Ayurvedic treatment for pimples



Hormones called androgens become active and stimulate oil glands in your skin, increasing oil production. This, in turn, clogs pores , causing pimples and blackheads.

Sebum lubricates the skin. Sometimes the wall of the oil gland breaks and spills the sebum within the skin which causes redness, swelling, and pus - in other words a pimple.

How Sleep Affects Our Skin

During sleep, the heart beats more slowly, breathing becomes slower, growth hormones peak, muscles relax and body temperature lowers. Newborn infants sleep almost continuously, gradually decreasing their need for sleep. In early childhood, 12 to 13 hours of sleep are generally required and this amount decreases to approximately 8 hours in adulthood.

There are two main stages of sleep classified according to eye movement.

The first is rapid eye movement which is a shallow, dream-filled sleep.
During this time the muscles relax while the brain produces irregular wave activity.
and brain waves become larger as the body is asleep. where growth hormones peak, and cell and tissue repair take place.
Every 90 minutes the brain enters the dream sub-stage, where brain wave activity is similar in pattern to being awake, but muscles are not able to move as when awake. This stage lengthens each repeated cycle during the night, and is crucial to preserving mental health and long term memory, since the brain sorts through short term memory and 'deletes' unimportant data.
The second major stage of sleep is non rapid eye movement, where blood pressure drops and heart rate slows as the person enters a deep sleep.

Oily Skin Care


Causes of Oily Skin

Hormonal imbalances in adolescence cause oily skin. This type of skin is common in teenagers. The oil secretion in skin increases during teen age and decreases as age advances. Hormonal imbalance may appear during pregnancy and menopause, which lead to increase secretion of oil from oil glands of skin. Contraceptive pills and cosmetics also tend to increase the oil secretion. Humidity and Hot weather naturally increase oil secretion from oil glands of skin. The oil producing glands of skin are overactive and produce more oil. The excess oil, which oozes out gives the skin a greasy shine and the enlarged pores make the skin look coarse.

Ayurveda tips for Oily skin condition.
  • Wash skin with plenty of warm water (2-3 times a day) and mild soap or herbal scrub to prevent clogging of pores
  • Avoid using harsh chemicals to remove oil, as some amount of natural oil is needed to maintain the texture of skin.
  • Avoid constipating foods.
  • Include ginger, pepper, and long pepper in diet.
  • Exercise regularly.
  • Avoid excessive consumption of soft drinks, alcohol, tea, coffee and chocolates.
