The Triple Action Formula For Treating Acne
May 10, 2024
What is acne according to Ayurveda? Acne is considered Yuvana/tarunya Pidika according to Ayurveda. It occurs due to increasing pitta dosha, which governs metabolism and digestion. It is believed to be caused by inflammation of sebaceous glands due to an imbalance of androgen (sex hormone).
When Pitta becomes unsettled due to factors like an unhealthy diet, stress, hormonal imbalances, or improper skincare, it can lead to the collection of toxins (ama) in the body and skin problems like acne.
It mainly occurs in adolescence because of hormonal changes. Nowadays, due to poor diet and lifestyle habits, acne has become prevalent among individuals of all ages.
What changes can we incorporate in our daily lives to get acne-free skin according to Ayurveda?
Ayurveda understands that beauty is not something that is limited to just the outer appearance but is a proof of good internal health, which means any external problem is due to an imbalance between the mind, body, and soul.
In Ayurveda, maintaining balance in your diet, lifestyle, and habits can greatly influence the health of your skin, particularly if you're prone to acne. Here are some changes you can consider:
1. Dietary Adjustments
Avoid Spicy and Fried Foods: These can provoke Pitta dosha, which is associated with inflammation and acne according to Ayurveda.
Include Cooling Foods: Opt for foods that have a cooling effect on the body, such as cucumbers, watermelons, coconuts, and leafy greens.
Herbal Teas: Drink herbal teas like neem and turmeric which have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can help with acne.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to flush out toxins and keep your skin hydrated.
2. Lifestyle Changes
Manage Stress: Stress can trigger hormonal imbalances that may lead to acne breakouts. Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga, meditation, and deep breathing exercises.
Get Adequate Sleep: Ensure you get enough restorative sleep each night as lack of sleep can disrupt hormone levels and contribute to acne.
Exercise Regularly: Engage in regular physical activities to improve circulation and reduce stress. However, be sure to cleanse your skin after sweating to prevent pore blockage.
Maintain Proper Hygiene: Keep your skin clean by washing your face with a gentle cleanser twice a day. Avoid over-washing or using harsh products that can strip away natural oils and irritate the skin.
3. Habits to Adopt
Follow a Consistent Skincare Routine: Use natural skincare products suited for your skin type. Ayurvedic herbs like neem, turmeric, and sandalwood can be beneficial for acne-prone skin.
Practice Oil Pulling: Oil pulling is an older traditional practice that involves swishing oil in your mouth for about 15-20 min. It helps to remove bacteria and toxins and promotes oral hygiene. Ayurveda suggests oil pulling with coconut or sesame oil to detoxify the body and improve oral hygiene, which can indirectly benefit skin health.
Avoid Touching Your Face: Keep your hands away from your face to prevent transferring bacteria and oil, which can exacerbate acne.
Sun Protection: Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by wearing sunscreen and avoiding excessive sun exposure, as sun damage can worsen acne scars.
