness. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊 YOUR CONCERN You’ve got: • Dark spots • Uneven skin • Skin is not as bright • Sensitive, combination skin This has been happening for over a year. What Ayurveda Says: It’s a Pitta + Rakta thing with a little Kapha in the way. Basically: • Too much heat (Pitta) makes spots. • Not-so-clean blood (Rakta) makes skin darker. • Kapha is clogging your glow. So, we need to cool things down, clean your skin, and feed it inside and out. What We’re Aiming For: –Less pigmentation –Brighter skin – Better skin feel – Stop new spots – Real glow The Plan: 1️⃣ Cleanse Blood & Get Glowing (Inside) 1 Khadirarishta 15 ml + same amount of water, twice a day after food 2 Manjistha Capsule 1 capsule, twice a day 3.Gandhak Rasayan 1 tablet before bed with milk These fix pigmentation at the source. 2️⃣ Cool Pitta &Stop New Spots 1.Avipattikar Churna ½ tsp at night with warm water 3️⃣ Skin Care (Outside) Morning: • Put on 2 drops of Kumkumadi Tailam, massage gently • After 20 minutes → Wash with a gentle herbal cleanser Night: • Mix Aloe vera gel + a tiny bit of turmeric + rose water • Apply a bit → wash it off in the morning Eat This, Get Glowing: More of: – Coconut water – Pomegranate – Amla – Ghee – Beetroot Less of: – Tea, coffee – Fried stuff –Spicy/sour stuff – Eating late Pigmentation is more than just skin deep – it’s about blood and heat being off. We’re fixing your skin from the inside. Stick with it, and your natural glow will be back! Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate
