subjectAbstract

Acne (MUKHADUSHIKA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the pilosebaceous units, common in puberty and characterized by the formation of comedones, erythematous papules and pustules, less frequently nodules or cysts and in some cases, scarring. Four major factors are involved in the pathogenesis: increased sebum production, an abnormality of the microbial flora, cornification of the pilosebaceous duct and the production of inflammation. Teenagers all over the world spend huge amounts of money in order to solve the problem of their acne. But what they only manage to do is to reduce the surface problem, while the acne persists under the skin. Therefore, the acne problem reoccurs throughout the youth of the person. In Ayurvedic medicinal texts this disease is mentioned as “Mukhadushika” or “Yuvana Pidika” or “Tarunya Pitika". According to Ayurveda, the Shalmali thron like eruptions on the face of adolescents due to vitiation of kapha, vata and rakta are known as “Mukhadushika” or “Yuvana Pidika”. As Mukhadushika is one of the raktavaha srotadusti janit vikaras and yakrit and pliha are the roots of raktavaha srota so, by treating the root of the disease through the drugs acting on Sroto moola i.e. yakrita and pliha like Rohitaka and Sharapunkha, desired results on acne (Mukhadushika) can be obtained.
