🌿 ACNE (Yuvan Pidika) – Ayurvedic View at Dr. Garje’s Ayurved Panchakarma Clinic
In Ayurveda, acne is referred to as Yuvan Pidika or Mukhadushika. It is mainly seen in adolescents and young adults and is caused by vitiation of the doshas, especially Pitta and Kapha, along with Rakta Dhatu dushti (impure blood).
Dr. Garje’s Ayurvedic Panchakarma Clinic in Nerul, Navi Mumbai offers holistic, root-cause-based therapies combining detox, herbal remedies, and lifestyle corrections for acne.
🌿 Acne (Pimples) – Ayurvedic Perspective
Acne is a common skin condition that develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum) and dead skin cells. It typically affects areas such as the face, neck, chest, back, and shoulders.
In Ayurveda, acne is known as Yauvanpidika, derived from "Yauvan" (adolescence) and "Pidika" (pustules or papules), highlighting its prevalence during teenage years.
🔍 Ayurvedic View on the Root Cause
Acne arises due to imbalance in the three doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—with Pitta playing a dominant role.
These toxins settle in deeper tissues like:
- Rasa (nutrient plasma)
- Rakta (blood)
- Mamsa (muscle)
- Lasika (lymph)
This leads to inflammation and contamination of skin tissues, causing acne. Ayurvedic treatment focuses on:
- Internal detoxification
- Herbal formulations
- Dietary corrections
- Lifestyle changes
🔍 Causes of Acne in Ayurveda
- Aggravation of Pitta dosha: Inflammation and infection in skin pores.
- Kapha involvement: Oily, sticky secretions clogging pores.
- Rakta dushti (Impure blood): Accumulated toxins in the blood.
- Improper Diet & Lifestyle: Spicy/oily food, stress, irregular habits, wrong cosmetics.
- Hormonal changes: Puberty, menstruation, PCOD, thyroid issues.
