The ayurveda teachings are very strong on using the proper diet to treat acne naturally. They are pretty much against using chemicals and other non-natural options, so here are some of the dietary solutions to treat acne in a holistic way. Pretty solid tips for general diet as well, if you ask me.

  • avoid eating cold foods, try to eat them at least at room temperature, or even better having them suitably warm
  • try to eat as many compatible foods together as possible. What does this mean? Well, when you eat compatible foods with each other, they help our body to ingest more nutrients.
    For example, eavy foods such whole grains, dairy, meats and starches do not combine well with light foods such as fruit, because they are quick to digest. Also, sour and acidic fruits are not well combined with milk, which is sweet and cooling. If eaten together they cause the milk to curdle and it will sit heavy in the stomach.
  • make sure you eat enough green vegetables, which will take care of proper bowel movement
  • always eat a lot of fresh fruits, because this will give you proper water content in your body, making your blood purer.

Like I said, these are great tips not only for acne, but for being healthy in general. But you will see that by adhering to these simple eating habits, in time your acne will diminish visibly, your body will simply respond to being treated well :)

The last part will discuss the best ayurvedic treatments for your acne.
