A acne é uma doença inflamatória de suas glândulas sebáceas (glândulas secretoras de óleo) e folículos pilosos. A acne ou espinhas é considerada uma resposta fisiológica e dermatológica a certos estímulos internos e externos. É geralmente desencadeado em torno da puberdade, e tende a persistir durante a adolescência. Em certos casos, o problema fica muito grave, levando à supuração, ou seja, ao desenvolvimento do pus. Pode deixar cicatrizes de acne que permanecem por muito tempo, às vezes para a vida.

As drogas utilizadas no tratamento geral da acne são anti bacterianas, anti fúngicas e anti-inflamatórias. Os medicamentos para reduzir a secreção de sebo também são prescritos. Estas formulações estão disponíveis sob a forma de cremes ou pílulas para consumo. No entanto, como muitas outras drogas, alguns desses medicamentos têm sérios efeitos colaterais.

Em casos graves de acne, a cirurgia ou tratamento a laser também é recomendado.

Prana' stands for life force, and as the name suggests, it is instrumental in keeping us alive. 'Pranayama' is the process that helps us control 'Prana', and thus in a way, control our life. On careful observation, it is clear that there exists an intimate connection between the breath and energy-currents. Proper coordination of the breathing process leads to the control of vital inner-currents and energies. It ultimately results in the control of the body, mind and soul continuum. Over the millenia yogis have understood how each pranayama affects the energy meridians of the body and therefore these yogis recommend particular pranayamas for particular conditions and constitutions.

1.Tandem Breathing ('Sahita Kumbhaka') 

It has 2 types, based on whether or not there is any concomitant chanting of Mantras with the Pranayama exercise. 

Steps:

1. Comfortable aasana like Padma-asana or Swastika-asana.
2. Slow inhalation; with concomitant chants of the mantra 'OM AARAH', if possible.
3. Hold the breath for a short period of time. 
4. Slow Exhalation.

Significance:

It's a daily and constant process, which we seldom appreciate.

Benefits:

It encourages concentration with closed eyes while we inhale and exhale.

2. Awakening breath ('Surya Bheda')

Steps:

1. Upright position in a comfortable asana like Padma-asana / Swastika asana / Siddhasana. Concentrate with eyes closed.

2. Rest the right thumb on the right nostril (Avoid applying any pressure or blocking the nostril). At the same time, rest the right index finger on the space between 2 eyebrows and close the left nostril with the right ring and little finger.

3. Slow inhalation through the right nostril is pursued, till comfortable.

4. With the thumb applied to the right nostril, retain the breath firmly pressing the chin against the chest. There is no specific limit to this and it can be pursued till there is discomfort.

5. Slow and silent exhalation through the left nostril. It is followed by a short gap wherein inhalation is avoided. This same procedure is to be repeated again.
