The symptoms of frequent acne, constipation, white hair, and hair thinning suggest an imbalance that could be linked to excessive Pitta and Vata doshas, which affect both the digestive and metabolic systems, as well as the health of skin and hair. To address these concerns holistically, Ayurveda offers effective remedies that cleanse, nourish, and balance.
For acne and skin health, Neem and Manjishtha are highly beneficial for blood purification and reducing skin inflammation. You may take Neem tablets or Manjishthadi Kwath (15 ml with an equal amount of water) twice daily to cleanse the blood and clear up the skin. Topically, applying Kumkumadi Taila or Aloe Vera gel on affected areas can help reduce acne and improve skin texture.
Constipation is best managed by strengthening digestion. A daily intake of Triphala Churna (1 teaspoon with warm water at bedtime) can help regulate bowel movements and promote gut health. Additionally, adding warm, lightly spiced foods that are high in fiber, such as whole grains, green leafy vegetables, and fruits like papaya and pomegranate, will support digestion.
To manage premature white hair and thinning, Bhringraj and Amla are potent herbs for nourishing hair roots and promoting healthy growth. Amla powder (1-2 teaspoons daily with warm water) taken internally and Bhringraj oil applied to the scalp twice weekly can help strengthen hair and reduce premature graying. Also, consider massaging your scalp with warm oils to stimulate circulation.
Regular hydration, exercise, and stress management through yoga or pranayama are also essential for maintaining healthy skin and hair.

Hello Harish, please drink enough amount of water and include ghee in diet . Avoid junk, processed food, dry food to reduce constipation. Have cabbage , radish, dill in diet. Raisins, Figs soaked in water everyday, take 1 tsp Triphala with warm after meals. Tab Shaddharan 1/4 four times before food.

Well, from what you're describing - frequent acne, constipation, and thinning hair with greys - it sounds like there might be a bit of an imbalance in your doshas. In Ayurveda, these symptoms can often relate to a disturbance in both Pitta and Vata doshas.
Starting with the acne, excessive Pitta, which is associated with heat, can often manifest as skin issues. Alongside this, the constipation and hair issues points to Vata imbalance—this one governs movement in the body, including digestion and hair nourishment. Let's dig a bit into how you can address this with every day changes.
First, about your diet. Think about nourishing and cooling foods to pacify Pitta. Cucumber, coriander, and fruits like sweet watermelons and mangoes are good choices. Avoid spicy, oily and processed foods—they can irritate Pitta further. But don’t forget your Vata, needs warmth. Consider cooked, soft foods like kitchari or stews. Ginger tea can be comforting and stimulating for digestion too.
Staying hydrated is essential. Warm water, maybe with some mint or lime, aids digestion and can balance Vata. Aim for regular meal times to regulate Agni (digestive fire) and keep your bowels moving smoothly.
For skin, try washing your face with raw milk or rosewater. They’re naturally cooling. Applying neem or sandalwood paste might help soothe irritated skin. For the hair, consider massaging your scalp with coconut or almond oil once or twice a week; it nourishes and cools.
Stress can aggravate both Vata and Pitta—yoga or meditation can be brilliant for keeping your mind, and those doshas in balance. Try winding down with some deep breathing before bed. Good sleep does wonders.
Keep an eye on these things; subtle shifts can make a significant impact. But If things don't ease, a personal consult would refine these suggestions. Health can be delicate, always worth treating with care!
