Treat Your Acne with Traditional Kerala Ayurveda

Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine, takes a holistic approach to acne treatment, aiming to address the root cause of the imbalance within your body. It goes beyond just treating the external symptoms and focuses on internal cleansing, dietary adjustments, and lifestyle modifications.

Understanding the Doshas:

Ayurveda believes that three doshas govern our health: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Acne is typically associated with imbalances in Pitta (responsible for digestion and metabolism) and Kapha (associated with structure and fluids). Excess Pitta can lead to inflammation and increased oil production, while imbalanced Kapha can clog pores.

Internal Cleansing and Detoxification:

• Panchakarma: These detoxification therapies, like Panchakarma, eliminate toxins that contribute to acne using herbal formulations, enemas, and massages.
• Blood Purifying Herbs: Herbs like neem, turmeric, and guduchi cleanse the blood and reduce inflammation.

• Dietary Adjustments:

  • Avoid Oily, spicy, and processed foods that aggravate Pitta.
  • Consume: Cooling and purifying foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to balance doshas.
  • Face Washes: Gentle, natural cleansers with herbs like neem or tulsi remove impurities without stripping the skin.
