Introduction

Acne (pimples) is one of the most common skin problems seen in both teenagers and adults today. It not only affects the skin but also impacts confidence and emotional well-being.

Many patients complain of:

• Recurrent pimples
• Oily skin
• Marks and scars
• Painful cystic acne

While modern treatments often give temporary relief, Ayurveda focuses on treating acne from the root cause by correcting digestion, detoxifying the body, and balancing hormones.

What is Acne?

Acne occurs when hair follicles get clogged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells, leading to:

• Whiteheads
• Blackheads

It commonly appears on:

• Face
• Chest
• Back
• Shoulders

Causes of Acne

The major causes include:

• Excess oil (sebum) production
• Dead skin cell accumulation
• Bacterial growth

• Poor digestion and toxin buildup

Ayurvedic Understanding of Acne

In Ayurveda, acne is related to:

• Pitta imbalance → inflammation, redness
• Kapha imbalance → oiliness, clogged pores
• Ama (toxins) → root cause of recurring acne

The key to treatment is:

✔ Blood purification
✔ Detoxification
✔ Improving digestion & metabolism
