How to treat chronic acne and irregular periods in a 24-year-old with oily skin? - #54740

●A simple traditional face mask: • Multani mitti - 2 teaspoons Neem powder - 1/2 teaspoon • Manjistha powder - 1/2 teaspoon Mulethi powder - 1/2 teaspoon Sandalwood powder - 1/4 teaspoon • Turmeric - 1 pinch Borosilicate ash - 1/8 teaspoon • Rose water or aloe vera gel - as needed Method: Mix all the ingredients to make a thin paste. Apply it only to the pimple area or in a thin layer all over the face. After 10-12 minutes, wash it off with lukewarm water. This can be used 2-3 times a week. ●Why this paste is considered useful: Neem - Helps cleanse the skin and reduce the tendency to break out. Manjishtha - For redness and old scars. Mulethi - To soothe the skin. Sandalwood - To reduce excess heat and irritation. • Borax Bhasma - For excess oil and inflamed pimples. Multani Mitti - For excess oil and clogged pores. If pimples are very red, painful, or reoccur, another simple remedy is also used. Second remedy: At night, take 1/4 teaspoon of Triphala powder and fennel water in 1 glass of lukewarm water, which cools the body heat. This can be taken in the morning on an empty stomach or at night, 1 hour after meals. ●Triphala and Neem are considered in Ayurveda to reduce excess body heat, digestive disorders, and skin effects. When the stomach, sleep, and daily routine improve, the face often begins to gradually calm down. Also, keep a few small things in mind: Drink enough water during the day Reduce spicy, fried, and excessively sweet foods Don’t touch your face repeatedly Reduce staying up late Don’t squeeze pimples ●Coral Powder •Kaharwa Powder •Giloysat •Pearl Powder Mix all the herbs and make 60 packets. Consume with water and honey half an hour before breakfast and dinner. ●Ashokarishta Mix 4 teaspoons of the herb with 4 teaspoons of water and consume after meals in the morning and evening. ●Stree Rasayan Vati •Garbhasava 40 grams Take 2 tablets each with lukewarm water after meals in the morning and evening. Note: 1 gram of Lajwanti Panchang powder mixed with ghee and consumed in the morning and evening is beneficial for menorrhagia and leucorrhoea.

Your symptoms (long-term acne, oily skin, irregular/scanty periods, weight gain) suggest a hormonal imbalance with Pitta + Kapha involvement. So treatment should focus on hormone balance + metabolism + skin detox, not just creams. Keep routine regular. Avoid oily, fried, spicy, bakery and dairy excess. Reduce sugar and packaged food. Include warm, light meals and increase water intake. Daily exercise (even 30–40 min walk) is very important. Do not pick or squeeze pimples. At home: Neem water (boiled and cooled) can be used to wash face Apply turmeric + sandalwood paste 2–3 times/week Warm water with lemon in morning * Arogyavardhini vati – 1 tablet twice daily after food * Mahamanjishtadi kwath – 15 ml with equal water twice daily * Kanchanar Guggulu – 1 tablet twice daily after food This helps reduce acne inflammation, balance hormones, and regulate periods gradually. Give at least 6–8 weeks with consistency. Weight control will also improve results. Regards, Dr Raghuveer (Ayurvedacharya)

Lifestyle & Diet Ayurveda emphasizes that “creams alone” won’t fix a 12-year problem; you must change the internal environment. -Move More: Daily exercise (30–40 minutes of walking or Surya Namaskar) is mandatory to improve metabolism and hormonal health. -Pathya (Dos): Drink warm water throughout the day. Include cooling foods like bottle gourd, cucumber, and pomegranate. -Apathya (Don’ts): Strictly avoid fried foods, excess dairy, refined sugar, and bakery items, which aggravate Kapha (oiliness) and Pitta (inflammation).
