Acne

According to Ayurveda, Acne is believed to be from Pitta dosha aggravation. Before we delve into any home remedy for acne or discuss how to get rid of pimples, here are some of the causes which can cause it.

Acne is a skin condition that occurs when the oil-secreting glands in the skin are clogged and become inflamed or infected. Ninety percent of teenagers get acne. Its a catchall term for a variety of symptoms such as pimples, whiteheads, blackheads, blemishes, rashes, inflammations, eczema, psoriasis, discoid lupus erythematosus etc.

Genetics : If your mother or father had acne has a teenager, there is a good chance that you will have it too.
Hormones : Hormones called androgens become active and stimulate oil glands in your skin, increasing oil production. This, in turn, clogs pores, causing pimples and blackheads. Hormonal changes around your period or birth control pills - starting or stopping - can also cause an acne flare-up. At puberty, the oil glands of the skin start producing an oily material called sebum. Sebum lubricates the skin. Sometimes the wall of the oil gland breaks and spills the sebum within the skin which causes redness, swelling, and pus - in other words a pimple. Plugged oil glands may form blackheads and whiteheads. Blackheads are not caused by dirt.

Stress : While stress can't actually cause acne, it will potentially aggravate this or any other skin condition.

Other causes of Acne :

There is a bacteria that normally lives on the skin called Propionibacterium acnes. This bacteria lives on the sebum produced by the skin oil glands. Sometimes, this bacteria multiplies and causes inflammation and acne.
Foods generally do not cause acne. In some people, certain foods will make acne worse. The most common ones are chocolate, nuts, carbonated beverages, and milk. Most people's acne is not aggravated by these foods.

Acne is a common skin disorder characterized by clogged pores and pimples.

More than four out of five people between the ages of 12 and 24 have acne at least once. But while the disorder is often associated with teenagers, it can affect people of all ages. It's not uncommon for acne to occur in people in their 20s and 30s. And, some people continue to have acne in their 40s and 50s. Many adult women experience mild to moderate acne due to hormonal changes associated with pregnancy, their menstrual cycles, or starting or stopping birth control pills.

Acne is rarely a serious medical condition, but it often causes emotional distress and can lead to scarring of the skin. With the right treatment, you can often keep acne under control. Measures also can be taken to reduce scars left by acne.

Acne Vulgaris

Acne is a common and chronic skin disease. It is an inflammatory condition of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. The lesions are usually found on the skin of the face, neck, chest, and shoulders. Nearly six out of ten young people between the ages of twelve and twenty-four suffer from some degree of acne. The disease causes a great deal of embarrassment at an age when people tend to be sensitive about their personal appearance.

Causes and Symptoms

Acne is characterized by the presence of comedones or blackheads, pimples, small superficial sebaceous cysts, and scars. There are over half a dozen forms of acne, the most common being blackheads. The areas chiefly affected are the forehead, temples, cheeks, chin, chest, and back. In rare cases, almost the entire body may be covered with blackheads accompanied by extensive scarring.

All forms of acne have their origin in wrong eating habits, such as irregular hours of eating, excessive consumption of starch, sugar, fried and fatty foods. Chronic constipation is another cause of acne. If the bowels do not move properly, the waste matter is not eliminated as quickly as it should be and the bloodstream becomes surcharged with toxic matter. The extra efforts of the skin to eliminate excess waste result in acne and other forms of skin diseases. Other causes of this disorder are a devitalized condition of the skin resulting from unhygienic living habits, excessive use of tea, coffee, alcohol, or tobacco, and sedentary habits which lead to indigestion and general debility.

Acne can be caused by any one or all of the following conditions

Acne can be caused by any one or all of the following conditions: hormonal changes or imbalances, yeast overgrowth, or "sticky" blood which is often due to the over consumption of sugar, dairy products, soft drinks, junk food or chemicals such as additives, preservatives, and food dyes…. First, omit sugar and sugar substitute products including candy, chemical sweeteners, cakes, pastries and the like, as well as caffeine containing products including al soft drinks. Secondly, limit highly fat saturated foods to once a week, including, but not limited to hamburgers, French fries, hot dogs and the highly processed American cheeses, even if they do say "low fat". The indigestibility of all these foods will often cause allergies, which can trigger the acne.

Instead.... eat meats in combination with vegetables only, and plenty of them.... Rather than soft drinks, use plenty of purified water, fresh diluted fruit and vegetable juices, and herb teas, in between meals...

There are many wonderful natural remedies for acne, which, you will be pleased to find, also tend to make one generally feel better. Keep in mind, however, that natural skin remedies, like herbs and homeopathics, also tend to be blood and liver cleansers…. Start slowly with the herbs listed in the complete text of this topic (see below)....

The herbal preparations included in the THERAPY PACK (see below) have been specifically formulated for your requested condition based on centuries of observation and experience. They can assist in clearing and nourishing the body and help to re-establish proper balance and function to affected organs. In this way, they give the body the tools to heal without the threat of major side effects. (See directions in the complete text).


Remedies

Vitamins: Two vitamins, namely, niacin and vitamin A have been used successfully to treat acne. Vitamin therapy should comprise the intake of 100 mg niacin, three times daily, and 50,000 international units of vitamin A, three times daily. Vitamin E, 400 mg, should be taken once daily. This therapy should be continued for a month.

Zinc: Another effective remedy in the area of nutrition that seems to offer new promise of help for acne is zinc. It has shown dramatic results in some cases. Zinc should be taken in therapeutic doses of 50 mg three times a day. 7inc is available in tablet and in capsule form. In tablet form, it is available as Zinfet - 200 mg (Yash Pharma, Bombay). The patient can take a quarter tablet so as to get 50 mg of zinc. In capsule form, zinc is available as Ulseal220 mg (Tam Pharmaceuticals). One-fourth of the powder inside the capsule can be taken as a single dose. The patient can take a dose of 50 mg daily up o one month or till there is noticeable improvement and then reduce the dose to 25 mg.

Orange Peel: Orange peel has been found very effective in the local treatment of acne. Pounded well with water on a piece of stone, the peel should be applied to the affected areas.

Lemon: Lemon has also proved beneficial in reducing pimples and acne. Its juice should be applied regularly to obtain relief

Garlic: Garlic has been used successfully in the treatment of acne. Pimples disappear without scars when rubbed with raw garlic several times a day. Even extremely persistent forms of acne, suffered by some adults, have been healed with this herb. The external use of garlic helps to clear the skin of spots, pimples and boils. The process is further helped by eating three pods of raw garlic once daily for a month to purify-the blood stream, so as to secure a long-term clearance of the skin.

Coriander and. Mint juice: A teaspoon of coriander juice, mixed with a pinch of turmeric powder, is another effective home remedy for pimples and blackheads. The mixture should be applied to the face after thoroughly washing it every night before retiring. Mint juice can be used in a similar manner as coriander juice.

Fenugreek: Fenugreek is another useful remedy for acne. A paste made of the leaves of this vegetable, applied over the face every night before going to bed and washed with warm water in the morning, prevents pimples and blackheads.

Cucumber: Grated cucumber applied over the face, eyes, and neck for fifteen to twenty minutes has been found effective. It is the best tonic for the skin of the face. Its regular use prevents pimples and blackheads.

Dietary Considerations

To begin with, the patient should take only an 'all-fruit’ diet for a week, taking three meals a day, of fresh juicy fruits, such as apples, pears, grapes, grapefruit, pineapples, and peaches. Only unsweetened lemon or plain water, either hot or cold; should be drunk and nothing else. After the one-week, all-fruit diet the patient can gradually adopt a well-balanced diet with emphasis on raw foods, especially fresh fruit and vegetables, sprouted seeds, raw nuts, and wholegrain cereals, particularly millet and brown rice. Further short periods of the 'all-fruit’ diet for three days or so may be necessary at a monthly interval till the skin's condition improves. Meats, sugar, strong tea or coffee, condiments, pickles, soft drinks, candies, ice cream, refined and processed foods should be avoided as far as possible.

Other Measures

During the initial one week 'all-fruit’ diet, a warm-water enema should be taken daily to cleanse the bowels.

Hot fomentation should be applied locally to open up the pores and to bring out the waste matter. The affected parts should then be rinsed with cold water. The patient should take sun and air baths by exposing the whole body to the sun and air. A hot Epsom salts bath twice a week is beneficial in all cases of acne. This bath is prepared by adding 1 1/2 kg of Epsom salts to 60 liters of water having a temperature of about 37.80 C. The patient should remain in the bathtub for 25-35 minutes till he sweats freely. After the bath, the patient should cool off gradually.
