Ayurvedic medicine (“Ayurveda” for short) is one of the world's oldest holistic (“whole-body”) healing systems. It was developed more than 3,000 years ago in India.

The age-old methodologies of Ayurveda go beyond conventional approaches to find an answer to acne and treat it from its roots rather than just topical treatment.



Acne is one of the most common skin diseases that is first indicated by the presence of pimples on the skin. To improve this condition, it is vital to first understand what acne is.

Causes- The primary cause is impairment of Agni which leads to the Imbalance of all the three doshas, predominantly the Pitta dosha, which further vitiates the rakta and meda dhatus (blood and fat tissues). Vitiated doshas produce toxins that block the Srotas (Microscopic channels) of the affected areas leading to pimple formation. The condition of acne can also be aggravated by excessive intake of oily, spicy, salty and sour foods, Constipation and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Even if the Scalp has more Oil and that can lead to Acne and Pimples. 

The sebaceous gland in the skin is responsible for the oily substance - sebum - which lubricates the skin. Acne is a condition that affects these oil glands and skin follicles. These glands are concentrated towards the face, upper neck, and chest areas which are most affected by acne.



Four main factors cause acne:

Excess oil (sebum) production

Hair follicles clogged by oil and dead skin cells



Bacteria

Inflammation

Certain things may trigger or worsen acne:

Hormonal changes

Certain medications
