Acne & skin
Online Ayurvedic consultation for acne and skin
Acne that keeps returning is often linked to more than skin care — diet, digestion, hormones, stress and sleep can all play a part. An Ayurvedic doctor looks at the whole pattern and writes a plan you can follow alongside your current skin care.

How Ayurveda looks at it
Ayurveda usually describes inflamed, recurring acne in terms of Pitta (heat) affecting the blood tissue (Rakta dhatu), often alongside digestion. Your doctor looks at your constitution, diet and routine to decide what to change.
Food matters in every Ayurvedic plan. See the pitta diet chart.

When to see a doctor in person instead
An online Ayurvedic consultation is not the right first step if you have any of these. Please see a doctor in person — or call 112 in an emergency.
- Painful nodules or cysts that leave scars
- Acne with irregular periods, excess facial hair or rapid weight gain (see a doctor about PCOS)
- A sudden rash, blistering, or skin changes with fever
- Acne that is affecting your mood or making you withdraw

Common questions
Can I continue my dermatologist's treatment?
Yes. Tell your Ayurvedic doctor what you use — including creams, antibiotics or isotretinoin — and don't stop anything prescribed without speaking to the prescriber. Some herbs and medicines shouldn't be combined, which is why your doctor needs the full list.
Does diet really matter for acne?
For some people it does. Your doctor will ask what you eat and may suggest changes to try and review. There isn't one diet that suits everyone.
How long will it take?
Skin takes time — usually a few months to judge a plan fairly, and results vary. Your doctor will set a review point with you.
