Causes of Acne and Pimples

A large numbers of oil producing glands called sebaceous glands are present under the skin, prominently on face, back, chest and shoulders. During puberty or menopause due to the influence of the sex hormones, which are produced in male and female, these glands become more active and produce an oily secretion called sebum which makes the skin oily. The excessive sebum clogs the skin pore or the pit of the hair follicle. The blocked pore acts as good habitat for bacteria.The bacterial infection causes inflammation (red, painful swelling of the infected area) of the clogged pores or hair follicles.

Vata and Kapha are two main doshas, which are involved in eruption of acne and pimples.

The oil produced by glands is called as meda (body fat). Kapha (one of the tridoshas) is dominant in meda. The presence of Kapha in it sticky.

Vata is dominant in skin. When Vata gets aggravated due to unhealthy diet and life styles, it activates the oil glands of skin to secrete more sticky oil or sebum. Thus the sticky oil or sebum oozes out to clog skin pores.

Scars or Marks : When the infection spreads to sebaceous glands through infected acne a cyst develops below the skin surface.This cyst may rupture to spread the infection to neighboring skin tissues. This causes scars or marks

Asthma is a long-lasting (Chronic) disease of the lungs is inflames your airways (Bronchi) seriously, which is characterized by-

1. 1.Shortness of Breath/difficulty in breathing
2. 2.Feeling tightness or pressure in the chese
3. 3.Frequent upper Respiratory infection & wheezing
4. 4.Coughing – Ususally dry, light and non-productive

In today’s stressful modern urbanized living increasing the incidence of asthma considerably children suffer more than adults and more common in boys than in girls.

Asthma attacks are not all the same. Some are worse than other. Many people with asthma have problems only occasionally, but others struggle with it everyday. It can be life threatening particularly if it is not treated adequately and promptly. So taking care of asthma becomes mandatory.

Ayurvedic insight into asthma has a broader perspective. It classifies the asthma as an acutely Kaphic disorder with simultaneous accumulation of ama (toxin which produced by undigested and uneliminated food particles) at Respiratory system brought on by excessive mucous and phlegm. Although the human body has a great intelligent, natural healing system that is capable of rejuvenating itself, the formation of toxins reduces this natural capacity. So, the versatile approach of Ayurveda always focusing the root cause of disease. That means the therapy does not attack on Asthma, but attack on reasons causing.

TREATMENT:

Ayurveda emphasize on treatments to eliminate such toxins and balancing the Dosha.Some such treatments are -

• 1.Vamana (Therapeutic Vomiting or emesis) &
• 2.Virechana (Purgation therapy)

VAMANA is the procedure in which we eliminate the waste product (kapha toxins) which is collected in the body and respiratory tract from its roots (stomach) through the mouth. The course of treatment involves loosening and mobilizing the toxins in an effort to finally eliminate them. After vomiting the patient will feel very comfortable, most of congestion, wheezing and breathlessness will disappear along with the clearing sinus. As the process of purification is done from the roots the chances of attacks is come to control.

After Vamana, the Virechana therapy and internal medicines plays a role to stop further production of toxins and strengthens your immune system, make the respiratory system more resistant, enhance our self-reliance, vitality and mental clarity. Treatment for children below 14 years and aged people will include only internal pills and syrups.
