Case Study: The Role of KunjalKriya in Managing Acne Problems in Women

Acne vulgaris is a common dermatological condition in women, frequently associated with hormonal changes, digestive irregularities, and stress. Conventional treatments often provide temporary relief but may not address underlying causes. This case study examines the therapeutic role of KunjalKriya (VamanaDhauti), a yogic cleansing technique, in managing acne in a 26-year-old woman with chronic breakouts and digestive disturbances. The intervention combined weekly KunjalKriya with dietary modifications, selected Yogic Kriya, Sheetali pranayama, and shavasan/meditation. Over eight weeks, the subject reported improved digestion, reduced stress, fewer breakouts, and enhanced skin clarity. Findings suggest that KunjalKriya, as part of a holistic yogic regimen, may support acne management by improving gastrointestinal function, reducing internal toxins, and balancing stress-related triggers. This highlights the potential of integrative yoga therapy as a complementary approach to conventional dermatological care.
