Acne is a common skin condition happening to younger people in their puberty period and to older people until their 45th year of age.

In Ayurveda, acne is implied as eruptions of youth (yauvana pitikas). Problems with acne date years back and Ayurveda explains its founding and recommends acne natural remedies.

What Causes Acne?

Under the face skin, back, chest, and shoulders, there are many oil-producing glands called “sebaceous glands”. During puberty or menopause and under the influence of men’s and women’s hormones, these glands become more active producing oily secretion called “sebum”.

The sebum makes the skin a lot greater than usual. Over-secreting of sebum closes the skin pores and the pit of the hair follicle forming acne. Blocked pores respectively acne are habitat of bacteria and this infection causes red and painful swelling inflammation causing pimples.

Vata and Kapha are the two main doshas directly included in the eruption of acne and pimples. Rakta Dhatu or blood, has a great role in acne forming. Vata when vitiated from unhealthy nutrition and bad living has a direct influence on the other two doshas – (kapha and pitta) and worsens their condition. They are affected by blood (rakta dhatu) causing excess secretion of oil from the sebaceous glands. Kapha has sticky property. Aggravated kapha secretes sticky matter in the oil produced by sebaceous glands of the skin. Such thick sebaceous plugs formed in the skin pores and hair follicles cause the creation of acne.

Acne worsens if:

  • They come in touch with dirt, fat, or some chemicals;
  • When you have hormonal imbalance during puberty, menopause, or menstrual cycle;
  • High stress level;
  • If you are under medicine therapy or some hormonal therapy;
  • If you are squeezing or pinching the acne.

Cautionary measures:

  • Avoid spicy, dry, and oily food. It is hardly digested and can infect data;
  • Avoid fast food and sparkling drinks;
  • Avoid the application of scrubs;
  • Don’t squeeze your acne;
  • Don’t allow dirt;
