Brief Summary   The skin, our largest organ, serves as a crucial barrier against external factors, including pollutants and microbes. Acne vulgaris (Mukhdushika), prevalent among teenagers and adults, affects quality of life significantly. Ayurveda attributes it to vata, kapha, and rakta dosha imbalances, treatable traditionally with vamana and lepana therapies. Modern medicine focuses on pilo-sebaceous unit inflammation and sebum overproduction due to hormonal, bacterial, and allergic triggers. Hemidesmus indicus (Sweta sariva) traditionally aids skin disorders by cooling and detoxifying raktadhatu. However, its overharvesting threatens extinction, prompting exploration of Cryptolepis buchanani (Krishna sariva) as an alternative. This study compares their efficacy in churna and lepa formulations for acne treatment. Cryptolepis buchanani, richly available, may substitute Hemidesmus indicus, enabling sustainable therapeutic practices. This research aims to generate clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness, steering future acne treatments.
