Abstract
Acne vulgaris is a chronic inflammatory disease mainly affecting the teenagers. As it is chronic and affects face mainly, it always causes negative psychological impact on human life. In a study conducted in 2015 acne affected 650 million people globally making it the most common skin disease worldwide. In a study of “Global burden of disease” it is revealed that acne was the 8th common prevalent disease worldwide. In Ayurveda the features of Mukhadusika or Yuvanapidika can be correlated with Acne vulgaris. In modern medicine anti-biotics are mainly used for the treatment of acne. Due to increasing resistance of anti-microbial agents, side effects, and sometimes high cost of treatment, it is necessary to find herbal remedy for the cure of acne. In this article a review of efficacy of 5 potential herbal drugs for acne is done. These herbal drugs are Manjishta, Shalmali, Ghrit kumari, Daruharidra, and Yashtimadhu.
