By charlottelacar

Acne is an exceedingly common skin condition which has effects on youngsters at their adolescence and few adults till they reach forty five. Acne are referred as Youvana pitikas ( implying the eruptions of youth ) in ayurveda. What causes acne? A substantial number of oil making glands called sebaceous glands are present under the skin on face, back, chest and shoulders.

The sebum makes the skin more oily .The over the top sebum clogs the skin pore or the pit of the follicle forming acne.The blocked pore or acne acts as a brilliant habitat for bacteria. The bacterial infection causes redness ( red, painful swelling of the affected area ) of the clogged pore or follicle leading to eruption of spots.

Vata and Kapha Doshas

Vata and Kapha are 2 main doshas, which are concerned in eruption of acne and zits. Rakta dhatu or blood also plays a very important role in formation of acne. Vata when gets vitiated due to unhealthy diet and lifestyles is affecting other 2 doshas ( kapha and pitta ) to worsen them. Irritated pitta has effects on rakta dhatu or blood. Kapha has sticky property. The aggravated kapha imparts the stickiness to the oil produced by sebaceous glands of skin. Therefore the thick sebaceous plugs are formed in pores and follicles leading to eruption of acne. Acne becomes worse when one. Grease, dust or other oppressive chemicals amass on skin. Two. You have gone up levels of stress. Three. You luxuriate in Squeezing or pinching of acne. Four. When there are hormonal disparities during monthly cycle, menopause and adolesence. These may lead to indigestion and lead to vitiation of vata. Keep a practice of emptying guts frequently this always normalizes vata. Avoid junk foods and sodas. Wash your face twice daily with mild cleaner. Put a hair band to avoid falling of hair on face. Wash your hair continually with mild shampoo to keep it clean and avoid dandruff.

Methi Leaves

Wash fresh methi leaves ( fenu greek leaves ) and grind it to make a paste. Use it on face and wash it off with halfhearted water after ten mins. Apply this paste on acne and spots. Wash this off after it dries. Apply a face pack of ripe tomato pulp and wash it off as quickly as it dries naturally ( ideally after forty five mins ). Don't keep the make up while sleeping.

This seems to be useful. Maybe I could have myself indulge in this. I hate to have acne on my face, it lower my self confidence. If I have it, I feel like not talking to anybody else, don't even want to mingle with the people around. Thank you for sharing the idea.
