Acne is one of the most common of all health problems, affecting both males and females, particularly teenagers and young adults. It can take the form of blackheads or whiteheads or of pus-filled spots which may be dry or inflamed.

When the condition is bacterial or viral medications are often prescribed, which may give some relief but the problem often returns. In persistent or chronic cases which take a long time to heal pits or craters may be left behind when the cysts or nodules burst, sometimes to remain for life. In other cases the colour of the skin may change, leaving darker or lighter patches. Another form of treatment involves the use of laser, but while this is successful in some cases others experience no benefit even after many sessions, especially when the skin is thin.

Ayurveda has many herbal preparations to offer, both in the form of external pastes and internal medicines which can be very effective in purifying the skin and regenerating the skin cells. I have personally found these to be beneficial in more than 50% of cases, even when there is pitting and skin discolouration.
