Ancient Acne Treatment published article.

According to Anirudha Miryala, director of education for Anoo’s Skincare (www.organicspatreatments.com), acne tells you that a client has irregular habits or that there is a lack of knowledge with regard to diet and skin care. Specifically, she says, acne can indicate an imbalance in the hormones, diet and/or sleep. In women, the monthly cycle may not be regular as well, says Miryala.

“Oily and fatty foods aggravate the acne,” explains Miryala who discusses a few holistic ayurvedic solutions. “Some ayurvedic herbs have been proven to work on acne to help control it. Those herbs include tulsi, neem, mint, orange, and lemon peel powder. For 5,000 years, these ingredients have been used in ayurvedic treatments,” says Miryala who explains that the ingredients are antibacterial, antifungal and disinfecting when used topically.

“These herbs are more powerful than oral antibiotics with no chemicals or side effects. Even pregnant women can use these tips and treatments because they’re safe and effective,” she says.

Miryala believes ayurvedic acne treatments offer a quick fix even for teen acne. She recommends a once-a-week treatment regimen with the aforementioned herbal ingredients to control acne. She says the herbs are combined with orange juice and applied to the face. In addition, Miryala says it’s paramount to teach clients about proper eating habits.

“We teach clients to avoid fatty foods like ice cream and pizza and to avoid deep-fried foods. We tell clients to drink lots of juices like orange juice and other citrus fruits and also pineapple juice,” she says and offers an ayurvedic drink recipe for acne treatment from the inside out:

1 tablespoon of lemon juice

2 teaspoons of honey

½ cup of warm water

Mix the ingredients and drink the warm beverage first thing in the morning, says Miryala. “This recipe helps the digestive track and cleans the system,” she says.

Other recommendations for acne, treated the ayurvedic way, are sleep and water. Clients need to sleep eight hours a day, precisely, and to drink eight glasses of water per day, she says. “Sweat also aggravates acne and should be washed with an acne cure immediately after exercising.”
            “Ayurvedic acne treatments can be easily incorporated in to your spa business and you need not worry about contraindications,” says Miryala who suggests that owners who are interested in doing so should research companies and their offerings.

“There are a lot of companies that teach ayurvedic treatments,” says Miryala.
