The Indian herbal medication industry is most likely the world's oldest medical care system. Herbs have a long history in ancient India, with one form of herbal medicine being described in the Vedas, India's ancient sacred literature. Ayurveda and Unani are ancient herbal medicine practices that use herbs and natural items to treat various health concerns. Although herbal remedies appear to be novel to Western healers and medical practitioners, the truth is that plant extracts are still used in the majority of prescribed medicines today. Countries around the world now appreciate this old kind of medicine, and Indian herbal pharmaceuticals are in high demand, resulting in rapid growth and an annual growth rate of about 30%. Skin, as the most exposed area of our body to pathogens, requires protection against skin illnesses, particularly acne-causing bacteria. Acne is the most frequent skin condition among teenagers today, accounting for 85% of all cases. They can persist throughout adulthood and primarily affect areas with the greatest oil glands, such as the face and neck. Some bacteria, including Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus epidermidis, live in the follicles. As a result, these microorganisms can be targeted as a potential acne cure.
