Simply because it cures a problem from within!

But before we tell you about cure, you should first know the reasons that cause acne and skin blemishes.

Causes of Acne and Skin Blemishes

Pitta Dosh

Talking about blemishes first, this is generally seen as the discoloration of the skin or brown spots and patches. Blemishes are a typical Pitta disorder as per Ayurveda. Though exposure to excessive sun heat is one main reason as well, but Ayurveda goes deep and says that Pitta being the seat of anger and heat, when dysfunctions cause Blemishes. Your negative emotions like anger, resentment, frustration, grief can make the problems of blemishes worse!

Eating more dairy/oily food

Check if you have added more dairy or oily products into your diet especially if you are getting blemishes on cheeks, nose and chin area. The human body has limited capacity to digest the dairy products so excessive oils and fats come out in acne or blemishes form.

Stress

Mental health can be one of the reasons behind acne. Stress or hypertension can be the reason of overall worsening skin condition. With the increase of stress levels, steroids (cortisol) production in the body rises as well. This leads to the overproduction of oil in the skin; no wonder stressed people get pimples more than the usual. Proper sleep, Shirodhara treatment by an Ayurvedic expert and Ayurvedic medication can help in the cure in this case.

Dehydration

Lack of water is another cause of acne and pimples. Dry skin and low humidity conditions make the skin to generate more oil in order to preserve the water under the skin which later becomes the breeding ground for bacteria and pimples.

Excessive face touch

Believe it or not, if you have developed a habit of touching your face consciously or subconsciously then it can be one of the top reasons for getting acne. As we touch our face with dirty hands, harmful bacteria and germs get transferred to our face which adds to various skin problems.

Cosmetics and beauty products

Makeup and cosmetics are the useful part of a day to day life but they can also affect your skin adversely. If you have the habit of sleeping without removing makeup then you are inviting oil, dirt, and chemicals to cause the acne on your face.

Mensuration

In some cases, women can get blemishes during menstrual cycle or pregnancy. Also, during menopause, the hormones in women’s body can fluctuate which can trigger blemishes as well as acne.

Taking help of an Ayurvedic Vaidya is the best solutions for Acne and Blemishes as he will introspect into the problem from within and zero in on the main reasons.
