"A Friend in need is a friend indeed "?.an old english saying !
Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behavior between two or more beings. In this sense, the term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem and affection and respect along with a degree of rendering service to friends in times of need or crisis. Friends will welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other, often to the point of altruism. Their tastes will usually be similar & will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in mutually helping behavior, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviors. Yet for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm them. Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating on the tendency to desire what is best for the other, sympathy &empathy , mutual understanding, honesty, truth, especially in terms of pointing out the perceived faults of one's counterpart.

In Ayurveda, Acne/Pimples are termed as Youvana Pidaka or Mukha dooshika. The aggravated Pitta located in Twacha (Skin) and raktha (Blood) causes red swelling called Pidaka. According to Ayurveda, acne are the papules resembling the sprout on the bark of 'Shalmali ' tree and appears over the face of adolescents. Increased 'kapha and vata doshas and 'raktha and meda dhatu ' are involved in causing this disease. According to Ayurveda most important contributory factors in this condition is diet. Improper dietary habits may lead to acne or youvanapidika. Ayurveda believes that youvana pidaka is also caused by improper diet. Those, which aggravate pitta, also aggravate raktha causing Youvana Pidaka. Vamana and Virechana panchakarma can help in youvana pidaka. If no improvement is seen in Vamana, Nasya and Siravyadha are to be performed. Lepa prepared out of drugs like vacha, lodra, sindhava and sarshapa or dhanyaka are highy useful..
