2. Acne and Pimples
Apple gives good result in case of skin problems like acne or pimples. According to Ayurveda, an aggravation of Kapha leads to an increased sebum production and clogging of pores. This results in the formation of both white and blackheads. Another factor, an aggravation of Pitta causes red papules (bumps) and inflammation with pus. Applying Apple pulp on the affected area helps to reduce acne or pimples because of its Kapha-Pitta balancing properties. It also reduces inflammation due to its Sita (cold) nature.
