Self-Help Guidelines<\/span><\/p>\n\u2022 Acne is aggravated due to the food that you eat. Some people, who have kapha constitution, react to milk products, nuts, fats, fried and oily foods, chocolate, hydrogenated oils and sugar. Iodine rich foods, such as liver, cheese, iodized salt, and crabs have been associated with acne, and should be avoided.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Apply an ice cube (wrapped in a soft piece of cloth) wherever you spot redness. It not only reduces the redness, it lessens the inflammation and helps the skin heal.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Expose your body to sun and air, but do not sunburn. Fresh air and daily exercise are very important. Get sufficient sleep. Keep your bowels regular.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Keep your bed sheets clean, as dead skin, oil, cosmetics, hair and dirt on the sheets will clog your pores further.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Do not pinch the pimple, as it can lead to inflammation. Worse still, squeezing can leave scars on your face. However, if you are desperate, then use a hot, clean cloth or tissue to soften the pimple. This will allow you to break the pimple open with gentle pressure.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Wash your face twice or thrice a day. However, avoid using soaps that dry your skin. Avoid oil-based cosmetics, as they tend to clog the pores on your skin.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Wash your hair every third or fourth day.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Several prescription drugs, including many types of contraceptive pills and corticosteroids, can cause or aggravate acne.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Emotional disorder can disturb digestive and endocrinal functions, leading to inefficient digestion of oils and a potential increase in skin oil, which in turn, cause acne. <\/b><\/p>\n
Ayurvedic Remedies<\/span><\/p>\n\u2022 Clean your skin thoroughly and apply egg white with a cotton swab. Let it stay for several hours or overnight. Egg white acts as an astringent.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Make a poultice of sugar with a small amount of water; wash your face and apply on the affected area. Sugar has an anti-bacterial effect.<\/p>\n
\u2022 To treat affected area, make an infusion of tulasi (basil) leaves. Put two to four tsp of dried basil leaves in a cup of boiling water, steep for 10 minutes, cool, and apply.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Place turmeric powder or tulasi leaves in a bowl of water, which has just been boiled. Cover your hair with a towel. Create a mini-steam bath for your face. Make sure to wash your face immediately afterwards, as dirt and oil can be removed more easily from open pores.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Kumkumaadi lepam applied on the face after washing can give good results.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Saaribaadyaasav taken 15-30 ml with equal quantity of water twice daily acts as a blood purifier and controls acne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
