Yuvana Pidika: The Heat Within
Creams only treat 10% of the problem. In Ayurveda, acne is not a skin problem; it is a blood (Rakta) and Pitta problem. The heat is trying to escape through your skin.
Why You Break Out
Acne, or Yuvana Pidika, is primarily caused by the vitiation of Pitta Dosha (Heat) and Rakta Dhatu (Blood). When you eat spicy, sour, or fermented foods, toxins mix with the blood and erupt as pimples.
Kapha then makes the pus, and Vata causes the scarring. To cure it, you must cool the blood.

"I spent a fortune on dermatologists. Dr. Arti's advice to stop yogurt (fermented) and start Neem capsules changed my skin. The cysts stopped erupting within 2 weeks."
