5 Ayurvedic Herbs For Acne
Acne is a very common problem in today’s day and age. Natural ayurvedic remedies can help reduce them with ease. Read on to find out how!
Acne is caused by the production of excess sebum which mixes with dirt and dust on the face and clogs pores. This then causes a rush of white blood cells to that area which results in a swollen membrane that appears on our face.
All the causes mentioned above can be eliminated by using the following 5 ingredients:
- Amla
- Tulsi
- Honey
- Turmeric
- Neem
Amla
Amla possesses Vitamin C and antioxidants which help cleanse the skin. This keeps the oil at bay and prevents the clogging of pores. It is also a well known anti-inflammatory agent which helps soothe skin and reduce irritation.
The Indian gooseberry also prevents acne from coming back with its anti-bacterial properties. You can use amla in many ways to treat acne.
Tulsi
Basil or tulsi, a herb revered in Ayurveda as a natural healer can work wonders for acne as well. It helps reduce irritation and lightens pigmentation and acne scars. It is easily absorbed by the skin and can be used in many forms.
Honey
This sweet liquid obtained from bees has been known for its hydrating properties. It also helps reduce the swelling of acne easily. Its anti-inflammatory properties work towards reducing the swelling and redness of a pimple or acne and eventually helps reduce it effectively.

Active ingredients present in this wonder herb work towards reducing acne effectively. Its anti-bacterial properties eliminate the bacteria present on the skin, while its anti-inflammatory properties help reduce the swelling and redness caused by acne.
