How to Balance Pitta Dosha to Heal Hormonal Acne & Redness

In classical Ayurvedic dermatology, active acne, rosacea, and inflammatory breakouts are categorized as Mukhadushika. This condition stems from an aggravated Pitta Dosha overheating the digestive fire (Agni) and generating metabolic toxins (Ama) that circulate directly into the Rakta Dhatu (blood tissue).

✦ Dr. Prerna's Prescribed Protocol:
  • • Internal Blood Purifiers: Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia), Sariva (Hemidesmus indicus), and Organic Neem.
  • • Dietary Adjustments: Avoid sour, overly fermented, deep-fried, and chili-spiced foods; introduce cooling coconut water, soaked fennel water, and sweet pomegranates.
  • • Topical Lepa: Sandalwood and Lodhra paste applied with organic rose water to pacify capillary heat.

Shata Dhauta Ghrita 100 Times Washed Ghee
🌸 Anti-Ageing
🕒 4 Min Clinical Read • By Dr. Prerna Kohad (BAMS(Ayu))

The Secret of 100-Times Washed Ghee (Shata Dhauta Ghrita) for Ageless Radiance

Described in the ancient Charaka Samhita, Shata Dhauta Ghrita is prepared by washing pure A2 cow ghee 100 times in a consecrated pure copper vessel with distilled water. This intensive cold-emulsification transforms dense lipids into micro-droplet silk molecules that penetrate all 7 anatomical layers of skin (Twacha Dhatus).

✦ Key Dermal Benefits:
  • • Rebuilds compromised lipid barriers and delivers deep cellular collagen replenishment.
  • • Neutralizes copper-induced free radical damage and calms chronic dermatitis.
  • • Restores youthful elasticity, luminous suppleness, and erases fine dehydration lines.

Ayurvedic Secrets to Stop Hair Fall & Revive Weak Follicles

In Ayurveda, hair (Kesha) is an Upadhatu (byproduct tissue) of the bone system (Asthi Dhatu). Chronic hair thinning and scalp inflammation occur when excess Pitta dries hair roots or Vata impedes micro-circulation.

✦ Recommended Hair Regimen:
  • • Shiro-Abhyanga (Scalp Massage): Weekly massage using Kshirapak Bhringraj Taila infused with Brahmi and Amla.
  • • Nasya Therapy: 2 drops of Anu Taila in each nostril every morning to stimulate cranial marma points.
  • • Shirodhara: Warm medicated herbal oil stream over the forehead to eliminate stress-induced cortisol hair fall.

Gut Health and Digestive Agni for Skin
🍵 Gut & Wellness
🕒 5 Min Clinical Read • By Dr. Prerna Kohad (BAMS(Ayu))

The Gut-Skin Axis: How Balancing Digestive Agni Clears Melasma & Toxins

According to the fundamental Ayurvedic maxim, "Sarve Roga Mandagnau" — all chronic diseases, especially hyperpigmentation and skin dullness, arise from impaired digestive fire (Mandagni). Sluggish digestion forms Ama (sticky endotoxins) that travel through circulatory channels (Srotas) and manifest as stubborn dark patches on the cheeks and forehead.

✦ Gut Detoxification Steps:
  • • Sip warm ginger-cumin-coriander water throughout the day to ignite deep cellular Agni.
  • • Consume Triphala Churna at bedtime with warm water for gentle, non-irritating colon cleansing.
  • • Undergo classical Virechana (Ayurvedic therapeutic purgation) during seasonal transitions.
