What are the Symptoms
of Acne?
Ayurvedic approach
to acneAccording to Ayurvedic concepts, bad food habits are the main cause of Yuvana
Pidaka or Acne vulgaris.This includes:
•Adhyashana – Consuming food at short intervals, due to which new food enters the body when the previous food is not
digested
•Virudhashana – Consuming incompatible foods together such as fish and milk together, curds and milk together etc
•Vishamashana – Consuming food with disregard to the bodily cravings, such as eating when not hungry or fasting when
hungry
1. On analysis of dosha involvement of Yuvana pidaka, Vatha and Kapha dosha are found to be the causes. A
pathological increase of Raktha or Blood and Meda or Fat dhatu can also cause yuvana pitaka.
2. Kapha blocks the normal excretory function of skin and the waste material stagnates inside, producing symptoms
like itching, pustules and nodules formation.
3. Raktha also gets stagnated and produces multiple eruptions, redness, raised local temperature, thick bloody
discharge from the boils and abscess formation.
4. Irritation, blackish discoloration and ugly scar formation are later contributed by Vatha. Here the vitiated Doshas
gets stagnated in the Srothas or Subtle channels of the body.

Rakta.
✔ Rakta is Pitta Vargiya Dravya (Category of Pitta) and Vamana Purifies
the Pitta also at some extent and thus it purifies the Rakta.
✔ In Mukhdooshika, Shrotorodha (Obstruction of body channels) is seen
in Swedavahasrotasa (Channels carrying sweat).
✔ Vamana drug with its Ushna (Warm), Tikshna (Sharp), Sukshma (Fine),

⚫■Low Back Pain
⚫■An estimation of 80% of adults will suffer at least one
incidence of LBP in their lives (Fonseca et al, 2009) .
⚫■Why Aquatic PT benefits patients with low back pain:

⚫■Patient should be comfortable in the water
Benefits of Aquatic PT cont..
Properties of water
⚫■“Buoyancy: when water counteracts with gravity to help
support the weight of the patient.
⚫■Viscosity: water provides resistance by means of gentle
friction
⚫■Hydrostatic pressure: there are powerful effects produced by
hydrostatic pressure that improve heart and lung function.
This pressure effect also aids in improving muscle blood f low”

Hydrotherapy
• Hydrotherapy is the use of water in the treatment of different conditions,
including arthritis and related rheumatic complaints. Hydrotherapy differs
from swimming because it involves special exercises that you do in a
warm-water pool. The water temperature is usually 33–36ºC, which is
warmer than a typical swimming pool.
• hydrotherapy treatment is performed within a hospital’s physiotherapy
department. The focus of the exercises can be adjusted to help your range
of movement or strength, depending on your symptoms.
• Hydrotherapy tends to be different to aquarobics, which can be quite
strenuous, as it’s generally more focused on slow, controlled movements
and relaxation.
Hydrotherapy is great for treating an array of some Arthritis problems
such as -
•Osteoarthritis (OA)
•Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
•Juvenile arthritis
•Ankylosing spondylitis (AS)
Uses of Hydrotherapy
Hydrotherapy can help you in a number of different ways:
•The warmth of the water allows your muscles to relax and eases the
pain in your joints, helping you to exercise.
•The water supports your weight, which helps to relieve pain and
increase the range of movement of your joints.
•The water can be used to provide resistance to moving your joints. By
pushing your arms and legs against the water, you can also improve
your muscle strength.
Exercises performed in hydrotherapy for
hip or knee pain
•Walking
•Knee bends
•Knee pushes
•Knee extension exercises
•Leg raise
•Squats under water
•Water cycling
•Under water treadmill
•Aqua aerobics
Hydrotherapy Exercises for Knee
Pain
What you need: For deep-water walking, a flotation belt keeps you
upright and floating at about shoulder height.
How it works: You’ll stand about waist- to chest-deep in water, unless
you’re deep-water walking. “You walk through the water the same way
you would on the ground,” .Try walking backward and sideways to tone
other muscles.

On analysis of dosha involvement of Yuvana pidaka, Vatha and Kapha dosha are found to be the causes. A pathological increase of Raktha or Blood and Meda or Fat dhatu can also cause yuvana pitaka. 2.
