Ayurvedic medicine advocates the use of herbs, essential oils and spices throughout their treatment regiments. Acne and skin care is no exception. Ayurveda believes that cleansing and purifying the blood will help balance the doshas and cure acne.
Therefore Ayurvedic practitioners recommend herbs that can cleanse the blood and restore health and beauty to the skin, by removing pimples, rashes or skin diseases. Some of the herbs that Ayurveda recommends for skin and acne problems include Neem, Turmeric, Indian sarsaparilla, sandalwood, Indian madder, Indian gooseberry, and Lodra.
