HOW ACNE FORMS?
Acne are the skin lesions or inflammation of the skin which occurs when the sebaceous glands located at the base of hair follicles, become overactive due to bacterial infection, gets swollen and filled with pus. According to ayurveda, the above mentioned causative factors make imbalance of kapha and vata dosha(the two basic elements of our body) leading to indigestion(Agnimandya).As a result there will be formation of toxins, vitiation of Sebaceous glands of the skin(medho dhathu), making the blood impure and hair roots thin thus producing acne.
 Treatment
External applications which kills the bacteria by inducing oxygenation in the affected pores or follicles are more in use now a days. It is important to note that oxidation causes free radicals and leads to faster aging of the skin which is more dangerous. Ayurveda aims at treating the root cause of the disease rather then treating just the symptom. In healing Earth multispecialty ayurveda hospital, we treat the Individual/patient (Rogi) rather than treating the disease because every person will not have the common causative factor, some may have a single causative factor while some others may have a combination of several causative factors. We properly analyse the causative factor and then decide the treatment so that the patient will be free from acnes .
