Acne — whether adolescent or adult — reflects an internal imbalance of digestion, hormones or stress. At AVK, we treat acne from the inside out, addressing the root causes through diet, internal purification and gentle external care rather than harsh chemicals.

Painful cystic or nodular lesions

Scarring and post-inflammatory pigmentation

Hormonal imbalances — puberty, PCOS, stress

Excess oily or processed food
Stress and sleep deprivation
Improper skincare routines
Acne (Yuvana Pidaka / Mukhadooshika) is primarily a pitta-kapha disorder. Excess pitta heats the blood, while kapha blocks the channels (srotas) in the skin. Treatment cools pitta, purifies rakta and clears blocked skin channels.
Every treatment plan is individualised after a thorough consultation. Below is the typical protocol.
Gentle stimulation of facial marma points (Sthapani, Phana) to improve circulation, reduce inflammation and calm the nervous drivers of hormonal acne.
Gentle herbal face packs and medicated oils — no chemical peels, no harsh exfoliation.
Internal preparations with Manjistha, Sariva and Neem to cool and purify the blood.
Elimination of pitta-aggravating foods — spicy, oily, fermented — and introduction of cooling, blood-purifying foods.
