Ayurveda is often referred to as the Science Of Life. It’s a centuries-old ancient holistic healing system that was developed in India. Ayurveda is based on the notion that health and wellness depend largely on the right balance between body, mind, and spirit. Ayurveda personalized the healing process. The medicinal system focuses not simply on the treatment of various diseases, but formulating a unique lifestyle that would help avert them. However, being a medicinal system perfected over many centuries, Ayurveda offers effective treatments to various kinds of illnesses.

Acne is a very common skin disorder that Ayurveda effectively deals with. Acne is the presence of blackheads, whiteheads, and certain types of pimples on the skin. The most common areas where Acne appears are the face, chest, shoulders, and back. Thus the disease can be highly distressing and irritable. The pimples can sometimes be painful and leave back disfigured scars. Mostly found during the teen years, Acne gradually diminishes and fades as a person moves into adulthood. However, in some cases, it persists through adulthood as well.

Here, we are discussing how the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda is effectively used to treat Acne. Do read through and get invaluable insights.

The patient should wash the face frequently to avoid dust build-up. It is advised to follow a pitta-pacifying diet and avoid fatty, oily, spicy, fermented and sour food. These are basic.
